Snow or No Snow

Snow or No Snow
Some Colorado ski resorts have between 14 and 17 inches of snow today. That is great for skiers and for the people who depend on that trade. I wonder how many people will spend the holiday season skiing. I wonder how many 2nd homes will be sold in these areas. This could be a really good time to get a great deal.
Of course for people who are not skiers this snow may just mean a hard time getting around. It is 42 degrees Fahrenheit in Charlotte this morning. That is not so bad; but it is wet and the cold goes straight to my bones. Do you think I am wishing for Mexico or Central America? You bet your sweet booty I am. What about people where it is snowing? Maybe some 2nd homes will be sold in warm places this season as well. This could be a really good time to get a great deal.
Every coin has 2 sides. Hopefully there will be a lot of sales. The retailers are getting a lot of traffic over the weekend. Perhaps the change of seasons, the holidays and the hopes for regime change in the USA will perk up the economy and get things rolling again. Do you think we have hit bottom yet?
