Winter Storm Moves Into New Mexico


Associated Press
      A winter storm is moving across northern and central New Mexico, leaving plenty of snow on the ground and causing traffic tie-ups in some areas.
    Highway crews worked overnight as the first winter storm of the season moved into northern and central New Mexico. The National Weather Service says 10 inches of snow fell south of Gallup, six inches at Sandia Park and five inches at Gallup and Farmington.
    Eastbound Interstate 40 was closed for about two hours near Santa Rosa on Wednesday after a tractor-trailer rolled. The interstate also was closed much of the morning near Thoreau after up to eight tractor-trailers were involved in another crash.
    Power outages were reported in Farmington and on Albuquerque's West Side.
    A winter storm warning is in effect for north-central New Mexico through 6 a.m. Thursday.
