A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Cheshire County, New Hampshire, as accumulating snow is expected to create slick and potentially dangerous travel conditions overnight into early Saturday.
According to the National Weather Service office in Gray, 2 to 5 inches of snow are forecast across Cheshire County, with the highest totals expected in the southwestern portion of the county. Snowfall is ongoing and will continue through the overnight hours before tapering off by 7 a.m. Saturday.
Even relatively light snowfall amounts are expected to accumulate quickly on roadways, leading to snow-covered and slippery driving conditions. Officials warn that untreated roads, bridges, and secondary streets may become hazardous, particularly during late-night and early-morning travel.
Communities affected by the advisory include Keene, Jaffrey, Surry, Marlow, Sullivan, and Gilsum, where residents may encounter reduced traction and slower travel speeds overnight.
The National Weather Service advises motorists to slow down, allow extra stopping distance, and use caution when traveling. Those planning early Saturday morning trips should be prepared for lingering snow-covered roads before crews are able to fully clear and treat surfaces.
