High Winds Already Cranking Up This Morning.

November 26, 2022.
Looking West From US Hwy 62/180.
Just South Of The Carlsbad, NM Airport.

Our daughter and husband were on top of C-Hill Friday night around 10 PM and noted that snow was starting to stick to the ground. C-Hill is just a couple hundred feet higher than home about 1/2 of a mile due east and at an elevation of 3.158'. We had light rain and light snow mixed at the same time at our home. In the photo above this slight difference in elevation is noted by the snow on the foothills in the background. See my blog post on 11-27-2022 for snowfall reports and photos.
