While driving to New Mexico after the National Storm Chaser Convention, I encountered two intense bands of convective snowshowers near Trinidad, CO and Wagon Mound, NM. Both bands produced very quick accumulations of 2-3 inches. I stopped south of Raton, NM, in a clear area between the two bands, to get a few pictures.
Looking southwest, toward the band producing brief heavy snow around Wagon Mound and Roy, NM:
Looking northwest, toward the band I had just come through near Trindad, CO - You can't see the cloud tops well, but you can see the snow coming over the mountains:
