Light Refreshes
Updated 12 hours ago Sam Collentine
Mostly light snow continues on Saturday morning. Dry from midday Saturday through Sunday evening. Another round of snow arrives Sunday night and into Monday morning. We could receive off-and-on snow showers from Tuesday through next Friday, though I'm not expecting much. Another shot for deeper totals around Sunday (1/24). Unclear for the final week of January.

Snowflakes return, powder possible
Updated 14 hours ago Joel Gratz
On Saturday morning, snow is falling on the northern mountains and we should see a coating to a few inches of accumulation. On Sunday night into Monday morning, another few inches should fall on the northern mountains. Then from Monday night through Tuesday, the southern mountains could see significant snow with powder possible on Tuesday.

Snow returns to Northern New England this weekend
Updated 1 day ago Alan Smith
A storm will bring a good round of snow to higher elevations in Northern New England on Saturday with additional light snow expected in the days to follow. A series of weak storms will bring snow to British Columbia, Washington, and the Northern/Central Rockies over the next several days as well. The Sierras and Central/Southern Rockies will be more favored from Jan 21st-25th.
