Manchester, New Hampshire – Winter conditions are expected to trend back toward normal across New Hampshire beginning Tuesday, February 10, as the 8–14 day outlook signals increased precipitation and temperatures settling near seasonal averages through Monday, February 16. The pattern favors a renewed chance for snow across the state as colder air becomes more consistent.
According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, above-average precipitation is favored across much of New England during the February 10–16 period, including New Hampshire. Temperatures are projected to remain close to mid-February norms, keeping much of the state near the freezing mark for extended stretches. This occurs while above-average warmth remains centered across the central United States.
Rather than a single major storm, the outlook supports multiple opportunities for snow during the period. Northern New Hampshire, including Coös County and areas along Route 3 and Route 16, is more likely to see steady snowfall as colder air holds firm. Central and southern sections, including Manchester, Concord, and Nashua, could also see accumulating snow, particularly during overnight and early morning hours.
With temperatures fluctuating near freezing, travel conditions may change quickly at times. Slick roads and refreezing are possible during commutes, especially on untreated surfaces and secondary roads. NHDOT crews may need to respond repeatedly if snow arrives in several waves.
Residents are advised to stay alert for updated statements, plan for winter driving conditions, and keep emergency kits in vehicles. As the colder, wetter pattern holds through Monday, February 16, additional advisories or snow-related alerts may be issued as the outlook window approaches and confidence increases.
