Verdi....adjacent to Reno. Used to have a place in Truckee, CA which is just up the road from where I am now. Not nearly the snow to contend with off the mountain.
Ah. What is the diff. between Verdi and Alaska in the winter other than more daylight?
Warmer, snow melts in a short time, warmth in the sun, sun's not so much in your eyes, can drive in a days time to much warmer weather.
