To continue the weather discussion - and keep semi on topic - how is weather affecting your sales? People staying indoors so more buying? People staying indoors + no hydro = No Internet ergo No Buying 😞
I just had a banner week. Sold some high-end stuff. It is way below average here in Belleville. Not what the brochure told me. Still, Winnipeg and Churchill are in the -50C range. However, I expect that there.
If I was still in Winnipeg, I would be in week five of not going out. Record cold plus record snow.
I know, I know, the whole continent is getting it so I shouldn't feel special. Actually, we got LESS than most places.
Still, none of this was in the brochure.

I'd be looking at who wrote up the brochure... maybe a class action lawsuit in the making there...

Mr. E, if your brochure written in the last 20 years, none of this would be in there. I, and my mother, and my mother's grandmother all grew up around your area (Cobourg/Belleville), and believe me, winters used to be like the one you're having now, only worse. Skating started in November and carried on until March. This year is an anomaly across the country, even here in NS. Old people are saying this is "like the winters used to be", and I think they're right. Winters have been getting generally warmer over the past 30 or 40 years in southern Ontario. So just wait another year, and your brochure will be right on the money.
As for weather and sales, I don't know, maybe so. Almost all my sales over the past 2 weeks have been to people in California -- seriously. 
Back in my liquor store days, the worst thing for Christmas sales was nice weather. The worse it was, the better the sales.
In Winterpeg when a storm hits, the old boy pulls out the chevy, plunks Momma in shotgun and they go and get a carton of milk, tin of cat food, and a box of beer.
She is lactose intolerant, they don't have a cat, and he doesn't drink beer.
