Not long until spider activity goes into high gear.
It sometimes snows here in the valley, but not enough to ever stick. Mt. Charleston has a ski resort, and if I want to play in the snow, I can go there...it's 17 miles from here.
The wind chill is the big thing here. Because of the configuration of the Valley, wind has a tendency to get "trapped" and can blow for days. Close to the end of that time, people get really stupid and the static electricity makes touching anything an exercise in junior science. "Watch Mr. Wizard" would be a good show, here!
Sometimes, the wind can blow at 40 miles an hour (sustained) and it can be 25 degrees out. You KNOW the wind chill is going to be nasty...around -24. *Br-r-r-r-r!*
