...Another round of snow Today into Thursday...

.More snow is on the way for parts of northern New England as a
strong system dives out of Canada and redevelops over the Gulf of
Maine. The storm will approach the region early today...moving
through the Gulf of Maine overnight into Thursday.

The lowest confidence in snowfall is along the coast of western
Maine and the Seacoast of New Hampshire...where snow may mix with
rain for a time during the day Wednesday. Even if a change to
rain occurs near the coast...precipitation will likely change
quickly back to snow in the evening and will become heavy at
times. This poses a significant hazard for travelers on the roads
at that time.

Otherwise...moderate to heavy snow accumulations are possible
across mainly western Maine...and much of New Hampshire.

This will also add to the running total that has seen many areas
receive nearly three feet of snow in the last week. The weight of
the recent snowfall will likely become a hazard for some
rooftops. Also...heavy wet snow near the coastline may lead to
isolated power outages if snowfall starts to bring down tree
limbs.
