Roseville, Calif. – The iconic wintertime wonderland, Placer County, a 1,400-square-mile destination in Northern California, has plenty to offer all visitors.

With cool temperatures, beautiful white-capped scenery and plenty of snow activities, there’s no lack of opportunities to explore the powdery snowscape. From sledding, snowshoeing, ice skating, skiing, snowmobiling and offroading, travelers can have a fun winter vacation with an unforgettable experience. Charming bed and breakfast lodging, indulgent resorts, classic cabins and adventure campgrounds offer an array of stays while experiencing the area. Après ski, visitors can snuggle up with cozy cocktails or decompress in the crisp cool air to unwind after a day on the slopes.

Uniquely situated along Interstate 80, Placer County attractions are only 20 minutes away from the major freeway at any point, making it an ideal destination for travelers from the Bay Area, Sacramento, Reno, Lake Tahoe and other nearby regions. Source: Roseville Today

    California really has the best of all worlds when it comes to weather. It’s a state I would love to visit. Two of my grown kids have been and they just loved it!

  4. Cathy Kennedy says:

    Sandee,

    I do love beautiful wintry landscapes in photographs but I don’t want to live in a place where it looks like this mostly throughout the colder months. 🙂 Very gorgeous scene, though!

    Suzana says:

    A very beautiful ‘painting’ with white. I have no idea why, but in my mind California was an warm country! Shame on me! 😊
    Happy WW, Sandee! A pleasant week ahead!

      We’ve not gone to the snow in a few years. Need to fix that. With Covid we don’t get out much. Happy WW. 🙂

  7. Sandra Hangey says:

    i agree it is gorgeous. I would love to visit this place when the snow is melted and gone and cool not cold temps. It sounds wonderful for those that are close enough to visit for a week end or a few days.

  8. foguth – Though Jeanne began her career technical writing, her love of romantic-suspense, whether it be present, future or in an unknown galaxy inspired her to write the novels she wanted to find in bookstores. Since marrying, Jeanne and her husband have lived from the arctic to the tropics, as well as from yacht to off-grid mountain home. She loves using vivid colors and flowing shapes in her oil paintings as well as creating edible landscapes. At present, she is finishing writing the Chatterre Trilogy and working on a new episode for The Sea Purrtector Files. You can always find out what she is working on and/or contact her at: www.jeannefoguth.com.
    foguth says:

    Ohhhhh, that looks beautiful! Sort of like the inside of the freezer when it needs to be defrosted… is it that cold? We don’t get snow in this part of Florida, but I’m sure it must be more fun than defrosting the freezer. BTW, I’m filling in for Ms. Purrseidon today… she hasn’t been herself since Ms Saphera went away.

  9. Deborah – South San Francisco, CA – I am a Wise Woman who has been on a spiritual journey for many years. My wisdom was not gained through a higher education but through the University Of Life and all the insight, knowledge gained through the pain of trials and tribulations on the path of weeping to healing. Though I have come a long way, I am not done yet! I still have much wisdom to gain, more growth through pain, and the beauty of spirit that come by continual shedding of the old to receive the new! Sweet Blessings!

    I’m pretty sure most people don’t get a mental picture of snow capped mountains when they think of California. Just an example of how diverse the climate is in the Golden State.

    A word of warning. Visit before you hit Reno or you may not have gas money to get back.

  15. The OP Pack says:

    What a beautiful scene!!! Wish we were there. We had beautiful snow all through our yard a few days ago but with two days of temps in the forties and fifties, it is mostly gone. Now the bitter cold is back.

    As snowed down as can be.

    Love this stunning winter wonderland.
    It’s been a very harsh winter this year and we are still reeling under a cold wave here ever since the year started. I miss the ample doses of sunshine, as all we see these days are clouds, fog and frosty days.

    But I’m not going to complain and say how thankful I am for a warm, cosy home and hot water baths and piping hot food. :-))

    Warm hugs and loads of love Sandee dearest. <3
