Travel is discouraged in some areas of New Mexico. Gusts of 50-70 mph are expected creating areas of blowing dust on the eastern plains and blowing snow in the northern and western mountains. Check nmroads.com for updates in your area. #NMDOTcares @GovMLG

Crews will be near Trujillo Meadows Reservoir #ConejosPeakRD to burn slash piles from a timber sale. Smoke may be visible from a distance since it will be such a nice day here in southern Colorado. Folks in northern New Mexico (having the same nice day) might see the smoke too!
