This morning, December 5, 2024, over 300 schools and institutions in New Hampshire have reported closures, delayed starts, or transitions to remote learning as a result of a significant snowstorm moving through the region. As snow continues to blanket the state, the winter weather has created hazardous road conditions, making travel difficult, especially for early commuters. The snow began falling on the evening of December 4, and it’s expected to intensify through Thursday morning, with various parts of New Hampshire facing slick, snowy roads.
The New Hampshire winter storm has caught many by surprise, with schools and institutions taking swift action to ensure the safety of students and staff. More than 300 schools have announced delays or full closures, with a few switching to remote learning.

The storm's impact is not only being felt by schools but by travelers as well. Snow is expected to accumulate differently across the state. In inland areas, especially towards the foothills of Maine, 3 to 5 inches of snow are predicted. Meanwhile, central and southern parts of New Hampshire could see as much as 6 to 8 inches, and the higher elevations may experience even greater snow accumulation. In the Seacoast area, however, the storm will bring a rain-snow mix rather than heavy snow.
Compounding the winter storm is the potential for strong wind gusts, which could reach up to 40 miles per hour. These gusts, along with the snow, may make driving conditions even more treacherous. The National Weather Service has also warned about the possibility of reduced visibility as the snow blows around. Fortunately, the winds are expected to die down by Friday night, providing a break from the harsh conditions.
While the storm may ease by Thursday afternoon, the cold weather will stick around. After the snowstorm moves out, New Hampshire residents will face very low temperatures, with wind chills bringing the feel of single-digit temperatures. Forecasters are predicting that the next couple of days will see temperatures 5 to 15 degrees below the historical average for this time of year.
As always, it’s crucial for residents to stay informed through reliable sources, like the WMUR app, which provides real-time updates about school closures, delays, and weather alerts. While the storm may cause some inconvenience, the safety of the community remains the priority, and preparations are being made to minimize disruptions.
