Local conditions
Here's what actually affects plowing and ice control in Chama.
Chama sits at 7,825 ft in a high Rio Arriba County valley and is the southern terminus of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, whose route crosses 10,022-ft Cumbres Pass, one of the snowiest rail crossings in the country. Terrace Avenue (NM-17) doubles as the town's Main Street and the road to the railroad depot, and this valley draws on both Pacific-moisture storms and Rocky Mountain cold fronts, giving it one of the coldest average January lows of any tier-2 town on this site.
We regularly service routes near US Route 64/84, NM-17 (Terrace Avenue).
