Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!!!

There is nothing more refreshing than the white snow... specially in Vegas. It is magic, quiet and simply magic. Today's winter storm brought heavy snow to the Spring Mountains and the Red Rock Canyon area spreading down to Summerlin and even in few areas of Las Vegas Valley.

Las Vegas is not used to the White Christmas but today it was a quiet extraordinary disply of beauty and tranquil snow. In fact, the three snowiest months occurred in the Las Vegas Valley in the 20th Century, according to weather service records. The most snowfall was recorded in January 1949, followed by January 1974 with and January 1979.

Here are few images of what today RedRock-Summerlin encountered... Enjoy!

It looks like Recession... It sounds like Recession... But is it here YET???

It looks like Recession... It sounds like Recession... But is it here YET???

Despite all the negative news and economical statistics it is still an unclear question about Recession. In many economists specialists it is still in debate if the economy data meets the criteria of Recession or not! It is also very much an interpretation of local economy and financial indicators...

The truth is that economists are still in dilemma of recognizing the facts on hand. How soon is to soon to trigger the gun and call the economy in a Recession mood?... Some are still afraid that by recognizing that we are currently in Recession may trigger panic and more confusion... Whatever it is the economy doesn't look good and it looks like in spite of all efforts to correct the economical situation we are heading in the uncertain future.

An interesting analyze of the current economic situation By Barbara Hagenbaugh, USA TODAY: http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/2008-03-04-local-differences_N.htm

Looking at the States more affected by the ecomical melt down... California, Nevada, Arizona, Florida... States where the Real Estate market was booming only few years ago and today are the front runner of market melt down.

The percent of negative equity is simply stunning as well:
Percent negative equity of those underwater:

California: 27%
Florida: 29%
Arizona: 29%
Nevada: 48%
