Sacramento Mtn's Lack Of Snowfall This Winter.

(Oct 1st, 2024 - February 27, 2025).



This winter so far will go down as one of the least snowy on record for the Sacramento Mountains. The Cloudcroft CoCoRaHS Station, located 0.4 miles east-southeast, has recorded a season total of 29.0" thus far. 

The Cloudcroft National Weather Service Climate Co-Op Station has recorded 22.0". Looking at all of the records available at Cloudcroft (1900 - 2025), this season so far has been the 11th driest as far as snowfall is concerned. Compare this winter season with 1914-1915 when they recorded 180.1" of snowfall. March 1915 saw 56.9" of snowfall, making it the snowiest month of that season. The 1957-1958 winter season comes in as a very close second with 180.0". March 1958 saw 82.0" of snowfall. Normal seasonal snowfall (Oct 1 -Apr 30) for Cloudcroft is 66.7". 

Ski Apache west of Ruidoso has recorded a seasonal total of only 42.3" thus far. Compare this to an average of around 180".

A dry and warm winter (on average) is going to lead into a warmer-than-normal and drier-than-normal spring. At least according to long-range outlooks. Saturday marks the beginning of the meteorological spring (March 1st). Right on cue, our next upper-level winter storm to affect the region will begin doing so by this coming Monday.

For southern, eastern, and southeastern New Mexico, this means our first spring season wind bag of a storm. There is a slight chance for light rain and snow showers over the higher elevations of the Sac's Saturday night. Nothing significant is forecast, however.

What this storm will bring is high winds, blowing dust, and a high fire danger to the local area Sunday into Tuesday. More on this later.
