A real four-season, Carson Valley-adjacent climate

Dayton sits in the same broader high-desert, mountain-basin climate zone documented for nearby Fernley and Reno elsewhere in this dataset -- real winter cold and snow, hot and dry summers, not a year-round-warm desert-tourism climate.

Distinct from Las Vegas -- and worth confirming locally

As with every market in this dataset's Reno-metro/Sierra Tier B batch, Dayton's climate carries genuine seasonal variation rather than the extreme, near-year-round desert heat of southern Nevada. Confirm current, precise local climate normals directly given this pass's research focus on Dayton's demographic and economic profile rather than a granular climate-station breakdown.
