Snow: Looks Like The Forecast Was Right

A few minutes ago, I braved the cold temperature outside to snap a few photos of the morning's snow.

It is about 30° outside when I stepped out.

According to KOAT:

The last winter storm of the year is expected to bring several inches of snow to parts of New Mexico.

The southern part of the state is already seeing snow and rain Friday, with a few inches in Cloudcroft and Ski Apache.

Winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories are already in effect for the southern high terrain. Those will expire by 5 p.m. Saturday.

Western and northern New Mexico will see winter storm warnings in effect from noon Friday until the same time Saturday.

Winter storm warnings will be in effect from 6 p.m. Friday to noon Saturday from Santa Fe eastwards.

Expected snow totals below:

Taos should get 6-12"

• Gallup: 4-6"
• Grants: 3-4"
• Las Vegas: 1-3"
• Santa Fe expecting up to 4" of snow below 7,000' and 5-8" above 7,000'
• Sandia & Manzano mountains: 8-12"
• Northern mountains: 12-20" above 9,000'
• Sacramento mountains: 8-14"
• Gila & Black Range: 6-12"

From what I see outside, it looks like the 4-6" Gallup snow total is accurate. It is still snowing.

I guess I have some snow shoveling to do today before the snow turns to ice.
