Yeah Guy, I read that it's raining in San Felipe too. I'm still here in the Sierra though freezing my burro off.
Why do Liberals insist and demand that achievers pay the way for nonachievers who are to lazy to succeed, or are just failures by their own choice?
Criminals prefer unarmed victims, dictators prefer unarmed subjects.
Why do ignorant people continue their blabbering when it only proves to others how stupid they are.

Not too bad. Does Reno and/or Carson City (valley) get any fog in winter?? Gettin out of CA is becoming a priority for us.

Barry.....sometimes during the winter we get what is known as "Pogonip", a very heavy fog with lots of moisture. Several years ago, it stuck around
for about 3 weeks.
Cancelled several flights at the Reno airport, coated everything with white frost, like dipping everything in white frosting.
Have you looked at the Pahrump Valley area, between Death Valley and Las Vegas?????....about 60 miles to LV.
Although in the Reno/Carson City/Douglas County area we definately do get the four seasons!!!!

Fog very occassionally, inversion sucks at times when there's no wind.

Thanks, guys. It's been years since we were thru Pahrump, but I have a friend that has lived there a long time, and he loves it. Good suggestion.
We have always been impressed with the Carson Valley and close environs------beautiful area, but getting crowded, but the infrastructure seems to be
playing catch-up but making progress.
Lots to think about. Fog is depressing (to us), but if minimal not so bad.

Barry.............not knowing what you want for a living area, you also might want to look at the Dayton Valley, just about 9 miles east of Carson
City on Hwy 50.
Yeah, we are growing up...a COSTCO, a Trader Joe's, an In-n-Out, a 5 Guys and an Olive Garden!!!!!.....very seldom do we go to Reno anymore for
shopping.
A lot of people find the fog depressing, but I like it. Great photo opportunities....I just throw another bag of pellets in the stove and fire up the
hot chocolate with a splash of El Presidente Solara brandy.
I think Pahrump might get a dusting of snow, and it gets cold there in the winter.....also, major shopping is in Las Vegas, about an hour or so
away.........but closer to Baja for you!!!!

Wow, "Dayton Valley"--------great idea. We have NEVER covered the area immediately EAST of Carson City--------GREAT idea. We do go back and forth (N
/ S) to the Owens Valley many times a year thru Carson City as my son lives in Independence, CA. We like small towns with availability to some
shopping (Carson City is perfect) so that is an excellent idea. We will definitely take a look the next time we go over the hill from Redding.
Thanks again.
Barry

Bajajorge if he promises to use a fork and knife instead of his hands

I've lived in Gardnerville (Carson Valley) for a little over 15 years now and really love it here, not a big fan of the extreme cold but you get use
to it. As for The Dayton Valley not one of my favorite places but to each his own, prices have really come down there at one time Lyon county was one
of the fastest growing counties in the Nation.
As for the fog in our area its just not an issue, very very rare and its usually only in the early mornings and burns off within a few hours of
sunrise.
Born and raised in Northern California, moving to Nevada was one of the smartest things Ive ever done and I wouldnt trade it for anyplace...except
Baja but thats when I retire.

Thanks, BajaFreaks---------lower prices are always good, and being off the beaten track has always appealed to us since living in SoCal for 30 years
prior to 45 years ago. Thanks for the testimony. You are right, that Fog situation does not sound that bad.
Just south of Gardnerville, just west of Hyway 395, there is a row of houses on a bluff overlooking the East Fork of the Carson River and the Res.
that has always appealed to us, but we never see any of them up for sale.
Maybe we ALL can get together at the Basque restaurant for dinner some night-------seems to be quite a few NOMADS living in the area. 
We normally stay at THE PLAZA HOTEL in Carson City, just south of the Capitol building-----love that place, and the price is right, and some great
restaurants within walking distance.

Carson? Dayton? Gardnerville? If you like the wind all summer long..... blowin like a freight train EVERY afternoon incessantly ......... I might
think of it being a good place to live.
California has it all...there is no state quite like it climate wise. Of course that is why we have so many people but there ARE places to hide out

Sorry Baron
Wind doesn't blow every day. When it does, it clears out the valley.
If California is so great, why are more people moving out than people moving in?????. I left in 1974, nothing in that state including their givernment
and taxes interests me.
Nevada has it's faults, but nothing as bad as California, and Nevada does not have a personal income tax.

Yep!!!! I am a third-generation Californio, but I have had enough of the anti-business policies. Love the Geography, but the politics & Govt.
(reads taxes) is just off the chart left & dumb, IMO. When you over-tax something, you get less of it.
Time to move on.

Same here with regards to California. Born and raised, but will relocate to another state within the next 2 years. Another year like this year with
rising RE prices and we will sell out. (our Zip 2012 vs 2011 +22%)
Gardnerville and vicinity is on our shortlist too.
