NEW MEXICO’S WARMER-THAN-NORMAL WINTER CONTINUED IN FEBRUARY. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAYS TEMPERATURES LAST MONTH WERE THREE AND-A-HALF DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE…MAKING IT THE 18TH WARMEST FEBRUARY EVER IN NEW MEXICO.
THE WINTER HAS ALSO BEEN DRY, MEANING VERY LITTLE SNOWPACK HAS ACCUMULATED IN THE MOUNTAINS. BUT FORECASTERS SAY THE CHANCES FOR RAIN AND SNOW WILL BE ON THE INCREASE BY LATE IN THE WEEKEND.
