A Snowy And Rainy Weekend, With Flood Warnings, In New Hampshire
Travel possibly impacted; clocks "spring forward"; plus: art, book talks, concerts, fundraisers, stories, theatres, yard sales, and more.
CONCORD, NH — A “hazardous weather outlook” was issued on Thursday morning warning of a possibly snowy and rainy weekend with some flooding issues, too.
After sunny skies with highs in the lower 50s on Friday, clouds roll in, and the temperatures are expected to drop into the mid-to-upper 20s.
Forecasters said Saturday would be mostly cloudy, with highs in the mid-40s.

“Another system moves in Saturday night and Sunday,” the National Weather Service alert stated. “Uncertainty, especially with respect to precipitation type, is high through the coast and interior. Snowy solutions would likely produce travel impacts, whereas rainy solutions would likely produce some flooding issues. Combinations of these two scenarios are possible as well.”
There is a chance of snow before 9 p.m. and then a snow and rain mix, turning to snow overnight, and then rain on Sunday.

Showers are expected all day on Sunday, with highs in the mid-40s and lows in the upper 20s.
Snow showers were possible Monday morning, but then, the skies will clear. Temps will be in the lower 30s and lower 40s.
Sun is expected on Tuesday and Wednesday.
It’s Daylight Savings Time
Clocks “spring forward” on Sunday for the beginning of daylight saving time, which means an extra hour of sunshine at the end of the day for the next nine months.
Remember, sunrises will be an hour later than you’re accustomed to with the beginning of daylight saving time.
Although the switch to daylight saving time is often associated with the beginning of spring, the vernal equinox doesn't occur until March 19.
This year, daylight saving time will last from 2 a.m. Sunday, March 10, until 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 3. Only two states — Hawaii and most of Arizona — have opted out of the Uniform Time Act of 1966, which mandated daylight saving time.
The Time Act could be changed to allow for year-round daylight saving time, as legislation passed in the Senate last year provides. Or it could eliminate it altogether in favor of year-round standard time, as some representatives in the House have suggested. The Sunshine Protection Act hasn’t budged since the Senate passed it through in early 2022.
