Weekend Winter Storms to Bring Snow, Ice, and Rain to New Hampshire
about 1 year agoUS
Spring might be here, but winter isn't finished with New Hampshire. Two distinct storm systems are set to bring a messy mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain across the state this weekend, March 29-30, 2025. The National Weather Service has issued alerts due to the potential for heavy accumulation and hazardous conditions.
Key Insights
•
Two Rounds of Weather:: Expect wintry precipitation Friday night into Saturday, followed by a second system Saturday night into Sunday.
•
Varied Precipitation:: Northern and central NH will see the most snow (up to 8 inches centrally), while southern areas (excluding the coast) face more freezing rain and sleet. The Seacoast expects mainly rain.
•
Significant Ice Accumulation:: Up to a quarter-inch of ice is possible, particularly in southern and central regions like Concord and Jaffrey, increasing the risk of power outages.
•
Hazardous Travel:: Heavy snow, ice accumulation, and low visibility will create dangerous driving conditions, especially Friday night through Sunday. Bridges and overpasses will be particularly slick.
•
Why this matters:: These conditions pose significant risks to travelers and could lead to power disruptions due to ice weighing down lines. Preparation is key.
In-Depth Analysis
The first system arrives Friday night, starting as snow before mixing with and changing to freezing rain/sleet by Saturday afternoon/evening. The second system follows a similar pattern overnight Saturday into Sunday, eventually transitioning to rain late Sunday or Monday morning. Reporting from WMUR notes that while the precipitation won't be continuous for three days, the intensity and type will vary, significantly impacting travel. Snowfall rates could exceed one inch per hour Saturday morning in heavier snow bands. While the Seacoast will largely be spared the worst snow/ice, areas just inland will contend with significant freezing rain. Residents should be prepared for difficult travel throughout the weekend. Additionally, the forecast suggests heavy cloud cover and precipitation will likely obscure the view of the partial solar eclipse expected on Saturday, March 29th.
