When It Doesn’t Quack Like a Duck
March 4th, 2009 categories: Real Estate News
While March is upon us, the area is currently experiencing a cold spell. Schools are closed, and many government offices and businesses have taken the past two days off. All because of a little cold…and snow…and ice. Have you ever seen Virginia drivers trying to handle ice? It ain’t pretty!
Most of us are wondering, what ever happened to global warming? While the weathermen frequently seem to overstate their case, this time they were right on the mark. We were told we’d have seven inches, and Stafford and Spotsylvania counties got about seven inches. The brunt of the snowfall descended on Sunday evening and Monday morning. Of course, my high schooler was beside himself with joy at the prospect of additional school days off. Since it appears that it requires all the road clearing vehicles just to take care of the major county roads, many side roads aren’t safe for the county school buses to travel on when there’s snowfall. And, that’s probably good school board policy.
According to the weather channel, temperatures should be warming up next week. The big yellow school buses will be back on the roads, and the roads should be clear. So, it looks like Spring is right around the corner. Then again, maybe I’d better pull out the good old Farmer’s Almanac to double check.
