I suspect Vegas is warmer than the east coast almost in any year in Winter. We have had very mild Winters for the past three or so years. I have only fired up the snowblower once a year to make sure it is prepped and ready to use but have not used it at all in about four years. This year is already showing signs of being colder than recent years. Old Timers are saying they think its going to be "a cold and snowy one." The Farmers Almanac apparently (third party) is statingthat the el Nino this year will come from the North and not the South as it has in previous years so look out! I would place my bets on a colder Winter at least when compared to the past few years.

And if it is especially snowy or icy....a slow real estate sales Winter as well.
