Powerful Storm System Bringing Frozen Precipitation, Snow on Mount Washington, and a Boat Aground in Hampton as Cold Air Surges Into New Hampshire and Massachusetts
NEW ENGLAND — A powerful and still-cranking storm system is battering New England Saturday morning, hauling in a boatload of cold air that is dropping temperatures steadily across the region while frozen precipitation continues to show up on radar across portions of New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts.
The storm has already produced dramatic impacts including a boat breaking free in Hampton, New Hampshire and running aground on the rocks in the Hampton River, while snow is accumulating at the Mount Washington Observatory and Cog Railway as the cold air pushes aggressively into the higher elevations.
Frozen Precipitation Hanging on Radar as Temperatures Continue Dropping All Morning
Radar at 9:45AM shows widespread green coverage blanketing New Hampshire and Vermont from Concord and Manchester through the White Mountain National Forest zone, with frozen precipitation signatures visible across the higher terrain zones. Temperatures have been dropping consistently throughout the morning as the storm system continues pulling cold air into the region from the north.
The low pressure center is positioned near the Boston and Salem corridor, keeping the most active precipitation focused across southern New Hampshire and northeastern Massachusetts through the morning. The system shows no signs of weakening quickly as it continues to haul cold air into the region.
