who knew polar votex is good for real estate

Nationally, home searches increased by 2.6% overall for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit the temperature dropped. Why? In part because cold weather keeps people inside where they do more indoor activities, including searching for real estate online. But cold weather doesn’t simply cause people to do more of everything to an equal degree. When temperatures plummet, searches for homes within the searcher’s own metro rise 2.2%, while searches for homes outside the searcher’s own metro rise 2.9%.

And the colder it gets, the better warm looks. For every 10-degree temperature drop that occurs where a house hunter resides, we see a 4.4% increase in searches for homes in warm regions, which is bigger than the increase in searches overall. While some of this searching might reflect the desire to move to a warmer place and leave winter behind permanently, the increase in searches for homes in sunny vacation spots is even higher: a 5.5% jump for every 10-degree temperature decline. In other words, searches for homes in warm vacation destinations increase more than twice as much as home searches overall.

Riversider: I'm hearing from friends living on the UES about the lack of Sanitation Dept. garbage removal.
I saw it on the t.v. news and the garbage bags are still out there on the streets, even after newspaper photos
were published yesterday.
There hasn't been garbage pick-up since the aftermath of the Polar vortex snowstorm (and the streets finally got plowed).

why don't you sue?

do they have a polar vortex in C0lumbia C0unty?

Thank goodness he's o.k.
