I was glad to say goodbye to 2011. It was a year of extremes weather-wise here in southeastern New Mexico. After seeing a very wet summer and fall in 2010, the rain faucet just shut off in Oct, 2010. One of the driest and hottest periods, if not the driest and hottest for some areas, in the states history unfolded from October, 2010 into the summer of 2011. Wildfires, high winds, heat, and a historical drought dominated our spring and early summer headlines.
