Wintry Weather Hitting New Mexico

Above, this is what I'll likely see when I get home. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

Just as expected, snow has fallen in Jamestown, New Mexico over the past 24 hours.

A couple of friends told me that the white stuff was falling and one even sent photos.

In the article below, I highlighted the portion I have to travel tomorrow (uh, maybe).

According to the Albuquerque Journal:

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — More wintry weather is on the way for parts of New Mexico over the weekend. 

Portions of the Albuquerque metro area could receive up to an inch of snow by Saturday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. 

Areas in the northern mountains, including Taos and Chama, are expected to receive between 8 inches and a foot of snow. Las Vegas may receive up to 4 inches of snow, while up to 2 inches may fall in Santa Fe. 

Snow showers were expected to fall across western and central New Mexico Friday night into Saturday, with rain mixing with snow in the Albuquerque metro and other parts of the Middle Rio Grande Valley. The higher snow totals in the metro are expected in the Sandia and Manzano mountain ranges. 

Travel may be difficult at times along Interstate 25 from Santa Fe through Raton Pass, Interstate 40 between Gallup and Grants and from Tijeras Pass through Edgewood, U.S. 285 from Santa Fe through Española and U.S. 550 from Cuba to Aztec.
