Heavy Snow in Sangre De Cristo Mountains, New Mexico

A winter storm dropped heavy snow over the Sangre De Cristo Mountains and the northeast highlands. Snow reports include 6 to 7 inches at Santa Fe, Eagle Nest, Capulin, Cimarron and Springer, 9 inches near Angel Fire and Manuelitas, and 10 inches at Cowles and Mineral Hill.

A potent upper level low moved from northwest to southeast across New Mexico while a cold front backed southwest across the eastern half of the state. Four to eight inches of snow were common across the east central and northeast plains with 8 to 12 inches along parts of the interstate 40 in eastern New Mexico, along the east slopes of the central mountains chain and in the upper Rio Grande Valley and the southeast slopes of the Jemez Mountains.
