This is for the 2nd week in January the previous 2 years. Weather has not been a factor so far this year. We have had a mild winter so far. Last year January and February were brutal. I can’t remember the weather for 2018 during this time. Activity happens throughout the year. You might want to get a jump on the Spring market so you don’t have as much competition to sell.
