Spring-Like Temperatures Return To New Hampshire -- With Freezing Rain And Snow In Between Concord, NH - Just when it seemed like winter was finally starting to loosen its grip on the Granite State, Mother Nature threw a curveball. After a stretch of mild temperatures in the mid-50s, a blast of cold air brought freezing rain and snow to parts of New Hampshire. The unseasonable warmth had residents thinking about spring just a little bit sooner than usual, with some areas even breaking out their shorts and t-shirts for a brief respite from the cold. But that warm spell was short-lived, as a low-pressure system moved in overnight bringing temperatures plummeting back down to the mid-20s. The National Weather Service issued a freezing rain advisory for much of southern New Hampshire, including Hillsborough, Cheshire, and Merrimack counties, warning of slippery roads and reduced visibility. The cold air also led to snowfall totals ranging from 1-3 inches in areas such as Manchester and Nashua. Despite the return of wintry conditions, many residents are taking it in stride, knowing that this is just a typical New Hampshire spring - unpredictable and full of twists and turns. As one resident joked, "It's like Mother Nature is trying to keep us on our toes!" As for when the real spring will arrive, forecasters say it's still too early to predict with certainty. But for now, residents can expect more of the same: warm-ish temperatures followed by cold snaps, and a mix of rain and snow in between.
