Nov 7-8 2024 Snow Storm!

[dmw56]

We had a 2 day snow storm in New Mexico Nov 7-8. It was wet heavy snow and we lost a lot of branches on the trees. 12"-24" of snow.
I -40 and I-25 were closed in areas with truckers and motorists stranded for hours.

A few years back, my wife and I were trying to get to Edgewood from Amarillo. We ended up staying in a campground in Amarillo, due to another unusual snowstorm.

Being from MN, the snow wasn't a big deal to us - it was the other drivers that made us decide to stop. They would either drive 5 mph or still try to drive 80 mph. Totally retarded, but fun to watch...

We got some snow up here in 4 corners but not that much
Being retired is great when the weather turns bad, you only go out if you want to. Have a great winter!

WOW! Was this unusual, or do you often get snow in the winter? I always thought NM was a "warm weather state", do you live in the northern part?

Edgewood is about the middle, I’m in the North West, 10 miles from Colorado

We usually get a couple good storms a year. We are in Central NM at 6800 feet high. Albuquerque is over a mile like Denver. So snow is common in the winter. We can have snow anytime between September to May and have.
Southern NM is lower and warmer.
