As it did so. a new storm hit New Mexico spread across the Southwest. The toll of storm-related deaths passed 220, and the cost in lost business and in the expense of snow removal ran into millions of dollars. The cold, which ranged into the below-zero regions in some areas, had a cruel companion: the wind. It stung the faces of motorists trying to dig -out from streets still littered with aban doned vehicles: it blew the snow's fine powder into electric-train engines and stalled motors, and it covered ordinary objects with drifting snow and turned them into strange, white shapes.

In the Southwest up to 12 inches of snow fell in the high mountains of New Mexico, and snow was general in a belt across West Texas from the Panhandle to the Big Bend country.

Home deliveries of milk, fuel oil and diapers were scarce, but deliveries of foodstuffs to stores picked up, and the situation was not considered serious.
