Andre just wrote a post about anticipating the arrival of snow, named Waiting For The Snow.  I just looked out, and realized we have snow falling outside right now. 
I thought that after the two feet of snow and all of the problems associated with it in October, that I would hate this.   However, I am feeling kind of giddy about seeing it.  I guess I'm over it!
I now am gazing out the window with all of the putdoor lights on, and loving it!

The real estate market for November in Weston CT 06833 was rocked a little in the $501,000-$1,000,000 range.  Otherwise, December has been fairly steady.  The reason for the change may have been the storms we experienced this fall, with high winds and snow unexpected in October - probably kept the buyers away.  Sales will improve again in the spring.
