Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeFreezing fog developed across much of the eastern plains of New Mexico during the early morning hours of the 11th. Fog continued through much of the day as temperatures struggled to reach the freezing mark behind an arctic front. Areas from Las Vegas to Clines Corners reported visibilities down to one quarter mile or less. Farther east, near Tucumcari, the fog was not as dense. However, the fog resulted in a coating of ice on Interstate 40 that caused an animal rescue volunteer to lose control of the pickup she was driving, which slid into oncoming traffic. The female driver and an 8-week old puppy died in the crash.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeVisibility bounced between two and four miles at Clayton, though briefly dropped as low as one quarter mile.
