Here it is April 19, Holy Saturday, and we are getting snow here in Albuquerque. This is after getting almost no snow all winter and having days in the past week or so in the mid-80s. We are more likely to get a white Easter than a white Christmas, although the snow is not sticking to the ground.

wow..........I am surprised......I see new mexico and think cacti and tumbelweeds

There are plenty of those also but not the big saguaro cacti like they have in Arizona. The central and northern parts of the state do get some snow because of the high altitude. We are at 5,000 to 6,000 feet. Large accumulations of snow are rare here and the snow generally melts by the end of the day because of the high evaporation rate. Santa Fe is 7,000 feet above sea level and gets more snow than we do. The southern part of the state gets little or no snow.
