episode_narrativeA pair of upper level troughs moved across northern New Mexico on the 1st and 2nd. Though the first one brought some precipitation, much of the snow fell with the second system. A localized band of heavy snow stretched from near Farmington toward Dulce, dropping as much as 6 inches across the region. Heavy snow was also reported across the east slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains as a back door cold front backed up to the range. As much as 10 inches fell across this region. Strong winds caused a lot of blowing and drifting snow which made visibilities fall below 2 miles at times. Farther south, while there was little or no precipitation, winds were still a problem. Though, the strongest winds occurred on the 1st, winds on the 2nd were just as brutal due to the colder air moving into the area.
event_narrativeA grass fire closed Interstate 40 between mile markers 291 and 292 for a short time. The grass fire was only approximately five acres, but burned four outbuildings.
