A powerful jet stream that shifted into New Mexico from the eastern Pacific Ocean focused periodic strong winds over the region on the 3rd and 4th.  The strongest winds impacted the higher terrain and along the east slopes of the central mountain chain.  Peak wind gusts between 60 and 70 mph were common across the region with even some damage reported southwest of Corona.  An extended period of bitter cold, snow, low clouds, and freezing fog impacted the state after the powerful jet stream pulled away from the region.
