Rockingham County, NH – New Hampshire State Police are warning drivers to stay off the roads Friday evening as a powerful winter storm continues to create treacherous driving conditions statewide.
According to State Police, troopers have responded to 126 reports of crashes, vehicles off the road, and motorist assists since the snow began earlier today. Officials say while snowfall is expected to lessen overnight, road surfaces will remain slick and dangerous into Saturday morning.
Authorities said crashes have been reported across multiple interstates, including I-89, I-93, and I-95, with troopers and emergency crews working continuously to assist stranded motorists.
“We continue to encourage Granite Staters to stay home if possible,” the agency said. “If you must travel, take it slow and allow plenty of extra time.”
State Police thanked the New Hampshire Department of Transportation and local plow teams for their ongoing overnight operations to clear snow and treat highways.
Motorists are urged to check NH DOT road condition updates and local weather forecasts before traveling.
