Santa Fe weathered Sunday's snowstorm without any major calamities.
City police reported about 10 weather-related traffic accidents, but no injuries.
"I haven't seen anything serious at all other than people going off the roadway," Santa Fe County Undersheriff Robert Garcia said.
The highway leading to Ski Santa Fe, N.M. 275, was temporarily closed late Sunday, then reopened early Monday, but traffic was reported to be moving slow there Monday morning.
Snow-related electrical power outages were reported Sunday and Monday in Chama, Alcalde, Chimayó, Nambé and Sombrillo.
Jemez Mountains Electric Co-op General Manager Ernesto Gonzales said the problems were caused by trees and limbs falling on power lines.
He said all of the outages, except in Sombrillo, had been fixed by midday Monday.
Public Service Company of New Mexico said the 120 customers in Old Cañoncito, south of Eldorado, were without power for three hours late Sunday and a few customers on Alameda Street lost power for one hour early Monday.
The ski area above Santa Fe got 10 inches of snow, with lesser amounts in town. Sunny weather is forecast through the week, with temperatures exceeding 60 degrees. More snow is possible late Friday.
