So after 12 days in Mexico, freezing toes, and glacier travel, I thought it would be nice to do some southern-NM desert peaks because they are warm and dry, even in January.

Yeah. I'm scheduled to climb three peaks in the bootheel of NM and extreme southeast AZ this weekend starting tomorrow. Above is the current radar image for the region. The forecast for Deming, one of the driest cities in the world, calls for snow every day for the next week. Great.
