The New Mexico Plan

[pamela]

3. Thanks for the welcome!

I love green chile in everything.

I think we are going to head north soon. I wasn't sure if it was too early. It's already much colder here than it was in Texas but I think we're just hitting a weird weather pattern this week. We mostly use the weather as our travel guide. I thought about trying to head over towards Deming for a little bit this Spring but I think we'll wait until we come back this Fall. It sounds like it will be too warm soon plus I can't see a good route over that way without taking the motorhome through mountains and we're not ready for that. (Not because of the altitude but because of driving the motorhome.)

I appreciate that advice. That's exactly the kind of thing we need to know. I plug a bunch of towns into my weather ap and try to make decisions from that but it really helps to hear from people who have lived here for a while. We definitely try to avoid extreme temps. We have heat and A/C but it's only effective up to a point.

Are there any weather dangers I need to be watching for? Any areas prone to tornadoes or wildfires, for example? We need to head back to Maryland sometime soon to get our stuff out of storage and plan to wait to cross the country until after tornado season has passed but it dawned on me that I never really checked to see if I needed to worry about that here, too.

I usually do okay in high altitudes, in fact, I kind of feel even better there for some reason but it hits my husband hard. That's good advice about acclimating ourselves to it. Thanks again!
