You can pick towns at lower elevations in the south that receive as little as 2-4 inches of snowfall per year on average. Summers are not that humid in New Mexico compared to the eastern part of the nation. Generally, humidity is lower west of the central mountain chain. The lower elevations of the southeast can get a bit humid at times, along with temps >100...but it's nothing compared to the summer humidity of the eastern U.S. (especially southeast U.S.)
I recommend you go to this link (below) and start clicking on the red dots and just "fishing through the data" to see what you can find.

If i'm correct we had 1 day of snow this past winter . I'm like you Weroses as i HATE snow as that's whyi live south and not north.
As for the humidity it averages about 10% for most of the year except for the summer monsoon season which brings afternoon thunderstorms that cool off the desert and brings much needed moisture. |

Interesting statistics. Las Cruces averages 0.1 inches of snow in August! Must be some bad data.

Interesting "find," domino. I looked at this a little bit, and notice the weather station (at NMSU) reported 2.2 inches of snowfall in August 1952. So...that got averaged into a bunch of zeroes, and a bunch of missing data, and came out as an average of 0.1. Historically, hail was reported as snowfall, so they probably had a whopper of a hailstorm on one August day in 1952.

That makes sense. My first encounter with hail was at White Sands in the Summer of 1968. I believe it was about 110 degrees that day....
