January 2017 was an active month with four storms bringing low elevation rain and higher elevation snow. A weak system on the first delivered mostly light amounts of snow to the northern mountains. The next storm on the 4th through 6th produced widespread rain and snow, including 1 to 2 feet of snow on the northern mountains. The third storm on the 14th through 15th blanketed mountain locations with around 1 foot of snow, and 2 feet reported near Magdalena. The fourth and final storm of the month was from the 22nd through 24th. It again delivered heavy snow to the northern mountains, on the order of 1 to 2 feet. Widespread rain and lighter snow fell elsewhere. January 2017 will likely end up as one of the wetter January's on record. Portions of central and eastern New Mexico ended up with 300 percent of normal or higher. The last week of the month finally produced an extended period of dry weather. Cold temperatures on the 25th through 27th gave way to milder, above normal highs and lows through the last few days of the month. A large swath from northwest to southeast New Mexico experienced above normal temperatures, while the northeast and southwest had near normal temperatures. |
