... "Marco Leon" wrote in message ... "Matt Barrow" wrote in message ... Variable. (Old Adage pertaining to weather out west: If you don't like the weather, hang around a few minutes) Is it really? I've always thought NM weather was similar to AZ weather and its abundance of dry VMC. But what do I know as a Northeasterner... It can be 80 degrees and sunny, and a day later, 16" of snow. I should add that NM weather is more like Colorado weather than like Arizona, particularly Santa Fe. I recall several times of golfing one afternoon, then having a blizzard that night dumping 8-12 inches of snow. One in particular was golfing on St. Patty's day. It was mid to upper 70's. About the 16th hole, it started to get cold. By the 18th it had dropped to about the 40's. That night we got something like 12-14 inches of snow. Back about the mid 80's, the company I was working for in Denver had a company golf tournament scheduled in mid-September for a Saturday. The Friday (eight days) before the tournament, we had about 12-14 inches of snow. I have a picture of our patio and a Weber Kettle on the patio buried up past the base of the kettle. A Bruce Springsteen concert at Mile High Stadium was cancelled. By the following Saturday, every last speck of snow was gone, the course was dry, and I came in second of the long drive contest with a 331 yard poke right down the center of the fairway. I got beat by about five yards by a gal who was playing from the women's tees at 440 yards vs. the 550 yards the guys were playing. :~( -- Matt Barrow Performance Homes, LLC Colorado Springs, CO |
