Too COLD

Good morning!
So I walked one of my children to the bus this morning, and although the temp. was -15 deg C (not too bad for winter), the wind-chill made it around -25C. At this temp, any exposed skin is prone to frost bite within around 15 minutes.
When I knock on peoples doors, I like to have my coat open at the top to show my collar and tie, no hat - just ear warmes, and one of my gloves is often off to shack hands. So, as I value my face, neck and hand, I choose to not door knock today.
The Ottawa Real Estate Market is proving to be stable right now. Housing starts are down a little, housing prices on average are up 6% in 2008, and inventory in 2008 was at 2006 levels. Now, there is little doubt that thnigs will not be quite as good this year as last, and not even close to the record breaking 2007; however, I believe that the market correction hear will be much milder then in many places in North America.
