Weather Watch
The weather is expected to be cold, with intermittent light snow accumulating between 2 and 4 inches, accompanied by blowing and drifting snow. The anticipated high temperature is 19 degrees, with a wind chill that may make it feel like 9 degrees. Winds will be coming from the north at speeds of 10 to 15 miles per hour or higher.
WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM MONDAY
Snowfall totals are expected to range from 12 to 18 inches, with some spots, particularly along coastal southwest Maine and southern & southeast New Hampshire, possibly seeing up to around 2 feet. Strong winds will blow and pile snow into drifts several feet high, making some streets and highways impassable. The frigid air moving in after the storm means there will be little to no natural melting for days. Our next day above the melting point will be next Tuesday. The coldest part of the week will probably be from Wednesday night to Thursday morning, with temperatures dipping close to zero.
