It looks like the storm that's coming to New Mexico tonight/tomorrow will be a "severe" one. I'm glad I did my grocery shopping today instead of driving in it tomorrow.
At least that's what AOL News is reporting.
They wrote:
New Mexico residents should probably ring in the new year close to home, as the state braces for a snowstorm expected to impact travel conditions.
The National Weather Service on Thursday put a winter storm warning in effect from 6 a.m. local time Friday to noon local time on New Year’s Day, affecting the mountains.
Pointing to forecasted “heavy snow and blowing snow,” the notice warned: “These hazardous conditions will impact the holiday travel period.”
The weather service warned of 8 to 12 inches of snow in certain areas — and above 9,000 feet, anywhere from 12 to 20 inches — as well as wind gusts reaching up to 40 mph and resulting in “areas of reduced visibilities in blowing and drifting snow.”
It will be interesting to see how many inches of snow we get from this storm. I'm at 7,000 feet.
