Lessons To Be Learned From The Blizzard Of 2015 - Heavy Rain & Snow Coming To New Mexico.

Boston Area Snowfall Totals - Blizzard 2015. Boston Blizzard Of 2015. Dorchester, MA. There is a powerful lesson to be learned from the Blizzard of 2015! That lesson is that no matter how good we think we are at forecasting the weather, in reality, more often than not, we're not that good at times. Yes we've come a long way in the past few years compared to say 20, 30, 50 years ago with computer model forecasting. But make no mistake Mother Nature still rules in this department.  The great Blizzard of 2015 tracked just a mere 80 miles east of  the models forecasts and missed New York City but buried parts of New England. Making a fool out of many a forecaster, and politician...that's the nature of the business when dealing with weather forecasting. Just remember that at some point in time, more often than not, even the best of the best forecasters will be wrong. I'm not one to criticize the National Weather Service when their forecasts bust sometimes. N

Special Weather Statement.  How about a sloppy, wet, snowy, cold Super Bowl weekend for southeastern New Mexico and surrounding areas? This appears to be our forecast starting Thursday night and continuing into Sunday at least. This upcoming storm is showing a lot of resemblance to the last storm we endured. The question is whether or not it will get cold enough to produce significant accumulating snows in the lower elevations of southeastern New Mexico. No doubt

Blog Updated @ 6:00 PM MST. I don't think that our soon to be two year old grandson (Kason Kole Levario)  was enjoying the snow in Artesia yesterday nearly as much as I was.  Photo is courtesy of our oldest daughter Amanda Levario. SSEC MODIS Satelitte Images Of New Mexico Today. Modeled Snow Depths @ 8 AM MST This Morning. My two day storm total snowfall here at our home in Carlsbad is 4.2". The maximum snow depth on the ground was this morning with 1.5". This was a wet snow with very large flakes at times, and other times tiny snowflakes fell. Most of which melted as it fell. Including the rain that fell my liquid storm total precipitation is .44" which brings my January total to 1.02". My high temp yesterday was 34°F. Several reports from Artesia indicated that 4" - 4.5"Additional snowfall totals are available via  CoCoRaHS . Click On "The Read More Link" To View A Statewide listing of snowfall to
