New Mexico Road Advisories
Topic: North American Travel 12:06 pm EST, Dec 31, 2006

This is a website provided by the New Mexico department of transportation. There's a graphic which shows the status of all the roads in the state, but I find the text version to be more updated on how things are going.

For me right now, the problematic part is the little "no access" symbols on I-40 just east of Albuquerque. On the text version, I scan for "Interstate 40" and review the driving conditions.

New Mexico Road Advisories


I-40 in New Mexico briefly re-opened, then closed again
Topic: North American Travel 12:04 pm EST, Dec 31, 2006

Interstate 40 between Albuquerque and Tucumcari has been closed again due to numerous accidents and hazardous road conditions.

Looks like I'm spending New Year's in Albuquerque...

Record-breaking snowstorm in New Mexico
Topic: North American Travel 6:19 pm EST, Dec 30, 2006

A crippling blizzard has brought life virtually to a standstill in parts of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. Snowfall from 1 to 4 feet, driven by wind gusts from 20 to 50 mph, have lead to whiteout conditions, at times. ... Large stretches of I-25, I-40, and I-70 were shutdown, and numerous other U.S. and state roads were closed.

For Albuquerque, this was truly an historic snowstorm. As of Saturday afternoon, over 15" of snow had fallen at the "Sunport". Over 11" had fallen just on Friday alone, setting a new all-time calendar-day snowfall record. The average yearly snowfall in the city is only 12". By the time the snow finally winds down Saturday evening, this two-day snowfall event may push the all-time heaviest snowstorm on record in Albuquerque.

Or in other words, since I am currently stuck in Albuquerque, I may not be back in St. Louis by New Year's. ;) My car is currently in the middle of a snowdrift, with snow up to the headlights level, and the rest of the road is impassable except for four-wheel drives (Albuquerque isn't known for maintaining a large fleet of snow plows).

Right now I'm glued to the weather reports, basically debating whether or not I should wait for I-40 to re-open, or whether I should head south to I-10 via El Paso ...

Happy Holidays to everyone,

Elonka :)
