ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - A storm has brought snow across New Mexico, leading to freezing temperatures and icy road conditions.
Snowfall has led to more than 150 delays and closures Tuesday morning with residents being urged to stay home.
In Albuquerque, the city’s non-essential services and offices will open two hours later because of the weather. City officials say 30 sanding and plowing vehicles are working 12-hour shifts to clear snow-packed roadways. The city’s buses are also operating on a limited capacity.
The weather is delaying the opening of the Bandelier National Monument until noon so workers can clear snow and ice from trails and roads.
Forecasters say snow will dominate much of the morning followed by rain. Parts of the state remain under a winter storm advisory or winter storm warning through early Wednesday.
