Heh, I can recall one NAB show week in April, oh 28 years ago I think.  We 
drove into Vegas, got to our motel & found they had only heat pumps for heat.  
Temps were in the 20's, and they were gonna have to figure out what to do 
with about a foot of snow come morning.  It had the Vegas street dept. plumb 
bumfuzzled & it took what little snow equipment they had about 3 days to 
collect it well enough so the locals could drive again.  Me, driving Cecil's 
old caddy, I had a ball cuz I learned to drive in that stuff & lots worse the 
winter of 1950 in Iowa.  We almost froze though, and you couldn't buy a 
blanket at any dept store in town.

That taught me to never expect warm weather where I'm going regardless of the 
locales reputation.  Pack accordingly.
