White out conditions reported in northern NM

February 01, 2011

off the road left and right in white out conditions tonight in northern new mexico. we have some dramatic video of what things look like around the pecos area. joe vigil continues our storm team coverage live from santa fe. joe not bad up here in santa fe right now. but higher up around pecos drivers can't see a thing. the snow is really coming down hard. in fact we helped two people who ended up in the ditch. from inside our car you can see it was very difficult to see. visibility was basically zero on i-25 around pecos. "i just couldn't see anything." sharon frankwicz lost control and flew right into the ditch. "i just started sliding and fish tailed right off the road." frankwicz was heading home to santa fe from las vegas. "my first day on the job up in las vegas... laugh." we stopped to make sure she was alright but not everyone stopped including a dot pick up truck. you can see it on the right.
