A significant winter storm continues to impact New England, with a winter storm warning in effect for nearly all of the state of Connecticut, New Hampshire, and parts of Massachusetts. The storm is expected to bring accumulating snow throughout the afternoon and evening, creating hazardous conditions for travel. According to the National Weather Service, snowfall amounts could range from a few inches to over a foot in some areas, particularly in higher elevations. In Connecticut, forecasts predict total snow accumulations of 5 to 10 inches, while parts of New Hampshire could see up to 12 inches of snow. ‘Travel could be very difficult to impossible,’ warned the National Weather Service, urging residents to prepare for potentially life-threatening conditions. Visibility may be reduced to less than a quarter mile at times, making driving dangerous. The storm is expected to taper off by late evening, but the snowfall could lead to school cancellations and disruptions in local services. Local authorities are advising residents to stay indoors if possible, and to keep emergency supplies on hand. Weather advisories are in place for multiple counties as meteorologists monitor the system’s progress and accumulation rates closely. As this winter storm unfolds, it serves as a reminder of the unpredictable and often severe weather conditions that can occur in New England during the winter months.
