THE SECOND WINTER STORM TO HIT NEW MEXICO IN LESS THAN A WEEK IS MAKING NEW MEXICO FRIGID. METEOROLOGIST BRIAN GUYER WITH THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN ALBUQUERQUE TELL US THIS STORM MOVED INTO THE STATE FASTER THAN EXPECTED … AND THE AFFECTS STARTED MONDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE TUESDAY AND BEYOND. HE SAYS THE FOCUS FOR THE SNOW ACCUMULATION WILL BE THE SANGRE DE CRISTO MOUNTAINS.
BUT THE BIG STORY WILL BE THE COLD THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. GUYER SAYS WIND CHILLS WILL BE BELOW ZERO IN THE MOUNTAINS. AND IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS, WE WON’T GET OUT OF THE 30S UNTIL LATE THIS WEEK.
