About New Mexico Winter Weather
New Mexico winter weather varies dramatically across the state. Across the 6 New Mexico cities covered by SnowSense™, average annual snowfall is 12 inches, ranging from 3 inches in Las Cruces to 28 inches in Santa Fe.
School-closure thresholds track the regional snowfall climatology: districts in high-snowfall areas close only for major events, while low-snowfall districts close for smaller events that would be unremarkable elsewhere. New Mexico's district-level autonomy means nearby towns sometimes make different closure calls for the same storm.
