Mud delays Taos county life amid heavy warm spell
Taos sees widespread mud on roads driveways and parking spots after a snowy week and unseasonably warm days. County agent Tony Valdez notes mud has always been present and rainfall over November to January nearly doubled normal at 3.94 inches. Meteorologist Jack Daseler records January temperatures about 4 degrees above normal while nighttime warmth reduces ground freezing. Soil scientist Aaron Miller explains frost heave in Taos soils creates mud as wet soil repeatedly thaws and mixes like cake batter, with deeper thawing deepening the mud and trapping vehicles.
