The lakes region is now under a winter weather advisory for a snowfall of up to 6 inches, Friday afternoon and night.

This is the result of a storm getting organized over the middle of the nation and it will move east quickly, passing just south of Long Island tomorrow night. Any change in the storm track to the north or to the south will also adjust the snow belt the same amount of distance.

Right now it appears that an average of 6 inches will fall in the Concord area with higher amounts south of there, and lesser amounts to the north. I would say 4 inches as an average for the lake. Boston and Hartford will get a foot out of this one.

I agree with R2B, keep your eyes on Sunday night.

The combination of heavy snow and extreme cold that we are expecting in the next week should be a VERY good thing for the NH ski economy with Christmas vacation coming up, and this is a make-or-break time of year for the ski areas. The extreme cold that will occupy us in between snowstorms will allow the ski areas to blast their slopes with their own snow on top of what falls.
