URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Albuquerque NM
303 PM MST Sun Feb 14 2021

...SNOWFALL AND BLOWING SNOW COMING TO AN END ACROSS NORTHERN NEW
MEXICO AS BITTER COLD WIND CHILLS TAKE PRECEDENCE THROUGH TONIGHT
INTO MONDAY MORNING...

.Snowfall is tapering off over much of northern New Mexico, mostly
continuing souther of Interstate 40, while accumulating snow
continues for areas mainly south of U.S. Highway 60. However,
due to persistently cold temperatures, impacts that have already 
occurred will linger in many areas. Bitter cold wind chills will
continue and expand over much eastern New Mexico through tonight
into Monday morning with readings dipping into the negative teens
to negative twenties for wind chill. These will create dangerous
conditions outdoors with frost bite setting in quickly.
