In case you haven’t heard about it, the Senate is having a “denier bashing fest” while they bask in the warmth provided by steam from the coal-fired Capitol Power Plant.
If Jim Hansen and Senator Tim Wirth can turn up the heat (like he did in a Senate hearing in 1988 by turning off the A/C in summer), you’d think these clowns would have the good sense to turn off the fossil fueled heat while they tell everyone how wrong it is to use fossil fuels.

Senate Democrats’ donor-friendly global warming show
On Monday night into Tuesday morning, two dozen Senate Democrats — members of the party’s newly-formed Climate Action Task Force — plan to hold an all-night, filibuster-like talkathon on the issue of global warming. “Congress must act,” Hawaii Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz, a leader of the group, said in a statement. “On Monday night we’re going to show the growing number of senators who are committed to working together to confront climate change.”

By your link New Mexico appears to be under average,
Colorado appears to be above average.
Not my data, this was Bill Parson’s data in support of his assertion:
“Bill Parsons says:

Took a look – happened to catch the NM representative.
Curious how New Mexico’s Heinrich dwells at such length on snowfall and snowpack, comparing 2010 to this winter. Snow water Equivalent is up in 2014 between 20 – 30 % above the mean in nearly every NM drainage.”
However the data he cited doesn’t support his position as I pointed out and you apparently agree.
@Phil. 3/12 at 10:08 am
I agree on the specific that New Mexico might be short 15-30% on cumulative precipitation (snow fall water content) for the season.
However, the Senator’s remarks were in the context of dangerous climate change. So going by the same data set, but for Colorado, you can only conclude that Colorado is having a year that is 10 to 40% above average. If climate change is the cause of this years! NM low snow, it must also be the cause of Colorado’s good year. That or climate change is the cause of neither.
So Senator Udall from New Mexico is engaging in excessive parochialism, fallacy a dicto secundum quid ad dictum simpliciter (inappropriate argument from the particular to the general) to support a political cause.
