Too Cold to Show Property?

It’s cold out there! I think that’s one thing we can all agree on. I was watching Monday Night Football with the Green Bay Packers playing Baltimore Ravens on “the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field” and was blown away when the temperature showed 20 degrees. 20 degrees? The thermometer in my car said 14 this morning. Portland colder than Green Bay, Wisconsin? Incredible.
In any case, I’ve been showing houses like crazy. I think that’s a very, very good thing. My personal anecdotal evidence says that the market is doing well. Now maybe my own personal production is not quite enough to base a market report on, but still.
There are, however, some perils to showing houses in the extreme cold. I’m one of those guys who can’t seem to do anything while wearing gloves. Which means lots and lots of numb fingers and dropping of keys. Better still, I experienced my first frozen deadbolt yesterday. It took some serious work and a large helping of patience to turn that deadbolt. Locking the door on my way out was no picnic either. Perhaps I should start carrying a hair dryer or heat gun in the car. 
There’s more cold weather on the way and, happily, many more homes to show. My plea to everyone, please be careful out there PDX.
Lest you end up like this poor soul.
