Storm brings snow, closures to Taos area
The Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort has received nine inches of snow in the past 24 hours.
The storm that entered the Taos area Thursday hasn't quite been the "snowpocalypse" that some forecasters predicted. But areas of Taos County have received anywhere from a couple inches of snow to 13 inches at Taos Ski Valley.
With the snow and subzero wind chill factors have come closures. The following is a list of closures that The Taos News knows of so far in the Taos area.
- Taos County Magistrate Court
- Town of Taos
- All senior centers located in Taos, Amalia, Questa and Chamisal
"The town of Taos will be closed today, so our staff can focus on snow and ice removal," said town councilor Darien Fernandez.
Some agencies are on a two-hour delay. Due to the weather conditions, which could include an additional one to three inches before noon, according to the National Weather Service, residents are advised to check with agencies to determine whether delays or closures are in place.
