"Snowstorm Forecast: From Desert Flurries to Rocky Peaks and Southwest Travails"

New Mexico is bracing for a significant winter storm that could deliver up to 10 inches of snow to parts of the state, particularly in the northern mountains. The National Weather Service has issued warnings for heavy snowfall and below-normal temperatures, which could affect travel on major highways due to slick roads and low visibility. A second, even colder storm is forecasted to hit the region over the weekend, potentially leading to hazardous conditions with snow and blowing snow through Monday.
