Much Colder Air Arrives In New Mexico

Snow arrived a bit early yesterday. We were expected to have rain during the day, but it turned into snow showers for much of the day.

It was too warm for the snow to last on the ground until the early evening. This morning, I saw about an inch and a half of snow on my garage roof. There was less of it on the ground from what I could see. Still, it is much less than what we got around October 26.

According to KRQE:

A storm is moving across New Mexico today. Expect light snow across parts of northern New Mexico through Friday morning and much colder temperatures.

A storm system is bringing windy weather, colder temperatures, and rain and snow to New Mexico Thursday afternoon. Temperatures are cooling off quickly behind a cold front that is sweeping across the state. Overnight, rain will switch over to snow across western and northern New Mexico as the winds will die down slightly. Snow will develop overnight in the lower elevations of northern New Mexico and the east mountains where light snowfall accumulation is possible. There is a chance for isolated, light snow Friday morning in Albuquerque, but no travel problems are expected.
