State Police and New Hampshire Department of Transportation reported numerous crashes by mid-day. Around noon, a crash on the F.E.

As of 11 a.m., there were a few delays and cancellations at Manchester Boston Regional Airport, but it's unclear if it was related to snowfall. In its winter weather advisory, the airport recommends travelers contact their airline for flight status.
State plow crews continue to be out treating and clearing roadways. The speed limit on Interstate 89, from Warner to the Vermont line, was lowered to 45 mph. Bill Boynton, spokesman for New Hampshire Department of Transportation, urged motorists to slow down.
"People need to expect roads to be slippery today, and slow down, and allow extra time," Boynton tells NHPR's Morning Edition. "At the moment we've got difficult driving conditions in sections of Grafton and Upper Merrimack counties, as well as Sullivan County, and that's expected to continue as the snow increases in intensity."
Chris Legro, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, reports that northern New Hampshire will see upward of 9-inches of snow. He says 2-4 inches of snow is expected at the coast and in southern New Hampshire, before it turns to a snow and mostly rain mix.
"We are expecting that snow to continue through most of the day, except for far southern and southeast portions of the state where some rain may mix in, early afternoon," Legro says.
School Closings
School closings include Bow, Claremont, Concord, Dunbarton, Dover, Durham, Franklin, Lebanon, Hanover, Kearsarge Regional, Kingswood Regional, Laconia, Plymouth, and the Oyster River schools, Governor Wentworth and Middleton schools.
Some schools have delays, such as Sanborn Regional, with a two-hour delay.
The seacoast region is expected to get less than an inch of snow, with mostly rain in the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
The forecast calls for more than a half of a foot of snow in northern New Hampshire. The southern tier is now under a winter weather advisory, with the exception of the coastal communities.
