Reno or anywhere in Nevada Anyone?

I'm not familiar with Reno, but I've been to Vegas and I doubt that it's much different, weatherwise. You won't get all four seasons there, at least not like we experience them in the Northeast. Vegas in January is about 60 degrees versus Philly in January at about 35. Other than that, I'm not much help as I've never been to Reno.

Reno is a higher elevation than Vegas, so you'll have greater fluctuations in seasonal weather there.

according to weather.com, here are the averages

I also found a good article on Reno from which I will extract the quote: "Oh yes, and Reno experiences real seasons, including subzero temperatures and significant snowfall."

reno is really close to lake tahoe, so you'll love it if you ski/snowboard! i've been to south lake tahoe- it's absolutely gorgeous. reno is a little north and east of the lake. you will DEFINITELY experience all four seasons. when i've been to tahoe, the snow has been up to my waist at least!

i have a good friend who is moving to reno this fall (he got a job at the university of nevada). i already have plans to go up there in the winter so i'll know more about reno in a few months!

Here's a website that might be helpful to you:

www.helloreno.com

It has a lot of information, including weather stats (which, imo, still doesn't look like Northeast seasons which is what I associate with four seasons). Looks like some fluctuation, but still pretty temperate, although not as temperate as SoCal. So if you're used to SoCal weather, then this probably will feel like all four seasons to you. It does look like a nice place to live.
