THIS COULD BE A GOOD YEAR FOR RIVER RAFTING IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGIST ROYCE FONTENOT SAYS ABUNDANT SNOWFALL OVER THE WINTER MEANS HEALTHY STREAM AND RIVER FLOWS…SO THAT MEANS YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL.
HE SAYS THE RIVER WILL BE MOVING FASTER AND STRONGER THAN YOU’RE ACCUSTOMED TO, SO MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE FORECAST AND THE CONDITION THE RIVER IS IN BEFORE YOU GO ON THE WATER.
FONTENOT TELLS NEWSRADIO KKOB THE WINTER SNOWPACK WAS 120 TO 130 PERCENT OF NORMAL…AS GOOD AS ITS BEEN IN THE PAST 15 YEARS.
