METEOROLOGIST IN SACO, BACK TO
YOU.
NOW YOUR FORECAST.
AND A PORTION OF THE STORM IS
GOING TO BE IN THE SOUTH EASTERN
HALF TO THIRD OF THE STATE.
THERE ARE SOME AREAS WITH A FOOT
OF SNOW ALREADY.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE FLUFF
FACTOR BEFORE.
ADD IN THAT YOU GET CLOSER TO
THE SHORELINE, AND IT IS A
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY IN
SOUTH EASTERN AREAS AS IT IS
FARTHER WEST AND FARTHER NORTH
WHERE YOU ARE REMOVED FROM THE
STRONGEST WINDS BECAUSE YOU ARE
FARTHER REMOVED FROM THE STORM
CENTER ITSELF.
YOU SEE THAT CONTINUING TO LIFT
ITS WAY NORTHWARD.
IT IS GOING TO BE A LONG
DURATION SITUATION.
THE HEAVIEST PORTION OF THE
STORM AND THAT BAND THAT YOU SEE
THERE IN SOUTH EASTERN AREAS
INCHES ITS WAY BACK TO THE NORTH
AND WEST.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR THE SNOW AND
INTENSITY THROUGH TONIGHT BEFORE
WRAPPING UP TOMORROW MORNING.
THEN THE WINDS WILL BE AROUND.
UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE SAME AREAS
THAT SAW THE HEAVIER SNOWFALL
OVER THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE
HOURS, THE BAND ISN'T MOVING
THAT MUCH.
IT IS GOING TO SET UP AN
EMERGENCY DISPARITY OF ALMOST 15
TO 20 INCHES OF SNOW DIFFERENCE
BY THE TIME IT PANS OUT.
YOU'LL NOTICE A LINE GOING FROM
ROCHESTER DOWN THROUGH NASHUA.
IN THAT LINE IS SNOWFALL RATES
OF ONE TO THREE INCHES PER HOUR.
WITH THE FLUFF GOING ON, IT IS
PILING UP RATHER QUICKLY.
FARTHER NORTH AND WEST, YOU ARE
STILL WAITING ON THE
ACCUMULATION.
MAYBE A STRAY INCH OR TWO AND
FLURRIES STARTING TO DEVELOP.
ONE OF THE HEAVIEST HIT TOWNS SO
FAR IS NEARLY OR JUST ABOVE A
FOOT OF SNOW.
LET'S HEAD OUT TO HAYLEY LAPOINT
AND HOW MUCH SNOW THEY HAVE
THERE IN NASHUA.
HI, KEVIN.
WE'RE GOING TO OFFICIALLY SAY
ABOUT 14 HERE IN NASHUA.
IT IS GETTING TOUGHER AND THE
TOUGHER TO MEASURE SNOW AT OUR
LOCATION.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE PLOWING.
JUST THE WINDS HAVE BEEN
WHIPPING IT UP TOO.
THE REASON THAT WE HAVE THE HIGH
TOTAL IS THE SNOW HAS CONTINUED
TO FALL HEAVILY.
IT IS NOT ONLY THE SMALL
PALETTE, BUT THE BIG BUNCHES OF
SNOW THAT ARE FULL OF AIR.
WHEN IT ACCUMULATES, IT
ACCUMULATES QUICKLY.
IT IS SO COLD WITH THE WIND THAT
IT FEELS SUBZERO.
KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN YOU ARE
GETTING READY TO HEAD OUT.
AN UPTATE ON THE TOTALS, THE
HIGHEST AMOUNTS IN WINDHAM.
13 INCHES THERE.
HAMPTON 12 AND ROCHESTER 11.
MANCHESTER REPORTS ABOUT 15 TO
20 MILES NORTH OF WHERE I'M
STANDING SIGNIFICANTLY LESS
SNOW.
5.5 INCHES OF SNOW REPORTED
THERE.
SO THE OTHER THING THAT WE HAVE
TO KEEP IN MIND, IT IS GOING TO
BE COLD AND CONTINUING TO SNOW
LIKE THIS FOR THE NEXT FEW
HOURS.
WE'VE GOT A LONG WAY TO TWO HERE
IN NASHUA.
IT IS CONCEIVABLE THAT WE CAN
GET UP TO THE TWO FOOT POINT.
WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK INTO YOU,
KEVIN.
HAYLEY LIVE IN NASHUA.
DOING THE WORK OUT THERE.
WE CONTINUE TO WATCH THE WINDS
GUST.
WE HAD A GUST OF 30 TO 35 MILES
AN HOUR.
THAT CONTINUES OFF AND THE ON
THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON.
YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE THE LOWER
VISIBILITY.
YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF
BLOWING AND DRIFTING.
THE FARTHER INLAND YOU GO AND
THE FARTHER NORTH YOU GO, THE
EFFECTS WILL BE LESS THAN CLOSER
TO THE SHORELINE.
THAT'S WHY THE BLIZZARD
SHORELINE IS POSTED FOR AREAS
CLOSER TO THE SHORELINE.
IT IS WINTER STORM WARNINGS
FARTHER TO THE WEST AND NORTH.
YOU NOTICE BY 1:00 WHAT IS OUT
THERE NOW ESSENTIALLY CONTINUES.
AS WE GET PAST 2:00 OR 3:00,
FUTURE CAST POINTING AT THE
POSSIBILITY THIS MAY START TO
FALL APART.
STILL SNOWING IN VARYING
INTENSITIES.
AT TIMES LIGHT SNOW.
THEN IT IS ALL BUT GONE TOMORROW
MORNING.
WITH CLEARING SKIES, WE GET A
BIT OF A BREAK.
I MENTION A LITTLE BIT.
THERE ALREADY ANOTHER SYSTEM.
IT WON'T BE A COASTAL STORM.
IT WILL BE MAKING ITS WAY IN
FROM THE GREAT LAKES.
THAT WILL PROVIDE MORE SNOW.
WE'LL CONCENTRATE ON THAT
TOMORROW.
TODAY WE'RE LOOKING AT A FOOT
AND A HALF TO TWO FEET PLUS IN
SOME SOUTH EASTERN AREAS.
AT THE HEAVIER BANDS HAVE SET
UP.
FARTHER BACK TO THE NORTH AND
WEST.
WE HAVE ALL TODAY TO GO BEFORE
IT TAPERS OFF.
THAT IS WHEN THE WIND WILL START
TO DIMINISH AS WELL.
THE EXTENDED FORECAST SHOWS THE
BREAKS FOR TOMORROW AND
THURSDAY.
MAYBE ANOTHER ONE AFTER THE
WEEKEND.
IF YOU HAD TRAVEL PLANS, YOU
