Weather in Reno/Tahoe Nevada breaks 128 year record

It was announced a few days ago that December 2011 was the driest in 128 years. This morning I decided to take a walk with my dogs and go down the Galena trail that runs thru Galena Forest Estates and Montreux golf and County club, down to Callahan park. The walk took me about 2 hour there and back. Never have I seen the trail with not a sign of snow in January, the creek was running steady with a few frozen spots.

It has also been a record-setting couple of weeks in terms of temperatures, especially up at Lake Tahoe. Since Xmas day we have set four high-temperature records in Reno, however up at the lake it has been even more impressive. In the 10 days after Xmas, nine high-temperature records fell at South lake Tahoe. Yesterday’s high in Reno was 59 and today it will reach a high of 63.

For all those gardeners it is important to remember that trees that were planted in summer last year should be watered as they will die with theses high temperatures and no precipitation. I noticed today at Montreux they were even watering the grass and believe it or not the Jack Nickalaus Signature golf course is still open for play.

If you or anyone you may know have real estate questions or inquiries in the Montreux, Galena Forest, ArrowCreek, Saddlehorn, St. James or Scotch Pines areas, please contact Louise Simpson by email atlouise@montreuxgolf.com or by cell at (775) -750-1901.

Greetings, I was born in South Africa, and moved to Nevada over 30 years ago. I have resided in the Reno area for the past 25 years, living the past 20 years in Galena Forest Estates, much of it with my three lovely sons. I have been involved with the Montrêux Real Estate Group since its inception in the early 90's, and was previously the marketing director of the Montrêux Development Group the past eight years. Having known the area for so long, and believing I could help share the Montrêux area with others, I chose to begin selling homes with Dickson Realty, the broker of record at Montreux and one of the most professional real estate companies in the greater Reno, Nevada area. I am happy were I am and would love to help you find a quality, yet affordable home or piece of real estate in Reno or the Montrêux area. Reno living, with its outdoor lifestyle, fresh air, proximity to Lake Tahoe and the Sierras, not to mention Nevada's tax friendly attitude to businesses, make the area one of the best-kept secrets in the United States. Additionally, Montrêux has spared nothing in its goal to make it the best place to live in town, since quality of life usually takes precedence over everything else. Please feel free to contact me for a relaxed, no-pressure meeting if you are interested in buying or selling a home in the Reno, Nevada area. I look forward to meeting anyone interested in real estate opportunities, even if you're uncertain about buying a home. I will listen to your needs and work diligently to find you a home, or steer you in the right home-buying direction otherwise. Please call or email me if you have any questions - I really believe I can make a difference in your search for finding or selling a home. Ms. Louise Natalie Simpson P.S.
