The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for all of New Hampshire except the far north. This warning also includes coastal Maine, and MA north of the Mass Pike.

Quite a bit of snow is on the way for Wednesday. Sunny weather will last through the rest of today and the bitter cold will relax to normal midwinter temperatures, allowing you to make your snowstorm preparations.

This storm will move out out the southern plains where it is generating headlines with ice in Texas. From there it will move to the New Jersey coast and track just south of Long Island NY and into the Gulf of Maine.

The moisture with this storm will meet with the cold dry air over us and generate snow. For most of New England it will be the fluffy western style powder, but south of Boston and Hartford it could be a bit stickier and may mix with sleet or freezing rain at the height of the storm tomorrow afternoon.

Snow will begin around midnight tonight in far southwest Connecticut and will move northeast, reaching Maine by 7 a.m. and will fall heavily within 4 hours of onset.

Since the roads have been in subzero cold for the last few days, expect the snow to begin accumulating on them as soon as it starts falling.

The height of the storm for New Hampshire will be tomorrow afternoon when snow may fall heavily for several hours. Snow will begin to taper off in the evening and may continue intermittently, lightly, through Thursday morning.

For the lakes region expect an average of 12 inches, with amounts of 18 inches not out of the question. The highest amounts will fall on east-facing slopes of the Belknap Range, the Ossipee Range, and the Squam Range.

Snow will end on Thursday morning and temperatures will remain in the 20s.
