Please fasten your seatbelts...

...it may be a bumpy ride.

That was certainly the message to many airline passengers last week with the incredible outbreak of violent weather in the southern United States.  In a much different way, New Mexico had its share of exciting spring weather this weekend.  Crossing the pass on Highway 64 between Tres Piedras and Tierra Amarilla, the sky was incredibly dynamic and in constant flux.  Even to an amateur weather watcher like myself, the clouds told of a rough ride at higher altitudes.






The weather professionals have predicted snow and rain for much of the winter, and so frequently did it fail to materialize that this weekend's results were a most welcome surprise!

  1. The snow was a welcome event in the high country albeit chilly and raw. How deep was the snow atop Hwy 64?
