Unpredictable

Do not fool yourself and think you can predict Reno weather. You CANNOT. There is an old saying in Reno that 'if you don't like the weather wait five minutes' which is very, very true. Usually we have hot summers, cold and snowy winters and sometimes if we are lucky we get spring and fall. Just be prepared for anything to happen.
