Strong nor’easters hit New England from Sunday to Tuesday, February 22, and a blizzard warning was issued for coastal areas.
The warning is in effect for coastal Rockingham County from 7 p.m. Sunday to 10 p.m. Monday, with 10 to 14 inches of snow possible and wind gusts as high as 50 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
“Visibility may drop to less than 1/4 mile due to falling and blowing snow. Strong winds and snow on tree branches may overwhelm power lines and may cause scattered power outages,” the warning reads. “Whiteout conditions are expected, which will make travel hazardous and potentially life-threatening. Snow bands may bring locally heavy snow, which will lead to rapid snow accumulation and extremely hazardous travel conditions. Heavy, wet snow will weigh down tree branches, causing broken branches, downed trees, and an increased threat of power outages.”
