| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A slow moving winter storm feed by tropical moisture produced a record snow of 32 inches at Sandia Crest in central New Mexico and dumped heavy wet snow from the west central mountains northeastward into the Sangre de Cristo Mountains northwest of Las Vegas. Pietown measured 12 inches in the west while Gascon reported 24 inches in western Mora County. Outside these isolated areas snow amounts averaged 8 inches. The heavy wet snow downed trees and utility lines in the east mountain communities of eastern Bernalillo County causing power and phone outages affecting over 2000 customers for 24 to 48 hours. Power outages and light shed damage were also reported in Mora County. Interstate 40 was closed at Tijeras for 6 hours. Rural roads in the heavy snow areas became muddy messes that once again taxed county road crews. |
