Could you elaborate on Reno's weather? I read the climate section on Reno's Wikipedia page but it's hard to get a good sense of the actual weather.

- cozzyd 11y agoHigh desert next in rain shadow of Sierras, so very dry, very little rain, sometimes snows significantly, but never that cold or hot. Big temperature swing between day and night. Often windy, sometimes ridiculously so. Not exactly climate, but sometimes there's smoke from forest or brush fires (and brush fires are a big problem in summer). Source: grew up in Reno
- TJSomething 11y agoIt doesn't rain often, maybe four days a month. The sky is usually pretty clear. Summers are in the upper 80s. Winters are in the 30s. The growing season is from late May to late September because there are random cold snaps during the spring and fall. It's really dry, so you might get nosebleeds on visiting, but you can get used to it in a few days. The winds can be crazy: it can get up to 70 MPH every couple years, but 30 MPH happens relatively often. We haven't had a good snow in a few years, because of the drought in California.
