Measuring Snow Correctly:
When measuring snow it's best to do this on a flat, grassy surface. Pavement tends to be warmer than those grassy surfaces, and the snow will compact more. It gives meteorologists a better idea of how much snowfall we got when it's on a grassy surface.
Snow Totals Forecast:
The higher totals will be for the southern portion of I-25, but there will be periods of limited visibility. Use caution while driving in these conditions.
