| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The second in the series of storm systems dumped heavy snow two days after storm #1. This system was characterized by very strong lift in a deformation zone northeast of the center of upper level low pressure. The actual passage of the upper low was relatively quiet with only some flurries in the mountains as the lift stayed ahead of the upper low to the northeast.At Pine Springs, Guadalupe Mountains National Park rangers reported accumulations of 6 inches from the storm. Highway Department workers were able to keep U.S. Highway 62/180 open through the event. |
