It's no secret that Nevada summers are pretty harsh. I mean, we are a desert after all. But what about winters? Well, you might want to think about avoiding Nevada during winter time too. In fact, if you decide to visit during the winter months you're bound to be disappointed. If you've been considering making a Nevada vacation before winter is officially over, you might want to reconsider. Check out these reasons why Nevada winters are actually the worst.
1. Nevada is just downright ugly during winter.
Seriously. This landscape is a huge eyesore. You definitely wouldn't want to be surrounded by scenery like this.
2. There's nothing to do during winter.
You have to wait until spring or summer to explore our great outdoors. It's just not do-able during winter.
3. The weather is just awful.
You'll definitely want to stay indoors to escape the gross weather. There's nothing worse than a clear, sunny, 65-degree day.
4. You don't even have to wear a jacket!
Doesn't winter weather mean you have to bundle up in multiple coats and scarves to stay warm? Here in Nevada you don't even need a jacket. What are you going to do with all that time you saved by dressing in just pants and a t-shirt?
5. There's way too much sunshine.
It's true. It's way too sunny in Nevada during winter. You'll have to get your fix of gloomy and cloudy days elsewhere.
6. There's no way to exercise.
It's a wonder how Nevadans are able to stay fit during winter because there is simply no way of keeping yourself in shape. Exercising in winter just doesn't feel right.
7. I hope you enjoy seeing wildlife because there's unfortunately a lot of it during winter.
You might've been hoping that all the wildlife was asleep for winter, but that's simply not the case. Sorry.
8. You can't have a "typical" winter experience here.
If you're looking for a quintessential winter, you're out of luck. You'll have to visit a state like Nebraska if you want to indulge in classic winter activities.
9. It doesn't snow in the desert.
Therefore, it doesn't snow in Nevada. Ever. It's something Nevadans have just learned to live without.
