When I walked out of my house this morning I noticed that my ears began to tingle.  Actually it was their way of saying “take us back inside you loon, it’s cold out here! They’re big whiners, my ears. I don’t listen to them much. As it turned out though, they were right this morning. The digital thermometer in my car was saying it was ten degrees. I started my car and went back inside to wait for it to warm up a little and thaw the windshield. If you ever move to Leavenworth you will have to figure a little extra time into your morning regime for warming up your car on cold winter days. Yesterday was beautiful and clear and yes even sunny. Cold clear nights usually follow such gorgeous days though so you have to brace a little for those. I guess its just the price we pay, tit for tat. My friend, Dexter, who also grew up here in beautiful downtown Leavenworth, was just reminding me of a time in about 1964 or maybe 1965 when the thermometer dipped down to about thirty below and stayed there for a week or two. He said he remembers going out and shoveling, wearing just a tee shirt, when it finally warmed up to ten degrees above zero. Luckily we don’t see that kind of weather very often. Today might be a good day to go out and soak up some rays. I need to straighten up some “for sale†signs the snow plows have had their way with anyway. It’s just one of the hazards of selling real estate in snow country. Sometimes after a snow storm just the Prudential “rock†is visible above the snow with the rest of the sign being buried. That’s when some wading is in order. I need to have the “Prudential Mike West Real Estate†boldly visible so that people recognize we have yet another fine property available. We do actually have a pretty nice and varied selection of quality properties available. If you haven’t seen our web site in a while, check it out. The main site is at Prudential Mike West .com. Let us know what you think. www.prudentialmikewest.com
