Snowstorm Tightens Grip From New Mexico To Panhandle
A two pronged storm dumped up to two feet of snow across highways from central New Mexico into the Texas Oklahoma Panhandle. Albuquerque felt the blow first as the storm tracked north east then roared back with winds to 60 mph closing schools isolating towns and stranding hundreds. Rain spread toward Louisiana and Arkansas with more than an inch in Lufkin Shreveport and El Dorado. Western Washington faced floods as mountain snows melted pushing water into the Snohomish Snoqualmie and Green rivers and closing Snoqualmie and Stevens Passes. Rain expected across the region east to Georgia and northern Indiana with more showers along the Washington Oregon coast.
