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

.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,

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.
