To All Inquiring About Moving To Pahrump
Unless you love an extreme climate -- cold in the winter, hot in the summer, and *extremely windy* 80% of the time, averaged out over a whole year, *don't move here.* You will be sadly disappointed.
I am going on four years here. I have hated every minute of it, mostly due to the extreme climate -- cold or hot, and very windy, with *flying dust everywhere* almost all of the time.
Pahrump gets about eight weeks of nice weather out of the whole year -- four weeks or so in the spring, and four weeks or so in the autumn. The other 44 weeks or so out of the year are awful. Windy. Repeat after me, *windy*. Don't move here unless you *love* high wind and flying dust.
I am applying for jobs all over the country, except for southern Nevada, because I *can't wait to leave this Hell on Earth that is Pahrump.*
And don't post replies chastising me as being a miserable, unhappy human being or something else along those lines. Quite the contrary, I'm a happy-go-lucky guy. I'm just saying that I should have completed much more due diligence on Pahrump than I did before moving here. Before you move here, I implore you to perform complete due diligence on Pahrump's climate, job market, housing market, public schools, etc. -- whatever facets of life are important to you. You'll be thankful that you did.

I just do not understand why you live in Pahrump when Vegas is an hour away.

Welcome to life in the Mojave... If you didn't want to live in the desert, why did you move here?
