Concord, New Hampshire – Snow and mixed precipitation could impact New Hampshire Feb. 18-22, with statewide travel concerns possible.
According to the National Weather Service 6-10 Day Outlook issued Thursday, Feb. 12, above-normal precipitation is favored across New Hampshire during the Feb. 18-22 period. Snow is possible across much of the state, particularly in northern counties and higher elevations of the White Mountains.
Localized sleet may develop in transition zones where surface temperatures fluctuate near freezing. While widespread heavy snowfall totals are not yet specified, accumulating snow cannot be ruled out across northern and central portions of the state.
Southern New Hampshire, including Manchester and Nashua, could see periods of rain mixing with snow, especially during daytime hours if temperatures briefly rise above freezing.
The broader weather pattern supports heavier snowfall potential across Minnesota and Wisconsin, while mixed precipitation extends across parts of Michigan, northern Ohio, northern Pennsylvania and upstate New York before reaching northern New England.
Temperatures are forecast to trend near to slightly above normal across portions of the Northeast, increasing the likelihood of shifting precipitation types during the period.
For commuters and students returning after President’s Day week, fluctuating snow and sleet could create slick road conditions, particularly along Interstate 93 and Interstate 89 corridors.
The National Weather Service emphasizes that 6-10 day outlooks reflect probability trends rather than exact storm totals. Residents should monitor updated forecasts for refined snowfall amounts and timing as the period approaches.
