The average annual snowfall varies about as much as it possibly can. In the extreme southern tip of the state in Vegas, snow is rare below 4000 feet (Vegas is at 2000-3000 feet and snow happens probably every other year in small amounts. In Laughlin, even less where snow is VERY VERY rare. Then as you head north and west, the annual snowfall increases but varies dramatically by elevation and (Nevada is a mountain-valley state). The mountain ranges in the central part of the state above 6000 feet get 30-70 inches per year, while the valleys between 4000 and 6000 feet get between 10 and 50 inches annually. Reno gets about 22 inches annually at its lowest part of the valley on the east side, but as much as 35-60 inches in the western foothills of the city. 2 miles could make a huge difference. The Nevada side of Lake Tahoe (not in the basin rain shadow of greater Nevada) gets about 85 inches annually on the beach at 6200 feet, but as much as 250 or more inches annually in places above 8000 feet like Mt. Rose.
So essentially some places get no snow at all, other parts of Nevada are among the snowiest in the entire country.
