A clipper spreads into northern New Hampshire, western and northern Maine, Vermont, and southern Quebec Friday evening, peaks overnight, and lingers as lighter mountain snow showers into Saturday night. Snow levels generally stay from the surface to about 1,000 feet while it is snowing, so this is a mostly all-snow refresh for every resort in the region.
Thursday night through Saturday trends warm and mostly quiet, and guidance is converging on that timing and lower-impact intensity. Expect only spotty lingering snow showers early, then long dry breaks with mountain temperatures generally in the upper 20s to lower 40s and snow levels often around 8,000 to 10,500 feet.
A high-confidence Friday afternoon through Saturday storm brings a solid shot of snow to much of New England, with improving snow quality as colder air filters in Friday night. Expect a brief period of denser, lower-elevation snow at the onset in the south and along the coast, then a trend to lighter, drier snow overnight as temperatures fall and snow-to-liquid ratios climb.
