Snowed in here in Flagstaff

After a few days of only patchy snow from our last storm, during which the snow play areas had to close, we've been hit with a great storm over the last 24 hours. I've been snowed in, but still accomplished lots of real estate work: calls and e-mails about negotiating contracts (we got two agreements over the weekend!), new listings, old listings, as well as writing for my other blog. Thank goodness my client care manager was able to make it to the office to handle the escrow openings, as well as a variety of other stuff.

But I also took a break mid-day to enjoy the beautiful place that I'm lucky to live in near Flagtaff, Arizona. Here are some pictures from my mid-day snow-shoeing adventure. (And note that it's sunny, even during a snow storm, in Flagstaff. (See my whinny post about my visit to Iowa over the holiday.) Here are the pictures:

Ten inches accumulated on our picnic table

Here's a photo of ten inches of snow accumulated on the patio picnic bench. Storm is surrounding the house at this point with sun breaking through overhead.

View of new snow

Here is the view looking into our property from the National Forest Service.

Gate to forest with tracks

This is the fence line between home and the Coconino National Forest, with my snow shoe tracks.

Returning from snow shoe adventure

In this photo, I'd like you to focus on how cute Rusty is rather than the size of my hips.

Read about my projects for the first weeks of January, as published for Flagstaff real estate readers. (Yes, I haven't finished, but I do have a new listing presentation and it's on the way to two new prospects as of today.)

Thanks for reading. Happy New Year to all Active Rainers!

Loved the photos...have lived north of Flagstaff and have clients and friends there.  How far is the University of Arizona at Flag from your home?

Wow. And there I was all ready to take a trip out to your area (Sedona). I absolutely love visiting this time of the year. The pictures are beautiful, though.

Scott and Jennifer ~ I just talked with someone in FL and it was forty degrees? Different part, I guess!

Mary ~ thanks! Sometimes I get lucky with the camera.

Judi ~ it's Northern Arizona University. On the other side of town, or about 20 minutes away.

Darleen ~ Sedona is 45 minutes and a different climate away. (3000 feet lower in elevation)

Ann it is so wild to think of snow in Arizona, but your pictures are totally stunning!  That is the one thing I miss in the Atlanta area!  Snow is totally rare here in metro Atlanta.

Jim -- think 7000 feet. That exceeds Denver's elevation and explains our climate.

Ann, Beautiful photos.  We've been enjoying the same here in Michigan.  Everything looks so crisp and clean with the just fallen snow.
