That's also how we refer to rain between May and the monsoons. I think it's a new mexican thing - learned it from some colleagues with fam here since the 16th century.
A week before turkey day we were digging into a foot in our driveway and over three feet at our local ski hill (yay Pajarito Mountain!). It's been crickets since on the snow front, and the 10-day is Severe Clear. Probably going to be a white christmas only in the shade on the north side of the house.
