Travel looks to be slippery for much of the day Saturday up north. Travelers in southern areas will have to contend with slippery roads due to snow and mixing early then road ponding the rest of the day due to the heavy rain.
All precipitation will wrap up by midnight Saturday Night.
At this point, areas in the mountains and North Country have the potential to see a foot of snow, or perhaps more.
Just south, from Plymouth down through Lebanon to Laconia, there’s a chance for 6-12 inches. This is the trickiest area to forecast and where the uncertainty in snowfall amounts remains. It depends on just how long snow hangs on before converting to rain and how far north that changeover goes.
