Winter Storm Summary December 4, 2025 - Windy In The Guadalupe's Friday.
Rio Hondo Bridge (4,976').
East Of Hondo In Lincoln County.
New Mexico Snowfall Was Impressive.
As of noontime today, the greatest 24-hour snowfall total I can find in New Mexico was the 12.0" reported by the Cedar Crest CoCoRaHS Station 3.0 miles north-northeast, followed by 11.5" at the Sandia Park CoCoRaHS Station 0.5 miles south. Additional totals reported are listed in my blog post.
Ski Apache west of Ruidoso measured 4.0" of new snowfall, bringing their season total to 7.0". The Ruidoso National Weather Service Climate Co-Op Station measured 1.0" of snowfall.
In Cloudcroft, the National Weather Service Climate Co-Op Station measured 3.5" of new snowfall. While the Cloudcroft CoCoRaHS Station, 0.4 miles east-southeast, measured 2.8" of new snow, the Cloudcroft CoCoRaHS Station, located 1.8 miles southwest, measured 2.5".
Overnight, the Roswell Airport picked up .10" of rainfall while no precipitation reports were noted in Eddy, Lea, and Culberson Counties.
I hope those of you who got rain and snow enjoyed it because it is coming to an end for awhile. A strong high-pressure ridge aloft will dominate our weather this weekend into next week. In fact, our daily high temps may be some 15 degrees or more above normal by the end of next week with dry conditions.
Long-range forecasts call for drier and warmer-than-normal conditions through the middle of the month.
