New Hampshire – Wet snowflakes mix with cold rain this morning, coating windshields and creating slick patches across Manchester right now. Pavement looks mostly wet, but temperatures near 34°F mean slushy buildup can form quickly, especially on untreated roads. Visibility holds steady but drops in pockets of fog and steady precipitation.
According to the National Weather Service in Gray, a rain and snow mix continues through late morning, with scattered snow showers lingering into the afternoon. North winds around 10 mph keep temperatures hovering near freezing, limiting melting in shaded areas. Precipitation remains light, but timing during the morning commute raises travel concerns.
Across Manchester and nearby towns, drivers along I-93 and Route 101 should watch for slush accumulation and brief slick spots. Bridges and overpasses cool faster and may turn icy even while main roads stay wet. Plan extra time and avoid sudden braking where snow showers intensify.
Conditions begin improving later today as precipitation tapers, but colder air settles in quickly. Temperatures drop toward 25°F tonight, setting the stage for refreezing. Any leftover moisture could harden into black ice by early Tuesday, especially in low-traffic areas.
Sunshine returns Tuesday with highs near 45°F, offering a break and better travel conditions. By Wednesday, temperatures climb into the low 50s with partly sunny skies. Clouds increase Thursday, and rain chances return by late day, continuing into early Friday.
This week brings a classic early spring swing, from slushy snow to mild afternoons and back to rain. Stay alert for changing road conditions, especially during early mornings. What are you seeing on your roads right now?
