Tomorrow will be our respite day from the storms that are hitting the Four Corners region.

The system that came through last night had have been the coldest I've seen since I've lived in New Mexico. The temperature did not get above 28°, which turned the snow on the roads here into ice. The high winds we also had didn't help things.

The icy roads lasted for most of the day and the temperature outside is around 19°.
