NO SOONER DO WE BEGIN AUTUMN IN NEW MEXICO AND WE’RE HEARING ABOUT SOME NORTHERN NEW MEXICO COMMUNITIES BREAKING THEIR “FIRST FREEZE” RECORD. ONE SUCH PLACE IS FARMINGTON, WHERE THEY BROKE THE RECORD JUST THIS PAST SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 24TH.
IT’S NOT UNUSUAL FOR NORTHERN NEW MEXICO TO FREEZE EARLIER THAN THE REST OF THE STATE … AND SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO TYPICALLY FREEZES LAST. KOB TV REPORTS AREAS LIKE RED RIVER AND EAGLE NEXT CAN GET THEIR FIRST FREEZE IN LATE JULY.
