Snowfall General in Highlands Forces Benefit to Ranches
Snow blanketed the Sig Bend highlands from 8 to 16 inches in higher elevations with lighter falls elsewhere. The storm brought one of the wettest, most beneficial snows in years, aiding ranges that have suffered in recent months. Rain began Monday morning, turning to snow by night, leaving ground depths of several feet. Snow continued through Monday night and Tuesday, with moisture extending east of Alpine to New Mexico and Arizona areas. The Alpine region records one to two meters of moisture from rain and snow. Temperatures stayed near freezing nightly, cattle losses feared but overall benefits expected to outweigh losses as the moisture arrives.
