Winter Weather Alert: 4 To 12 Inches Of Snow Heading To New Hampshire

GREY, ME — New Hampshire will be under a winter storm watch beginning first thing Tuesday morning as another storm moves into the state, which is expected to drop at least 4 inches of snow, possibly 12 or up to 18 inches in places, forecasters said Monday.

A low-pressure system, which delivered heavy snow to the Great Lakes and Midwest, will be in New Hampshire around midnight. The storm is expected to taper off on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

“Periods of moderate and heavy snow will combine with low visibility to create dangerous driving conditions,” the National Weather Service said in an alert. “The hazardous conditions could impact the Tuesday morning and evening commutes. Slow down and use caution while traveling.”

The NWS Winter Weather Advisory covers the entire state.

As with all snowstorms, what is in question is how much snow is expected.

NWS maps show most Patch communities receiving 4 to 6 inches — possibly reaching more than 6 and up to 9 inches. On the low side, it might only be 2 to 3 inches.

However, AccuWeather.com says the snow, based on the prior conditions, will be in the 6 to 12 range, possibly reaching StormMax level of 18 inches.

And Granite Staters, brace yourself — more snow is expected on Friday night and Saturday, too.
