I am new to the area of Lordsburg,New Mexico I moved here in the early spring. Does Lordsburg,New Mexico get snow? If it does snow is it usually a small amount?

Scroll down about a third of the way for weather. Looks like 3-4 inches a year.

Wow, I'm surprised it gets that much. I went to school in Tucson for a couple years, and just returned to ABQ, but last winter the city had its first snow that actually stuck since something like 1988. Wasn't much, but everyone was out at midnight on a weeknight building small snowmen, making snow angels, etc. I got some good pictures the next day of palm trees and saguaros covered with snow, quite a sight for southern AZ.

The lowest point in New Mexico is Red Bluff Reservoir at 2842 feet.
This is near the TX border on the Pecos.
