Anyone had any success. Thinking about trying it tomorrow. I haven't knock on a door in 8 years.

I think door knocking is fun and can be the best thing to do if you ran out of leads BUT I think you would burn out quick in terrible weather.
You might get in more doors easier than normal though since they see you freezing out there.
I'm a door knocker. I don't think the cold weather helps me to get in more doors...maybe it's my face. I've had many tell me that they're letting cold air in the house and shut the door. lol
That's what I'm thinking. The very cold weather has them not wanting to open the door and if they do they don't want to keep it open listening to us. DK'd a couple old leads yesterday and both had the door barricaded with blankets and rugs to keep out the cold. Had to move all that crap to see what I wanted. One did let me in and bought but the other nicely told me to F off. But both had bad phones so it was DK or trash.
They also don't want us tracking in snow. I've left a few puddles under the kitchen table from appointments I had set telemarketing, and I'm sure people don't want a stranger tracking in a mess. But I still do it.
This holds true to rain but desn't seem to hold true for extreme cold. At least not in my experience.. Rain, they empathize with you.. Cold, the only thing they have on their mind is shutting that door and keeping the heat in the house.. May be different here where cold is a newsworthy event (schools are closed today due to the cold) than it is farther north where they are a little more used to it.I think door knocking is fun and can be the best thing to do if you ran out of leads BUT I think you would burn out quick in terrible weather.

Closed due to cold?!! Unless it's -30, we'd just tell you to put on an extra scarf.
