While winters in northern Nevada are long and cold, they’re short and mild in southern Nevada. Keep in mind, southern Nevada does see heavy snow every now and then, but it’s extremely rare.

Many Nevadans dread the winter months, even though they shouldn’t. The following 13 photos prove Nevada is beautiful during its winter months, and this time of year shouldn’t be dreaded.
