A fresh blanket of snow may have ended overnight, but New Hampshire’s roads are still hiding surprises this morning — and not the good kind.
Drivers across the state are being urged to use extra caution on Wednesday after a widespread storm dropped 5 to 10 inches of snow, leaving behind slick, icy patches as temperatures dipped to freezing.
As the sun returns, much of Wednesday will be bright but chilly, with highs struggling into the 30s. Cleanup efforts continue in many communities, though travel conditions should improve through the day.
Colder Air Moves In Thursday
Forecasters say the next weather concern comes Thursday as another push of frigid air sweeps across the region. Light snow showers are expected, but a brief afternoon snow squall could create sudden whiteout conditions and quickly coat roadways, making travel hazardous.
Frigid Friday Ahead
By Friday, temperatures will tumble even further. Highs will only reach the 20s, and morning lows could sink into the single digits — the coldest air of the week.
Good Weekend for Skiers
Those heading to the mountains this weekend can expect sunny skies and seasonably cold air, with highs in the 30s on both Saturday and Sunday. Ski conditions are expected to be excellent following the fresh snowfall and colder temperatures.
Stay Weather-Aware
Residents are encouraged to keep weather alerts activated on their preferred apps to track precipitation, temperature drops, and potential squalls.
