At approximately 6,687 feet elevation, Edgewood's summers run warm and its winters run short, very cold, and snowy -- December's average low runs 25.7°F, and the recorded all-time low is -32°F (February 3, 2011) (base record).
Real, documented, current wildfire risk
Edgewood carries real, current wildfire exposure consistent with New Mexico's documented, worsening 2026 fire season -- the town imposed a May 2026 aerial-fireworks ban tied to active fire restrictions, served directly by Santa Fe County Fire Department (base record).
Real, shared statewide drought exposure
Edgewood shares New Mexico's real, statewide drought exposure, including the record snow drought and warmest November 2025-January 2026 three-month period in at least 131 years of record-keeping that preceded the state's elevated 2026 fire season (base record).
No meaningful hurricane risk; only low statewide earthquake risk
No meaningful hurricane exposure applies given Edgewood's landlocked, inland location, and only low, non-zero earthquake risk applies statewide, with no documented meaningful Edgewood-specific exposure found this pass.
