Before ’Land of Enchantment’ became the official State description, New Mexico was known as ’The Sunshine State’ because it receives well above the average national levels of sunshine each year. But with a State as large and varied as New Mexico, the climate differs considerably from one place to the next. In villages and cities such as Angel Fire and Las Vegas, which are 1.5km (1 mile) above sea level, temperatures above 37.7°C (100°F) are not uncommon. In winter, snow falling in the lowlands frequently melts by midday, but ski areas maintain good bases from late November into mid-April.
