New Mexico was slammed with a blast of Arctic air straight out of the North Pole over the weekend. Record-breaking cold temperatures covered the entire Eastern half of the state from Clayton to Carlsbad.
It’s a good bet that any body of water in this part of the state froze, including lakes and ponds that normally never would see ice. A second snowstorm added several more inches of snow Tuesday morning to areas of Central and Southern New Mexico. Best to check on road and fishing conditions before planning a fishing trip this week.

The weather forecast is a bit more promising this coming week. Several storms are in the forecast bringing much-needed rain and snow to New Mexico.
The situation has improved in Colorado. Wolf Creek Pass Ski Area reports that the have now received over 200 inches of snow so far this season. Wolf Creek Pass straddles the Continental Divide, so the snowpack there feeds river basins that flow east and flow west. It is the headwaters of the Rio Grande, which empties into the Gulf of Mexico. It is also the headwaters of the San Juan River, which flows west and runs into the Colorado River. The Colorado River used to empty into the Gulf of California, but dams on the river have reduced the flow to where it no longer does.
