Public Service Announcement Regarding the Recent Snowstorm.
Over the weekend Colfax County along with every other county in New Mexico and across our northern border in Eastern Colorado faced a significant snowstorm. In New Mexico, all 33 counties were affected by the storm with 29 counties reporting moderate to severe conditions. Colfax County Emergency Management, Road and Bridge, Sheriff’s Office, Fire Marshal and Firefighters worked long days to rescue stranded motorist, stranded homeowners, and worked together to plow snow so emergency services could get to residences to assist people needing help. Its important to note there was not anywhere in Colfax County that was not affected by the storm. Colfax County employees worked tirelessly to reach all affected areas; however, our primary focus was on life safety and opening main routes before we could focus on outlying areas. We appreciate our citizens patients and know that while we are proud of our efforts we will continue to look for ways to perform and communicate even better in the future. Snow amounts in Colfax County ranged between one to three feet and in some areas four feet with snow drifts reported as high as six feet. As of today 98%, of the county is open with a few outer lying areas still needing to be opened. Colfax County Manager, Monte Gore worked with IT Director, Amadeo Soto to arrange for a remote Emergency Meeting to be held so the County Commissioners could sign an emergency declaration to help cover the costs.
