Spring in the Valley
March 12th, 2006
Filed under: General
Contrary to popular belief, Las Vegas does experience four seasons. There is summer, which lasts from late-March through early-September, and is dry and extremely hot. There is winter, which lasts from late-September through early-March. It is dry and not-nearly as hot (and sometimes even cool).
Fall lasts for a week in September. Hard rains, usually with some flooding. Similarly, spring lasts for a single week – the second week of March. Light drizzly rains and cool temperatures every year, like clockwork.
So why does NASCAR choose this week to run the race in Las Vegas? One of the two weeks it’s virtually guaranteed to rain (or snow, as was the case this year)?
