Anyone else stuck in this NM winter storm?

I'm camped out at the Deming, NM Wallyworld. I was hoping to make it into AZ before it hit but no luck. Southern NM just can't handle the snow, lol!

 

LOL! Good one.

I've lived in the Southern NM and West Texas area all my life and it doesn't take much snow to prompt the state police to shut down the roads.

 

I wish it had shut down in Las Cruces before I passed. I could have least parked at my moms house and had a home cooked meal, lol! At least the town of Deming is being accomidating. Free coffee, hot chocolate and snacks in the Walmart.

 

It was full already, at least from what was broadcast on the radio. I was with a group that got stuck between exit 115 and 102 due to a wreck for about 2 hrs before they let us continue to Deming. The city was pretty full of cars, trucks, etc. and the motels booked up by the time we rolled in. Took an hour to get to Deming at 15-25 mph.

I was lucky to get to where I was. They ended up lining trucks along the frontage road after Walmart and the Kmart next door filled up.

The road opened up around 10 this morning and my drop in Phoenix rescheduled for 9pm tonight. I'm here in Eloy, AZ taking a shower break.
