WINTER STORAGE OVERVIEW
A few snow showers or very light rain are possible Thursday afternoon in southern New Hampshire before the main body of the storm fills in around midnight.
The exact range of the storm, which could sweep 30 miles in either direction, will determine impacts and the type of precipitation locally. At the moment, it looks like it will be snowing mainly in areas north and west of Manchester. Limited snow accumulation is expected in Manchester towards the south-east, as any snow in these areas quickly changes to a mix and rain.

Accumulations of about 6 to 12 inches of snow are possible across the eastern White Mountains, northern Lakes Region, parts of the Great Northern Woods and through the Monadnock Region. People along the Connecticut River Valley and from Plymouth down through Concord could see 3 to 6 inches. Points south and east of Manchester towards the coast could see 1-3 inches down to a blanket of snow.
Regardless of the type of precipitation, the storm will have a major impact on travel conditions Friday through the first half of Saturday, with the heaviest precipitation and most difficult travel likely Friday afternoon.
The storm continues until at least Saturday morning and then slowly thins from south to north.
No major warming is expected after the storm blows over, so the accumulating snow will likely stick around for a bit, which is good news for New Hampshire’s ski areas. Basically it gets a “white Christmas” for central and northern spots.
