Weather in Reno during the conference is usually cool and dry with no snow on the ground. Soil is usually dry on top with moisture underneath, but usually not enough to be muddy. Average highs are about 53°F, average lows are in the 20s, with low to moderate relative humidity. During the past ten years, there has been almost no precipitation on Feb. 4. Reno is typically dry because it’s in the rain shadow of the Sierra Nevada range—all the great snow at Tahoe is there because it never makes it to Reno.

Reno is high desert at 4,500' elevation. Ground vegetation is sparse, trees are desert species such as piñon and juniper, and bare soil is visible in most areas even in natural conditions. Soils can be muddy yet are seldom wet enough to be muddy.

Following is a summary of the weather on February 4 for the past ten years from 2003 back through 1994.
