A shared Reno/Sparks/Sun Valley climate identity

Spanish Springs sits within the same Washoe County/Truckee Meadows-adjacent climate zone documented in full for Reno and Sparks elsewhere in this dataset -- a genuine four-season, high-desert profile with real winter cold, sharply distinct from Las Vegas's extreme, near-year-round desert heat.

Consistent with this dataset's broader Nevada mountain-basin framing

As with every market in this dataset's Reno-metro/Sierra Tier B batch, Spanish Springs' climate reinforces the mountain-basin four-season framing used throughout this dataset's Nevada records, rather than a desert-tourism climate.
