Waking up in Clarksville

Well, I woke up this morning thinking I would see something on the ground that was either shiny (ice) or white (snow). Nope! Nothing.  Wouldn’t that be something if we didn’t get hardly anything?!  It wouldn’t surprise me.

For the first time our Montgomery County Schools called the day before and cancelled school for Friday.  Right now, my husband has a 9 am work call due to the Post having a 2 hour delay.  So, it looks like we are going to start seeing something around noon.

What do you think? Will we get 12-18 inches?  I am guessing a foot of snow! I just pray that whatever we get, everyone will stay safe and warm and just enjoy this time of seeing the white in our area!

Have a great afternoon!

Snow and ice in Clarksville, TN

According to the weather channel we are in the “Winter’s Triple Threat”. Are you ready for this storm?  As of 8:30 pm Thursday night, Nashville is suppose to get over a foot by the time it is all finished on Sunday!  Clarksville is north of Nashville, so we are probably looking in the range of possibly 12-18 inches.  Hopkinsville, KY which is only 20 minutes away from Exit 1 in Clarksville is said to have approximately 18 inches! (I cannot believe these numbers have been broadcast!)

Clarksville has been gearing up for this storm that is 1700 miles long since wednesday by putting down the salt or brine.  The roads will be dangerous, so please stay off of them.  There has even been concerns of power outages. As I was in Wal-Mart this afternoon, I ran into a lot of my friends who were getting ready for the storm that will keep us indoors.  They even mentioned the fact that we might lose our electric. There is always a possibility. Those without a fireplace, do you know how you would stay warm if the electric is to go out?

Here are some ideas* to stay warm if you don’t have electric or a fireplace. First make sure that you have not blown a fuse and check your circuit breaker in your electrical home panel. If the power is out over a widespread area, it may take longer to restore power everywhere. Sometimes it can be out for days.

• Unless there is an emergency, do not call 9-1-1. That number should only be used if there is an emergency, or if someone is injured or in danger.
• If there are power lines down in your neighborhood, do call 9-1-1 and call your utility company. DO NOT GO NEAR DOWNED POWER LINES.
• Listen to a battery powered radio or TV at the top of the hour.
• Dress to stay warm. Wear layers, including a sweater, sweatshirt or even a jacket. You lose heat through your hands and the top of your head. Wear gloves and a knit hat, not just a baseball cap.
• Avoid opening your refrigerator and freezer as much as possible.  Food inside should stay cold for hours if the door is left closed.
• If you’re cold, take a warm shower – to increase your body temperature. Your hot water tank, even if electric, will stay warm for a few hours.
• Unplug some of your major appliances. When the power comes back on, all those appliances can create a drain or power surge. This can harm sensitive equipment. Leave a light on so you’ll know when the power is back on.
• If you have a generator, do not connect it to your home’s power system unless it has been properly installed and disconnects you from the main power grid when its operating. If you do not disconnect from the power grid, you can be sending electricity back down the lines; not just to your home. That could be deadly for the power company workers.
• If you have a regular wood stove or fireplace, you can use it for heat. However DO NOT USE kerosene heaters, BBQs, or any outdoor type heater inside.  Such devices create poisonous gases such as carbon monoxide.
• If you are in a neighborhood and know of someone that has a fireplace, call and see if you can come over there if the power goes out.
• Check on your elderly neighbors or those who may have medical conditions or use medical machinery that operates on electricity.  Make sure they are dressed appropriately warm.
• If you have to go out, drive carefully.  Remember that traffic signals may be out during a power outage.

As of 8:30 pm Oklahoma is without power for 63,000 residents and it could take up to 5 days to restore power! They have freezing rain and will have over 16 inches of snow after that.

Texas has wind damage reports at peak: 7,500 without power and road crews are on 24 hour mode. Floods here and more to come! Wind has been the biggest culprit.

Arkansas is stock piling poles 400 linemen are on standby to replace. That is a lot of poles!

This is coming our way! Over 21 million people will be impacted!

Please stay safe and warm.

Unreliable Realtor

Recently I was speaking with a client of mine that was telling me how he has a friend who has had nothing but problems from his Realtor. The main complaint?

COMMUNICATION!

My client doesn’t have this problem with me and is so thankful for it. After listening to what he was saying, I began to think how awful it must be, to be in one of the biggest life decisions, home ownership, and you can’t get a hold of the one person you are depending on…your REALTOR!

I know most of you that are reading this, if you are a future buyer, worry about who you will “hire” to be the one person, or possibly team, to negotiate your transaction and represent your best interests. Many buyers, let’s face it, don’t know how to even begin finding a Realtor or know what their job really is.  Who will they trust? How will the trust be earned? Many are told horror stories about things that went wrong and it is blamed on the Realtor.

When you decide that you want to purchase a home, maybe your having to relocate or maybe you want to downsize or upgrade for more square footage, whatever the reason, you might start off by going to the google search bar and searching “Clarksville Real Estate Agent”.

Vavoom! You have a list of Realtors but how do you choose the “right” one for you? Read the rest of this entry »

Our week starts tomorrow!

Are you ready for the week to start? It will be monday and for many it’s the first day of the year to work!  The week will be a big one for our family. The children go back to school after their holiday season, Art will start his new job as a civilian after 23 years of Military service and I will be in our new office on a regular schedule!

I predict that 2010 will be a big year for our business and personal life.  Our military will once again deploy to parts known and unknown, so the housing market might be a little slower but then we have those that are moving to the area and needing to find a place to either buy or rent.

I am getting our marketing in gear, in doing so, where would you like to see Team Agnew?  We plan on being more active with helping the sellers of our community.  It has been a hard year to sale in 2009 for some and we have revamped our strategy to network and produce action with our homes that are listed with us.

If you are planning on selling your home in 2010, please contact us and let us know when a good time would be to set up for an interview.  We love to be interviewed and share our philosophy and enthusiasm for helping those in need.

May the Lord bless you in this year, 2010!
