A potent upper level low moved from northwest to southeast across New Mexico while a strong cold front drove south across the state.  Three to five inches of snow fell from the northeast plains to the central highlands with 6 to 12 inches over the higher elevations of the central mountain chain.  Snow amounts were less across the east central and southeast plains, generally from 1 to 3 inches.  However, wind gusts of 50 to 60 mph accompanied the snow, creating extensive blowing snow, reduced visibilities and dangerous travel conditions.
