Below is this morning's MODIS satellite image from LANCE showing the extent of snow cover along the border. The pins are NWS Cooperative stations. The image enhances the snow cover as the turquoise color. The very light turquoise are clouds like those over much of the area between Silver City and Las Cruces. You can see the snow over the San Andres Mountains.
The air quality forecast is showing good in our area today as the map below shows.
