[SPF2245]

Paul F - I grew up in Petaluma...I can say, how Santa Rosa/Rodent Park/Petaluma have changed over the years. I thought highly of the area until it became "Northern Mexico"...hehehe but I will say the northbay still has the best weather in the US. If they could only fix the problems, I'd have stayed. My parents moved from Chi-town to Marin and now I've come full circle(petaluma, nevada and now indiana)...but still looking for the "ideal" home, if it exsists.

Excaliber - it doesn't snow much in reno, they get one dump of 8-12 inches per year...thats it and it tends to melt quickly. If you like green grass, trees and mountains not covered in sagebrush...I'd look just south of Reno, but thats just me...atleast WSCB is located close and the track at Fernley is not too bad either.
