We're all nature's bitches...

I love it when the National Weather Service sums up New Mexico weather so nicely:

A LINE OF STRONG WINDS AND THUNDERSTORMS STRETCHING FROM MORIARTY NORTH TO SANTA FE... ESPANOLA... AND EMBUDO WILL MOVE NORTHEAST AT 20 MPH THROUGH 300 PM. EXPECT A SUDDEN WIND SHIFT TO THE WEST AT 30 TO 40 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH. THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTAIN RAIN... SNOW... SNOW PELLETS... AND SMALL HAIL. VISIBILITIES MAY BE REDUCED BELOW ONE HALF MILE AT TIMES IN PRECIPITATION AND BLOWING DUST. THIS AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE EAST INTO THE SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS AND PRODUCE VERY HEAVY SNOW WITH NEAR ZERO VISIBILITIES IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN.
Let me repeat that in case you missed it: wind gusts up to 50 mph and thunderstorms with rain, snow, snow pellets, hail, blowing dust, very heavy snow, near zero visibility. I've been glancing out my window for the past ten minutes (since the thunder and lightning started) trying to tell exactly which form of precipitation is predominant and I can't even guess.
