Concord, NH – A powerful winter storm is set to impact New Hampshire this weekend, bringing heavy snow, sleet, and ice accumulation across the state. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning from 7 PM Saturday until 1 AM Monday, warning of hazardous travel conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, the storm is expected to bring 6 to 9 inches of snow, along with up to 1.5 inches of sleet and ice accumulations up to two-tenths of an inch in central and southern parts of the state. Northern areas will see slightly less sleet and ice but will still experience plowable snowfall and slick roads.
Officials warn that travel will become dangerous, particularly as snow transitions to sleet and freezing rain, making roads icy and difficult to navigate. Residents are urged to avoid unnecessary travel and wait to clear driveways until the storm ends.
Those who must travel should carry emergency supplies, including a flashlight, food, and water. The latest road conditions can be found at newengland511.org.
