4- To 10-Inches Of Snow Coming To New Hampshire: Update

GREY, ME — The National Weather Service has issued an updated "winter storm warning" on Thursday preparing Granite Staters for up to 10-inches of snow in some parts of the state, depending on how the storm tracks north.

"Low pressure tracking near Cape Cod will spread precipitation into New Hampshire and Maine today and tonight," the alert, issued at 6:11 a.m. on Thursday, stated. "As cold air wraps into the system, rain will change to a heavy wet snow tonight and Friday."

The heaviest accumulations "will occur in higher elevations" but some valley locations "will likely see accumulating snowfall." The snow is expected to be sticky and wet and is expected to stick to trees.

"The weight of snow on trees will cause tree limbs to bend or break leading to power outages," the alert said. "Travel will be very difficult due to low visibility and snow-covered roads. The weight of snow on trees may snap branches and lead to power outages."

While there is some unpredictability with the storm, forecasters believe western New Hampshire, parts of the Lakes Region, and the White Mountains will receive the most snow. If the storm shifts east slightly, the storm could bring more than just rain or an inch or two of snow to central and southern New Hampshire.

AccuWeather.com said many parts of the Northeast are in for a spring rollercoaster ride — with temps shifting from the mid-70s to the mid-20s in days and up to 12-inches of snow possible in New Hampshire, Vermont, and upstate New York.
