The National Weather Service reported the temperature at 6 a.m. Sunday in Clovis was 6 degrees with blowing snow, fog and mist. NWS reported 20-mph winds had produced a wind-chill factor of 14 degrees below zero. Snowfall totals were not immediately available but 1-3 inches had been forecast overnight and cars and streets were covered in snow before midnight Saturday.
