Even the 'Snow Birds' ask about the snow.

Real Estate Broker/Owner with WHISPERING PINES REALTY 20398180

A snow bird in Minnesota terms is a person or persons that go south for the winter and then re-appear in the spring.  I have friends and clients that go south every year.

The question I get from them often is..."What does my home look like with snow?"

I usually tell them to come home and find out for themselves, Especially when they talk about fishing and golfing.

But, I usually do get around to showing a few pictures to themselves.  

I wonder what it would be like to ask that question.   I don't see that happening to soon!

Because my mother was born and raised in Cass Lake, Minnesota, I never had to ask about the snow or cold in the great white north.  It was always a topic of conversation every time I complained about the weather…

We get that here too!  I also get calls and questions after a hurricane, people concerned about their vacation homes!  This winter was the first I really wanted to be a snow bird!
