RAIN JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE, SLEET IN SOME PARTS...AND IN THE EAST MOUNTAINS A PRETTY GOOD SNOWFALL FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. SHELTON DODSON IS ON THE WEATHER WATCH. HE'S LIVE IN SANDIA PARK WITH OUR TOP STORY... SHELTON: A CLASSIC FALL SNOW STORM IN NEW MEXICO. IF IT SNOWS IN THE MORNING... THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE MUCH EVIDENCE LEFT IN THE AFTERNOON TO SHOW YOU. BUT TAKE A LOOK AT THINGS AROUND 11 THIS MORNING. THIS IS VIDEO FROM SEDILLO WHERE THE SNOWFALL WAS PRETTY CONSISTENT FOR MUCH OF THE MORNING. PROBABLY AROUND AN INCH OF SNOW THERE. THEN, UP AT THE SANDIA PEAK SKI AREA, A POSTCARD- LIKE SCENE. AT LEAST A COUPLE OF INCHES AT THIS ELEVATION -- WHICH IS AT ABOUT EIGHT THOUSAND FEET. SNOW ON OCTOBER 14TH THE SURPRISE, AND DELIGHT OF FOLKS IN THE EAST MOUNTAINS: : 'It is kind of surprising except I don't expect it to last. I know how the weather is out here and if the sun was to come out in the next couple of hours it would be beautiful.' : 'It was beautiful when we drove up here. I mean all the snow, the trees. But it is all gone now. That's New Mexico .' WE ALSO MADE THE TREK OUT TO MORIARTY THIS MORNING. THEY HAD PRETTY CONSISTENT RAIN -- AND TEMPS DROPPING TO AROUND THE 40 DEGREE MARK -- BUT NO SNOW. AND IN THE NORTHEAST HEIGHTS... A LOT OF RAIN THIS MORNING... MOVING WATER ON THE STREETS ...BUT NO REPORTS OF SNOW THERE TODAY EITHER. A COUPLE OF THE PEOPLE WE TALKED TO OUT HERE TODAY ARE ACTUALLY FROM ALBUQUERQUE WHO MADE THE DRIVE OUT OF THE CREST -- JUST TO SEE THE FIRST SNOW OF THE YEAR.
