LOL Yes it gets very cold here at times and You were in Fallon so you know of the very thing I speak.
Most think on Las Vegas and don't know that we are at the base of the High Sierras here in the North and Yes we get Snow and cold some winter worse then others, last winter I had 2 feet of snow for about two months in my front yard, the whole month of Jan it snowed allmost everyday, but thats not normal, but cold is very normal here. Winds get Very Cold coming off the Mountains next to my house, they go up to about 11000 feet and the wind off of them will chill you to the bone.
