Analysis of Las Vegas Weather Lore
Wind hits the valley floor
Caliches hit the roof
Las Vegas weather lore
is a gusty spoof
Cold hits the valley floor
Icicles hit the roof
Las Vegas weather lore
is a frosty goof
Heat hits the valley floor
Desiccants hit the roof
Las Vegas weather lore
is a thirsty spoof
Rain hits the valley floor
Inundates hit the roof
Las Vegas weather lore
is a squelchy goof
