Fair Driving Conditions in Silver City Area - for now

[Editor's Note: I find this totally ironic, because we have winter storm warnings all over the place for tonight and tomorrow. But that storm last night caused difficult driving conditions. I think tonight's, if it's half as bad as is predicted will be much worse. Be careful out there.]

ROAD ADVISORY
Fair Driving Conditions in Silver City Area
Silver City Patrol has reported roadways on NM 152 & NM 15 clear with areas that may become icy overnight due to snow melt. Please drive with caution, reduce speed and obey all posted traffic signs. The NMDOT will continue to monitor conditions. This event will be updated as conditions change.

NM 90, US 180, NM 35 are clear and removed from NM Roads.
