From the NH Department of Safety:
CONCORD, N.H. – The National Weather Service in Gray, Maine has forecasted a snow and wintery mix storm is expected to impact New Hampshire late tonight into Saturday.
A Winter Storm Warning is issued for parts of Coos and Carroll counties while a Winter Weather Advisory is issued for the rest of the state.
A quick moving system will cross the area tonight into Saturday. A burst of snowfall is expected on the leading edge of precipitation tonight followed by a transition to sleet and freezing rain from southwest to northeast across the state. Some of the snow may briefly be moderate to heavy before the transition to sleet and freezing rain.
Farther north, mostly snow is expected. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for parts of Coos and Carroll counties from midnight tonight until 7:00 P.M. Saturday. Heavy snow and sleet is expected to cross the area resulting in difficult travel due to low visibilities and slippery roadways.
A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for parts of Grafton, Carroll, Sullivan, Merrimack, Belknap, Strafford, Cheshire, Hillsborough, and Rockingham counties from 10:00 P.M. this evening until 4:00 P.M. Saturday.
Mixed precipitation is expected with total accumulations of 2 to 5 inches with ice accumulations of around two tenths of an inch. Roadways will be slippery. New Hampshire Homeland Security and Emergency Management Director Jennifer Harper provides these winter weather reminders:
Consider working or schooling from home so that crews can clear the roads.
Slow down and move over for emergency vehicles.
Never crowd the plow.
Always move over for emergency crews.
Clear all snow and ice off your car, including your roof, around lights, and license plates before traveling.
Bridges, overpasses, and exposed road areas are the most prone to slippery conditions.
