Where Should we Ring in the New Year?

We didn't expect to have a choice as to where to spend New Year's Eve, but we did. The original plan was to remain at the cabin and to ring in the New Year with the town of Markleeville and all it's 200-300 residents or, more likely, by the comfort of the warm fire in the cabin, just the four of us.
Then, news came of another storm approaching. It would arrive during the night of the first day of the New Year and bring steady snow throughout Saturday in the mountains, and rain in the Bay Area. As much as we wanted to stay, we didn't look forward to hauling all our stuff out of the cabin, through a half foot of fresh snow. Packing and unpacking in the snow and rain was not the way we wanted to celebrate the New Year. So, we took our time today, getting our last look at blue skies and trees covered in beautiful, white snow. It was hard to leave knowing that the kind of rest we get at the cabin is hard to come by at home. And the scenery in our little piece of the Sierra Nevada? Unbeatable!
It was a smooth ride home with no delays except for a little traffic heading into the city on the Golden Gate Bridge. Looking at all those cars coming in to celebrate the New Year in the city, we tried to remember the last time we partied on New Year's Eve. We couldn't remember...
