Winter Guide
Winter in Sacramento
When the winter winds swirl and the sun darkens, our inclination is to retreat. But we say charge into the season instead and see it as a chance for renewal and fun. Shift away from those practical concerns (such as keeping warm) and embrace the new season and all the fun that is available.
We can help, with our Winter Guide 2002. Take heart in the seasonal weather. It can’t be as bad as those winters of old in Sacramento, and, even if it were, there’s plenty to do in the snow and in your kitchen. Check out our guide and don’t even think about hibernating.
