Weather Alert in New Hampshire
Blizzard Warning issued February 22 at 1:37AM EST until February 23 at 10:00PM EST by NWS Gray ME
AREAS AFFECTED: Coastal Rockingham
DESCRIPTION: * WHAT...Blizzard conditions expected. Total snow accumulations between 10 and 14 inches. Winds gusting as high as 50 mph. * WHERE...Coastal Rockingham County. * WHEN...From 7 PM this evening to 10 PM EST Monday. * IMPACTS...Visibilities may drop below 1/4 mile due to falling and blowing snow. The strong winds and weight of snow on tree limbs may down power lines and could cause sporadic power outages. Whiteout conditions are expected and will make travel treacherous and potentially life-threatening. The potential exists for snowbands that will bring periods of locally heavy snowfall, which will lead to rapid snow accumulations and extremely dangerous travel conditions. Heavy wet snow will cause weighted tree limbs, leading to snapped branches, downed trees, and an elevated power outage threat. Significant snowfall and periods of heavy snowfall rates will combine with low visibility to create very dangerous driving conditions. Widespread blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility. The hazardous conditions could impact the Monday morning and evening commutes. Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects and break some tree limbs. The power outage threat is elevated.
INSTRUCTION: Travel should be restricted to emergencies only. If you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle. The latest road conditions can be obtained by going to newengland511.org Persons should consider delaying all travel. Motorists should use extreme caution if travel is absolutely necessary.

Fog is technically a type of stratus cloud, which lies along the
ground and obscures visibility.
It is usually created when humidity in the air condenses into tiny water droplets.
Because of this, some places are more prone to foggy weather, such as regions
close to a body of water.
Fog is similar to mist; both are the appearance of water droplets suspended in
the air, but fog is the term applied to the condition when visibility is less than 1 km.

Freezing rain is a condition where precipitation which has fallen in the form of
water droplets reaches temperatures which are below freezing and freezes upon
coming into contact
with surface objects. The result of this precipitation is a glaze of ice which
can be damaging to plants and man-made structures. A severe onset of freezing
rain which results in a very thick glaze of ice is known as an ice storm.
