Those same folks also know that those pleasant stretches of weather often come to an end with dramatic storm systems that wreak havoc on travel and serve as a stark reminder of the power of Mother Nature. 2019 was another dramatic year for weather across the Land of Enchantment with several powerful storm systems producing heavy snow, severe winds, tornadoes, and large hail.
