Forecasters predict heavy snow in the mountains and a mix of rain and snow in lower elevations as a winter storm moves across northern and central New Mexico.
The New Mexico Department of Transportation reported difficult driving conditions Friday morning on some highways, including Interstate 25 between Rowe and Watrous. That stretch of I-25 is wet, snow-packed and icy in spots, and crews are out plowing, salting and cindering.
Other highways in the Las Vegas area also have difficult driving conditions.
The National Weather Service says precipitation will continue through Saturday before diminishing Saturday night.
Forecasters say a foot of snow is likely at elevations above 9,000 feet, creating a possibility of roof collapses.
