Snowfall in New Hampshire prompts the cancellation of afternoon and evening activities in several schools on Tuesday. The weather system, bringing snow and wintry mix, is expected to cause slippery conditions, especially during the evening commute. While the snowfall is not significant, the timing is crucial, making roads hazardous. The state is under a Winter Weather Advisory through early Wednesday, with most areas north and west of Manchester expected to receive 2 to 4 inches of snow. However, some higher elevations around the Lakes Region and the White Mountains could see up to 6 inches. The precipitation is likely to start as a wintry mix and rain in far southern New Hampshire, making roads even more treacherous. Schools and institutions have taken precautionary measures, canceling afternoon and evening activities to ensure the safety of students and staff. The weather conditions are expected to improve by Wednesday morning, with a nice day of weather forecast for the state. As the system moves through, it will bring wintry conditions to the Washington, DC area and central Pennsylvania, with mostly snow expected. High pressure is creating clear skies and a very cold feel, with temperatures in Manchester dropping to 8 degrees. Many areas north of Lake Winnipesaukee are near or below zero. The day will start with partial sun and temperatures in the teens and 20s, but it will warm up in the afternoon, with cloudy skies and temperatures above freezing. The snow and wintry mix will develop later in the evening, with temperatures hovering close to 32 degrees. Despite the wet and pasty nature of the snow, it may tend to be lighter later in the night. The reward for enduring the wintry conditions is a preview of early spring, with high temperatures in the 40s and near 50 degrees on Wednesday. However, another system could bring messy weather on Thursday night into Friday, so residents are advised to stay tuned for updates.
