Snow starting this morning

Flurries have begun to fall across Keene. Radar returns are still only between 5dBZ and 10 dBZ, these should increase by 8am this morning the batch of precipitation moves further northeast. Dewpoints are up to 10F in Keene which should support snow reaching the ground as soon as it begins.

As I alluded to yesteday, the models have shifted back south a bit, and have undercut water equivalent. Will likely see .3" to .35" of water. Current thinking is 4" to 5" for total snow accumulations by midnight tonight. Although, the snow may wrap up a little sooner than that.

Time period for heaviest snow will be between 2pm and 6pm. Due to the timing, it is still questionable whether we have an early dismissal or not.
