Hello all!  Checking in from north of Natomas in Plumas Lake!  Up until 2004, I have spent most of my life in the Antelope/Roseville area.  My wife and I moved to Plumas Lake for the cheaper home prices and the rural setting.  However, my roots will forever be in Sac-town.

I spend most of my time at work in Roseville these days, but I have taken some time out to create a weather website for my neighbors in Plumas Lake.  You can find the link to this site in my signature below.

One of the things I do for my community is to help keep members of our local forum (http://plumaslakelife.com) advised of the weather.  I update the forums when weather warnings, advisories and other statements are broadcast by the National Weather Service to keep the public informed of potential situations that could affect life and property.  I do this to help people stay informed, as many people don't keep up with these alerts on their own.

I'll occasionally add these weather alerts to this forum as well.  Not everybody will find this information of interest, but if you do, I hope this information helps you plan your day.

Anyways, I'm happy to have found this place.  Thanks for having me around.   Smiley

Welcome to the site & I'm glad you found us & thanks for the weather updates Smiley

How do you like Plumas Lake? Is it difficult to find the same level of convenience as in Roseville/Antelope? How's the commute?

Plumas Lake is everything I expected it to be, except for the lake!  j/k

I enjoy my homeownership here.  The community is tight-knit, and the rural setting is nice.  Since PL is a relatively new community, commercial and retail is everything but existant.  We still have to drive into Marysville for our groceries and the closest fuel station is either in Linda or Wheatland.  However, the state will be adding a new interchange on CA-70 which will result in retail coming to the area.  I don't mind being several miles away from everything, but a grocery store and fuel station is highly anticipated by most PL residents.

As mentioned above, I work in Roseville, and I choose the back roads through the rice fields of Sutter County to get there.  It's a 35 minute commute both ways for me on this route.  Not too bad!

Anyways, I see you stopped by the PL forums.  Nice to have you there as well.

I did join & the reason I ask is that we went up and looked at some model homes the other weekend. It was cut short because of the heat and it was a bit much for our newborn. Plus some places were closed a day or two before the holiday weekend. The prices are decent, but as they say, location, location, location. My current commute is 3.5mi & I can go home for lunch. Giving that up would be hard, but having a nicer, newer house would be great. Another huge drawback is that everything is so convenient here. Not having easy access to what we're used to would be another extremely hard adjustment. We'll see though...

Is there anything else that non-residents wouldn't know about that would be a major attraction?
