Very wintry weather is likely this week. Tonight there is a winter weather advisory for the lakes region as we'll see 3 to 5 inches of snow. This will be very fluffy snow, as temps are in the teens and dewpoints in the single numbers. The most snow will fall in the southern part of the area. A winter storm warning is in effect for the southern part of the state south of a line from about Lebanon-Concord-Rochester. Along this line I would expect about 6 inches of snow to fall tonight and tomorrow. South of this line, amounts of 8 inches are possible, with the average being 6. South of the Massachusetts border, a few places may have 10-inch totals with the average being about 7 inches.

We'll have another chance of snow on Tuesday.

The real story is what happens when Tuesday's storm departs. Temperatures in Alaska and neighboring Yukon Territory are currently as low as -54 F. This air will be making its way towards us this week. Tuesday's storm will pull it down from Canada. This air won't be moderating much because of the snowcover we now have.

Between Wednesday and Saturday I would not be surprised to see at least one station in the lakes region reach a low of -20 F. Highs on Thursday and Friday will likely stay around zero... perhaps as high as 5 degrees.
