#mountain-snow

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.

Federal climate forecasters say the atmosphere is shifting into a more typical late-season La Niña setup, with the main storm track sliding north as milder air flows in from the Pacific. That favors warmer-than-normal conditions across most of the Rockies, Plains, Midwest, and East, with the strongest signal for warmth centered on the south-central Plains and lower Mississippi Valley. Colder-than-normal temperatures are most likely in Alaska and may clip parts of the northern High Plains and Pacific Northwest.
