A winter storm warning is in effect for parts of New Mexico until noon Tuesday due to snow accumulations near Albuquerque and Las Vegas.
The National Weather Service says snow accumulations ranging from 7 to 18 inches are possible, mainly on higher eastern slopes. The highest amounts are expected west and north of Las Vegas.
Snowfall is forecast to diminish by midday, though roads and highways likely will still be covered by snow and ice through the morning.
Public schools in Santa Fe delayed opening by two hours Tuesday.
