It gets bitter. The houses are all vacant, repossessed, and cold. Although the "idea" of a cozy snow day sounds dreamy, the <strong>reality</strong> is my face will be stinging from windburn by the time I am done shoveling the driveway and taking my buyers from house to house. The crazy home buyers are so excited they do not cancel. I am right with you on the hermit aspirations, though. Remember that movie THE NET with Sandra Bullock? She was a total hermit and I really wanted to be her. ;-) I am a realtor in Michigan. It gets bitter. The houses are all vacant, repossessed, and cold.

Then snow days are nothing more than a huge nuisance and a real danger as we try to slip-slide our way thru traffic snarls and hopefully get to work in one piece with no damage to man or machine.
