Heavy Snow in Sangre De Cristo Mountains, New Mexico

Snow amounts of 1 to 2 feet were common in the high country.

February started off windy and white as a storm over the Pacific Northwest dove southeast on the 3rd and crossed New Mexico on the 4th. A weaker disturbance brought in moisture on the 2nd and produced light snowfall over the northwest mountains. But the bulk of the snow and wind came on the 3rd through the night of the 5th. The higher snowfall totals were over the northwest mountains, while high winds blasted portions of the central mountain chain onto the eastern plains.
