CT Valley Snowman Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 2" new. It's been like pulling teeth to get good snow growth combined with heavier rates. It seems like most of the event so far has been either one of the other. Better rates with poor snow growth in the morning and better snow growth with rates struggling at times in the afternoon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our area was a jackpot area for the 2/1 storm Expand I'm not saying its a bad snowfall spot, period...I mean relative to surrounding areas. This area did not jack in 2/1....south had more, as it usually does....or north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand You will get more for your home but expect to pay a lot more for your next home. And the competition is like guys lining up for a date with Kate Upton.....Our real estate agent told us that many homes are going for 40K-60K over asking price. Another client of hers put a bid on a home. There were 72 offers made on the home. Some real estate agents are refusing to take on clients unless they have a place to go once their home is sold.
