Snow Day 1/12/11 The End

Yes, we know we are dorks. You know we are dorks too and it doesn’t hurt our feelings if you call us that. And we also know that you like these data posts, so you are at least a little dorky too. Don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone… The local MLS that we are members of has been collecting data electronically since 2000. We thought this would be a good opportunity to do a data
