| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A major winter storm brought snow to most of New Mexico with 3 to 6 inches of snow common at valley locations in the local area and significantly heavier amounts in the mountains. 1280 motorests were stranded in Truth or Consequences as Interstate 25 was closed for most of the distance between Las Cruces and a point about 30 miles north of Socorro. Interstate 10 was also closed between El Paso, Texas and the Arizona border. Several other state or U.S. highways were either closed due to the storm or partially blocked due to traffic accidents. As a result of these road closures, an estimated 400 people were forced stay overnight in the Pan American Center on the Campus of New Mexico State University after a concert. |
