Northbound I-25 closed in Raton area of northern New Mexico

RATON, N.M. (AP) — Northbound Interstate 25 is closed in northern New Mexico near the Colorado line due to blizzard or white-out conditions from the bottom of a spring storm in Colorado. The New Mexico Department of Transportation says northbound I-25 was closed Friday morning between Raton and Raton Pass, which is on the state line. The National Weather Service says snowfall and strong winds will continue in the Raton area and other mountain areas of northern New Mexico through midday Friday. Forecasters say snowfall amounts will be light to moderate but that visibility will be near zero at times due to snow and blowing snow. Strong winds are expected much of central and eastern New Mexico through Friday.
