...HEAVY SNOW EVENT COMING TO NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW MEXICO TONIGHT INTO THE WEEKEND....

To SLPPOA Residents on the hillside above Aspen Grove:

Forecasters say New Mexico is about to get another big burst of winter weather.

The National Weather Service says a strong cold front is expected to move into the state Wednesday night and Thursday, producing below-normal temperatures and precipitation.

According to a special weather statement, there will be rain and high-elevation snow across most of northern and central New Mexico Thursday night.

Cold and wet and snowy conditions are expected to prevail from Thursday night to Sunday, with the potential for heavy snowfall in the mountains.

Widespread snow with major impacts today through Thursday.

DENVER — On Dec. 19, 2014, Congress designated the Valles Caldera National Preserve a unit of the national park system. Another six new national park units were also authorized recently by Congress. When fully implemented, these will bring the total number of National Park Service (NPS) units to 408.

Widespread snow with major impacts Wednesday through Thursday.

Snow will develop tonight over the northern mountains and northeast and spread South Wednesday and Wednesday night and continue through the day Thursday. Snow from the central mountain peaks to the Texas border will be heavy at times. Snow will diminish from northwest to southeast later Thursday through Thursday night. Strong East canyon winds into portions of the Rio Grande Valley Wednesday night into Thursday will create blowing snow and make placement of accumulating snow very difficult.
