What happened
The episode as NWS ABQ wrote it up.
The storm system that impacted portions of New Mexico with snow and strong winds on the 22nd exited into the Great Plains on the 23rd. A potent jet stream on the back side of this storm system combined with a strong surface pressure gradient along the Texas state line to produce areas of high wind. The strongest winds developed from Clayton to Clovis where gusts between 55 and 59 mph were reported. Numerous roads across far northeastern New Mexico remained closed as blowing snow created treacherous travel conditions.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 23, 5:09 AM MST, 5 hours 51 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 509 AM MST TUE DEC 23 2014 .AVIATION... 12Z TAF CYCLE VFR CONDITIONS WITH GUSTY WINDS FORECAST ACROSS THE NW THIRD OF NM INCLUDING TAF SITES KFMN...KGUP...KAEG...KSAF AND KABQ THROUGH THE NEXT 12 TO 15 HRS. SOME MT OBSCURATIONS THIS AREA STILL LIKELY THROUGH 16 TO 18Z TODAY. ELSEWHERE STILL SOME PATCHY MVFR CIGS/VSBY AND MUCH MORE LOCALIZED IFR CIGS...BUT THAT LIKELY TO IMPROVE TO VFR NO LATER THAN 17Z OR 18Z. MT OBSCURATIONS MAY LINGER A BIT LONGER IN THIS AREA. SFC WINDS INCREASING SUBSTANTIALLY BETWEEN 14 AND 18Z AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTN EAST OF A LINE FROM KRTN TO KROW. GUSTS TO 40-45KTS LIKELY AT KTCC THIS AFTN... BUT AS MUCH AS 10 KTS HIGHER TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH. STRONG WINDS WILL GREATLY DIMINISH AFTER ABOUT 23Z. 43 && .PREV DISCUSSION...340 AM MST TUE DEC 23 2014... .SYNOPSIS... LIGHT SNOW WILL TAPER OFF FROM SOUTH TO NORTH ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO THIS MORNING. MUCH COLDER AIR AND ANOTHER ROUND OF WINDS WILL MOVE IN TODAY CREATING FRIGID WIND CHILLS. TEMPERATURES WILL TREND SLIGHTLY WARMER FOR WEDNESDAY AND WINDS WILL BE LIGHTER. THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH NORTHERN NEW MEXICO CHRISTMAS DAY AND INCREASE THE CHANCES FOR SOME SNOW SHOWERS THROUGH CHRISTMAS NIGHT. ANOTHER BLAST OF COLDER AIR WILL SLIDE OVER THE STATE BEHIND THIS STORM SYSTEM. FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WILL AVERAGE 5 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL...WITH A FEW SHOWERS SHOWERS CONTINUING OVER THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS. ANOTHER POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEM WILL ATTEMPT TO TAKE SHAPE OVER THE REGION AROUND NEW YEARS. && .DISCUSSION... STOUT NORTHERLY FLOW AND STRONG COLD ADVECTION ARE MOVING INTO THE AREA THIS MORNING. MODEL 700MB TEMPS OF -10 TO -12C ARE NEAR -2 STD DEVIATIONS BELOW CLIMO...SO COLD TEMPS ARE ON TAP FOR TODAY. LIGHT SNOW CONTINUES TO EXIT SLOWLY SOUTHWARD OVER THE AREA. THE INFRARED AND WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOW ONE LAST MID TO UPPER LEVEL VORT AXIS SHIFTING ACROSS CENTRAL AND WESTERN NM. SURFACE WINDS INDICATE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS AROUND CLINES CORNERS TO EASTERN SOCORRO AND LINCOLN COUNTIES. THIS WILL LIKELY FORCE SNOWFALL TO CONTINUE IN THIS AREA THROUGH LATE MORNING... HOWEVER ACCUMULATIONS WILL ONLY BE LIGHT. SURFACE TEMPS OVER THE EAST CENTRAL AND SE PLAINS ARE STRUGGLING TO FALL BELOW FREEZING SO NOT EXPECTING ANY IMPACTS FROM SNOW. WILL CANCEL ALL WINTER HIGHLIGHTS WITH THIS FORECAST CYCLE. DECIDED TO UPGRADE THE HIGH WIND WATCH FOR UNION TO A WARNING AND SPREAD ADVISORIES INTO SURROUNDING AREAS. MAIN CONCERN WITH THESE WINDS WILL ACTUALLY BE BLOWING SNOW OVER THE RATON RIDGE/JOHNSON MESA WHERE HEAVY SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WERE REPORTED. WIND CHILLS WILL BE THE OTHER CONCERN AS MOST AREAS WILL HOVER IN THE TEENS TO UPPER SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS NORTHEAST NM. WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WILL TREND WARMER AS WINDS BACK AHEAD OF THE NEXT LARGE SCALE TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL HELP WARM TEMPS THE MOST IN THE PLAINS HOWEVER IT WILL STILL BE BELOW NORMAL MOST AREAS. CHANCES THEN INCREASE FOR A FEW SNOW SHOWERS OVER NORTHERN NM CHRISTMAS NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS A LARGE SCALE UPPER TROUGH SETTLES INTO THE AREA. TEMPS WILL TREND MUCH COLDER ONCE AGAIN WITH MANY AREAS BELOW NORMAL. WINDS WILL MAKE CONDITIONS FEEL EVEN COLDER. YET AGAIN 700MB TEMPS WILL NEAR -10 TO -12C FOR NORTHERN NM...AND 500MB TEMPS NEAR -26C. THIS WILL MAKE FOR BITTERLY COLD SKIING CONDITIONS DURING THE BUSY HOLIDAY PERIOD. GUIDANCE THEN INDICATES A POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM SYSTEM EVOLVING VERY SLOWLY OVER THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS ONE BEARS WATCHING AS PLENTY OF COLD AIR IS IN PLACE AND THE UPPER FORCING IS NEARLY STATIONARY TO THE WEST OF NEW MEXICO FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THE MOISTURE SOURCE WILL BE THE INGREDIENT TO QUESTION...BUT THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR A BIG SNOW EVENT AROUND NEW YEARS. GUYER && .FIRE WEATHER... CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS NOT EXPECTED FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 5 TO 7 DAYS. SNOW TO BE WINDING DOWN ACROSS THE EAST AND N CENTRAL HIGHER TERRAIN THIS MORN...THOUGH SOME SPOTTY FLURRIES COULD REFIRE NEAR AND A LITTLE EAST FROM CENTRAL MTN CHAIN THIS AFTN. THE STRONG NW TO N FLOW ACROSS CENTRAL AND W NM HAS ALREADY BEGUN TO SUBSIDE AND FOR THE MOST PART WILL COME DOWN SOMEWHAT MORE...ESPEC ACROSS SW THIRD OF FCST AREA TODAY. THE STRONGEST CORE OF H7 WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST/EAST CENTRAL PLAINS THIS MORN AND CONTINUE INTO THE AFTN AND EARLY EVE...WHERE SUSTAINED NORTHERLY WINDS WILL LIKELY RANGE FROM 30 TO 45 MPH AND GUST BETWEEN 50 AND 60 MPH. ELSEWHERE TODAY BRISK NORTH WINDS WILL BE WIDESPREAD...GENERALLY 15 TO 25 MPH... LOCALLY A BIT HIGHER...WITH GUSTS BETWEEN 25 AND 40 MPH. WHILE WINDS WILL AGAIN BE NEAR AND IN SOME CASES ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS TODAY...RH WILL STAY ABOVE CRITICAL MINIMUMS AS WELL AS AFTN TEMPS STAYING 5 TO NEARLY 20 DEGREES BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS. WINDS TAPER OFF TONIGHT AND ADDITIONALLY WED AS A RIDGE BUILDS TOWARD THE STATE. DEW POINTS DROP SIGNIFICANTLY LATE THIS AFTN AND TONIGHT LEADING TO BELOW AVERAGE LOWS EARLY WED. WHILE DAYTIME TEMPS REMAIN BELOW THE NORM WED...MOST LOCALES WILL WARM 5 TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE TODAYS LEVELS. MORE SPOTS THAN NOT TOP OUT AT LEAST SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE CHRISTMAS DAY AS ANOTHER SYSTEM APPROACHES N NM. WITH THE STATE BEING AGAIN ON THE SOUTH END OF THIS NEXT TROUGH MT TOP WINDS ARE FORECAST TO REACH BETWEEN 45 AND 55 MPH WITH SOME OF THIS STRONGER FLOW REACHING THE SFC. STRONGEST WINDS AGAIN LIKELY TO BE ALONG AND SOME DISTANCE EAST OF CENTRAL MTN CHAIN. SHOWERS COULD ALSO DEVELOP ACROSS THE NORTH AND PORTIONS OF THE WEST...THEN SPREAD INTO THE EAST AS A COLD FRONT TRACKS SOUTHWARD...SETTING UP A RETURN TO BELOW AVERAGE HIGHS FRIDAY. FCST MODELS CURRENTLY THOUGH SHOWING BULK OF WHAT PRECIP MAY OCCUR FALLING ACROSS THE NW THIRD CHRISTMAS DAY... MTN SNOW AND PERHAPS A MIX LOWER DOWN...WITH ANOTHER BATCH INDICATED TO MOVE ACROSS THE S THIRD TO HALF OF THE STATE LATE THU NIGHT POSS LINGERING AS LONG AS SAT MORN. DRIER AND SOME WARMING THEREAFTER FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS. VENT RATES TODAY WILL BE GOOD TO EXCELLENT OVERALL NEARLY ALL AREAS...BUT WILL BE POOR OVER THE MAJORITY OF THE REGION WED. VENT RATES IMPROVE SIGNIFICANTLY CHRISTMAS DAY...THEN WORSEN FRI AND MORE SO SAT...STAYING PRETTY LOW AGAIN SUN. 43 && .ABQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WIND ADVISORY FROM 8 AM THIS MORNING TO 4 PM MST THIS AFTERNOON FOR THE FOLLOWING ZONES...NMZ527-528-531-532-534>536.
