A strong, slow-moving storm brought a mix of snow, sleet and heavy winds to New Hampshire late Wednesday night into early Thursday morning, knocking out power in over 100,000 businesses and homes across the state.
Hunter Tubbs, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Gary, Maine, told Seacoast Online, part of the USA TODAY network, that periods of moderate to locally heavy snow were expected to continue until late morning, and may mix with rain again in the afternoon.
Tubbs told Seacoast Online that coastal areas could see another inch of snow on top of what fell overnight, while inland areas might get 4 more inches of snow this morning on top of several inches overnight. Some areas of New Hampshire, including the Rochester area, could reach 12-18 inches total.
The National Weather Service says the region could see 1-2 inches per hour through the morning commute and while the heaviest snow will diminish by midday, snow showers are expected to linger through Saturday.
