Ice Mountain Nature Preserve

News and notes:

-- Ever heard of Ice Mountain? The Nature Conservancy's Ice Mountain Preserve in Hampshire County looks like a beautiful place to visit.

-- Just as well we all got too busy to challenge an Ohio blog this past week. Still, WVU did itself proud this season, even if couldn't put Xavier away in OT. Now, if you only count points scored by Xavier players not named BJ Raymond, than WVU takes it in overtime.

-- Celebrate Earth Hour. Turn off all your lights from 8-9PM local time tonight. Heck, go ahead and turn off your computer, too... it could use a break.

-- When I read this headline I didn't believe it, "State official says W.Va. housing market stays strong." Sure enough, there's a caveat (emphasis mine):

Aside from the Eastern Panhandle, Joe Hatfield says foreclosures have not increased in West Virginia like other parts of the country, which have been hit hard by falling housing prices. [snip]

Hatfield says West Virginia is doing better because it has fewer complex mortgages than other parts of the country.

House prices are definitely down in the Eastern Panhandle and time to market is way, way up. How is the real estate market in your neck of the woods?
