Internet and small house update

unicornduke We got six inches of wet snow overnight and around 7:50, a tree must have come down on the lines because the internet went out along with C's landline. We still have power so that's nice. It's been snowing all morning too, so we're probably up to 8 inches or so. April surprises! Frost free date isn't until the third week of May, climate change has been pushing spring earlier in our area and we got used to it. Since we have power, I'm listening to music that is on my computer and decided to play roulette by having media player play everything on my computer which is everything from my rock phase in high school to FSTs to the Naruto soundtrack. Highly amusing and I get to play what is this music since I'm currently weaving across the room and can't see the screen.
House stuff has stalled out a bit due to lack of roof contractors willing to come out and see the house without charging us a $500 fee that is a deposit and will be credited back when we put the roof on. F has a friend getting their roof done now and that roofer is hopefully coming tomorrow although F hasn't been texting a ton. Our realtor told us she was happy to meet the roofer so I don't need to make the drive. We should be fine on time, I think appraisal is the only big thing left but the seller is nervous because she has a house that she's buying and is concerned about delays in closing. I don't think we'll delay but I don't want to either. We'll see. All our paperwork is to the bank at least.

May these all resolve neatly and at low cost!
There was snow on the ground here this morning but only a centimetre or so and it's all gone now. Sounds like you got much, much more snow. Hopefully it will observe a nice balance between melting briskly and flooding.

Hopefully the internet comes back soon....

Date: 2022-04-21 02:03 pm (UTC)We got about six inches of snow but it's all melted as of today, 4-21.
Our frost-free is Memorial Day Weekend. I froze my basil to death last year and the year before by thinking I knew better than the frost-free date. :(
This year I'm getting one early but it will live indoors until the danger has passed.
