Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.”
John Ruskin
(English Writer and Critic of art, architecture, and society, 1819-1900)
When the first snow happens before Halloween I get nervous about the winter. But today’s snow is very pretty, as long as it doesn’t stick around!
But with snow comes the winter parking ban, which in Marquette begins Nov.1st. The Marquette City website says;
Winter Parking Ban
Marquette City residents, NMU students, and visitors are reminded the city's winter parking ban will be in effect beginning November 1st. The winter parking ban requires owners of vehicles to find off-street parking between the hours of 1:00 am and 6:00 am each night.
The winter parking ban will be in effect from November 1st to April 1st. The fine for violating the parking ban is $50.00.
Marquette residents are encouraged to find alternate off-street parking before the parking ban goes into effect.
Some people may say that winter is not the time to buy a new home BUT I say this winter may be a great opportunity to buy a home. I am seeing motivated sellers who are offering to pay 2 months mortgage, throw in snow blowers and are generally doing what they have to do to get their home sold. River Valley Bank wants to help buyers sort out fact from fiction and are holding a buyer event. If buying a home in the next 12 months is something you are considering then join me at River Valley Bank Thursday evening.
