Hello, Wisdom Seeker! :) What's Sacramento like? Well...
Hmmm, thank you.I appreciate you going to the trouble.

I live in the Antelope Valley which is located in the westernmost part of the Mohave Desert, and is approximately 3,000 sq. miles in size. We are part of Los Angeles County. L.A. county had a pop. of 9,637,494 people as of 2001. The city in which I live has a little over 127,000 people currently. And is only one of several such sized cities in the valley.

Our elivation is 2,600 feet above sea level. Average annual rainfall is 8 inches per year, annual snowfall is 4 4 inches per year. Quite a lot more arid than your area.

The average winter temperature is 36 degrees F. and summer temperature is 105 degrees F.

Palmdale is the "Aerospace Capital of the World"

Because of the desert winds, there is relatively no polution here. I've gotten very used to the blue skies.

I stumbled upon the San Joaquin Valley when doing a search on the Antelope Valley. You are just northwest of us on the other side of the Tehachapi Mountains. I have been to Tehachapi. Great apple orchards there.

So do you mind my asking? What makes you call it the valley? Seriously...what's there? I could do a search, but it's more interesting to read what people that actually live there think.

Cows and farms, that about sums it up, The SJV gets the worst air cause its a bowl and the bad air from Northern Cali and Sothern Cali sit right on top of it, but.......you can see sooo many stars at night. Where I am from the cows/farm animals out number the humans, they could take over it they mouted a full on attack.

Hi, I live in the Sacramento Valley. West of the Capitol, Sacramento.

Woodland, Ca. (agriculture) about 20 mins. from
Sacramento separated by the Sacramento river.

San Francisco and anything north of there is called
Northern Calif. But we have mountains to the east
of here and Redwoods to the North, we call ourselves
flatlanders, not Northerners. (trivia)

Hey, Daroline! :) I posted earlier in this thread. I'm just a hop, skip, and jump down the road in Sacramento. Love that opera house you have there in Woodland! I have a friend who's been in a number of performances there.

I'm sorry. You're right...I am a bad friend...I should have said something. Yeah...that would have been neat.

I have a question for Calfornians...going to post in on another thread. It's something that I've been noticing a lot that kind of bugs me. Hope you'll all take a look and post your comments if you have any.

So's my wife... well actually she's a Canadian, moved to Dublin in 96 or 97 though.

I stayed in the HoJo's off of Heggenberger in Oakland for a couple months while my ship was in dry dock. Other than that, only reason I ever ventured to East Bay was for work or to spend some time in JL Square.

Anyone from San Diego around? Lived there for a couple years... loved every second of it, I'd move back in a heart beat if I could find work down there.
