Winter snows occurs mainly in frequent light falls as early as September <br />or as late as May. A good snow cover will remain on the ground for several weeks <br />during the coldest months. <br />There are no significant factors which would affect or be affected by the mining <br />operation. <br />CLIMATE REPORT <br />NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO <br />812 AM MST THU JAN 1 2009 <br />...THE ALAMOSA CO CLIMATE SUMMARY FOR THE YEAR OF 2008... <br />CLIMATE NORMAL PERIOD 1971 TO 2000 <br />CLIMATE RECORD PERIOD 1932 TO 2008 <br />WEATHER OBSERVED NORMAL DEPART <br />VALUE DATE(S) VALUE FROM <br />NORMAL <br />............... <br />TEMPERATURE (F) <br />RECORD <br />HIGH <br />96 <br />07/05/1989 <br />LOW <br />-50 <br />01/28/1948 <br />HIGHEST <br />90 <br />07/31 <br />LOWEST <br />-32 <br />01/17 <br />AVG.
