Look closely and you can pick out the snow cover band over the Guadalupe's with a streak of snow extending northeast to Brantley Lake and then on to Loco Hills this morning. Another band runs from just southwest of the Hagerman area northward through Roswell and the Bitter Lakes Wildlife Refuge. Widespread snow cover is evident over the Capitan and Sacramento mountains, and west of Tatum northward over the Eastern Plains.

Thoughts On Our Latest Winter Storm.

Ski Apache reported 6" of new snow this morning bringing their seasonal total to 95".

What a letdown here in the Pecos Valley. What looked like a good opportunity for some decent snowfall totals ended up falling flat for many of us. Most disappointing I think was the mountains where Sunspot recorded a storm total of only 6.8", Cloudcroft 2.5", and Ruidoso 4.0". This when 6" to 12" or more were forecast, while Ski Apache was expecting to see around 18".

Runyan Ranches located on U.S. Hwy 82 a couple of miles east of Elk in southwest Chaves County picked up 6" of snow and noted a low temperature of 8º.

Carlsbad officially had 1.0" of snowfall and an inch on the ground at 6 PM MST yesterday evening. I recorded a storm total of 0.6" with a half of an inch on the ground at 9 pm last night. Rain changed over to sleet and snow yesterday morning and continued off and on throughout the day into the early evening. My temperature hovered around 34º for most of the day, and that with a warm ground melted the snow and sleet as it fell. Otherwise, we could have ended up with about 2.0" on the ground.

My seasonal snowfall total to-date is now up to 4.8", making this the snowiest February for me since 2011 when 5.9" fell that month. It's also the snowiest season in the past five years (4.7" so far) since the winter of 2015/2016 when 23.0" fell.
