An Inch of New Snow

The National Weather Service said we'd get about an inch or two of snow overnight and into today and that is what I seeing in the yard.

It is more like an inch of new snow added to what's already on the ground from last weekend.

...WINTER WEATHER RETURNS WITH POTENTIAL FOR TRAVEL IMPACTS
TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

A fast moving winter weather system has brought brisk winds and
snow into the northwestern quadrant of the state tonight. Snow
accumulations will be light with an inch or two favoring west
facing slopes of the western and northern high terrain. Difficult
driving conditions will be present where any snow showers produce
sudden drops in visibility.

Winter conditions will shift focus to eastern New Mexico Thursday
again with light snow accumulations, except a few inches favoring
the southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Sudden drops in
visibility from snow showers will again be present producing
difficult driving through the I-25 and I-40 corridors of
northeastern NM during the day Thursday.

Monitor NOAA weather radio, weather.gov/abq or your local media
for the latest weather updates. Anyone planning travel across
northern and central New Mexico should be prepared to encounter
scattered winter weather conditions. For the latest New Mexico
road conditions visit nmroads.com or call 511.
