February, 2011 we just came thru two record setting snow storms and record low temperatures but in Oklahoma fashion today we are 70 degrees. The Grand Lake area normally gets 9″ snowfall per winter, about 2″ in December and another 7″ in January. Some years we will have a March blizzard that comes and goes fast. Once or twice in 20 years we get a dose of winter like this year.

I love four seasons and we have four pretty seasons. While I hate snow, I must this record snow while piled high and cold outside, looked as pretty as a picture looking out our picture windows toward the lake while enjoying the warmeth of our furnace.

What I like about now, is you can tell with longer days that Spring is not too many weeks away and we will again be enjoying my favorite time of year with dogwoods and redbuds in bloom. People will be fishing, boating, and sea-dooing again and the sail boats will be out.

If you are thinking about a retirement home, Grove, OK on the shores of beautiful Grand Lake is a wonderful place to call home. We have quality health care with our one year old Integris Grove Hospital, friendly churches and civic clubs, and good shopping and dining. People welcome newcomers with open arms. We see people move here from both coasts and several from northern states that have brutal winters every year.

For a weekend second home on the lake there is no place like Grand Lake. Many weekenders enjoy Monkey Island with several gated communities that take care of the lawn so you can enjoy your time off. We have golf course homes, waterfront homes, and lakeview homes. We also have a nice selection of waterfront building lots to select from. There are nice homes or condos in all price targets from about $60,000 to the millions. You can search our Grand Lake MLS listings at the button above. Look over some and give us a call.
