Last year on Mt. Lemmon
The storm that left 5″ of snow on Mt. Lemmon and even a dusting on Tombstone has now moved into Far West Texas. El Paso has had a couple of inches of snow from the storm as the vigorous upper level low combines with more moisture and some cooler air. The Sun isn’t quite up yet in El Paso, but here are some web cams to check this morning before it all melts. The roads look wet, so the snow has marginal sticking power in El Paso even though they do have a Winter Storm Warning.
Meanwhile in Roswell, NM (my old stomping grounds) it’s snowing right now with a Winter Weather Advisory in effect. They are expecting “Generally 2-4″ of snow..” Here’s a nice web cam on the Pecos River in Carlsbad, NM with which to watch the snow coming down.
Lubbock, where I also lived for years, is expecting 1-3″ of snow with some sleet and rain mixed in today. Yes, I am jealous!
The good news is (for snow lovers like me) El Nino Winters are generally cooler and snowier for places like Roswell, Lubbock, El Paso and even Tucson. We’re just getting warmed up… er started.
Update 6:24 a.m. MST: The El Paso cams I have linked are somewhat of a bust with images from last night that aren’t updating. However, the Carlsbad “Brad Light’s Cam” camera is GREAT! Here’s a shot I just captured. Snow in Carlsbad!
Snow Day in Carlsbad, NM!
Update 6:42 a.m. MST: Here is a link to webcams in Midland, Odessa, Notrees and Hobbs. Snow in Hobbs and a dusting in Notrees. Also, a friend of mine on Facebook, Jessica Armstrong, says it has started to snow in Lubbock near 50th and Quaker.
