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.
