Yep, just in time for the weekend, a big blow blows this way.

Sounds like most of the snow maybe measured in feet will be up high with rain or a rain-snow mix down here in the low country.  Good for skiers.  Not so good if business takes you above 7,500 feet or so.  That's barely a belt notch above the Continental Divide on I-40 between Grants and Gallup where things could get sloppy.

Above that elevation are Apache Summit on U.S. 70 going through the Sacramento Mountains near Ruidoso, Glorieta Pass on I-25 between Santa Fe and Las Vegas and Raton Pass on I-25 at the Colorado border.  Many miles of state and county roads above that elevation, too.  Could be real interesting around here from Friday into Sunday.

And this just in:  The National Weather Service in El Paso has put out an advisory warning about possible flash flooding especially around mountains as the storm tracks across the southern part of New Mexico.

Don't go by these musings, though.  Slow down, pack well, keep an ear on the radio, an eye on TV, check the NMDOT updates at nmroads.com (which already has weather advisories posted) and follow Web news and weather postings at KRQE.com.

Oh, yeah, and watch this space.
