By Benjamin Spillman, Reno Gazette-Journal
Last year was the wettest on record in Reno and among the warmest.
The 13.73 inches of precipitation at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport during the 2017 calendar year surpassed the prior record of 13.23 in 1983.
The mean average temperature of 56.1 made it the fifth-hottest on record and nearly one degree above the 10-year average.
