Freezing Rain Glazes Inland Maine and New Hampshire as Morning Commute Turns Hazardous

Overnight gusts with a sharp cooldown could trigger outages where ice clings to trees.

Overview

  • A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for interior areas this morning, with freezing rain producing slick, hazardous roads.
  • WMUR reports several closures across New Hampshire linked to the ice storm.
  • Ice accretion is forecast to reach roughly a quarter to a half inch in parts of northern and central New Hampshire, with about one to two tenths in interior Maine.
  • Temperatures near the coast should climb above freezing by midday, changing freezing rain to plain rain and limiting icing along shorelines.
  • A cold front tonight will shift focus to wind and cold, with westerly gusts of 20–35 mph and lows in the teens leading to very cold wind chills on Tuesday.
