When we get a Snowzilla, it does show things down.  People here don't know how to drive in snow!

It pretty much cripples our area. Sellers don't want snow tracked in their homes and buyers don't want to drive or walk in it.

Naw, snow is just part of doing business in Canada!  Freezing rain will keep me indoors however.  That's just too dangerous to be out and about.

Depends on how much snow there is & the temp. If it's too cold like in the minuses, must people don't want to go out unless they have to.

During a snow or ice storm, things slow down, but as soon as the roads are passable, everything starts up again.

I've shown houses where I had to wade through two foot thick snow to get to a front door to get it open for my clients. (Now that's exercise!) When there's a possibility of that, I make sure the shovel is in the back of the car.

We would be in such shock here everything would stand still.  It didn't seem to bother buyers back in New England - I was out on some really snowy days showing property unless it was a significant storm. I foten hoped they would cancel but it was rare
