Like many across the nation, people in Northern Colorado have been going about their day to day lives in spite of the frigid cold weather this past week.
Temperatures have been BELOW ZERO for days. One of my friends in Greeley said “…are we in the freaking Arctic???”
I don’t know, perhaps some evil force is at work and in fact we have been transported into another dimension that looks exactly like the one we knew except colder –arctic, bitter, numbing, freezing, polar, seeps through every bit of you bone chilling colder.
Play theme from Twilight Zone here..
A good case could be made that watching the Twilight Zone as a child just makes you think weird thoughts, but if we’re going to be transported to another dimension -why not a warmer one, say, like Costa Rica or Florida?!!!
All silliness aside, I talked to a seller client yesterday, who actually IS in Florida. He has one of those monitoring systems that calls his phone when the indoor temperature in his Red Feather home drops below a certain degree. He thought maybe the thermostats were turned down too low after the home inspection.
Of course, I went up there to take a look and called him back. “It’s just very cold here”, I explained. It can be challenging for the heaters to keep up with these arctic temperatures, I suppose. ‘No one there to light a fire in the wood burning stove either.
“Well,” he said, “I won’t even tell you what the weather is like here.”
Um no, please don’t tell me!
He was relieved his thermostats were set; I was happy to help a client and realize that no evil supernatural force had taken over the climate,
because Florida, I assume, is WARM - Just as it should be!
Our weather is improving.
Homes are selling.
Life is good!
