A winter storm moving into New Mexico from the West Coast is expected to drop 1 to 2 inches of snow in the Santa Fe area mid-morning Tuesday, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service said Sunday.

Meteorologist Andrew Church said the storm is likely to hit Santa Fe on the opening day of this year's 30-day legislative session — and move out by Wednesday morning. 

"It's pretty quick-hitting," Church said. "There shouldn't be much travel impact."
