Northeastern US Braces for Spring Snowstorms and Power Outages

A strong storm is expected to bring wet snow, heavy rain, and gusty winds to New Hampshire on Wednesday and Thursday, prompting a winter storm watch for the entire state except for coastal areas. The storm will bring a long-duration period of wet snow and a wintry mix, with up to a foot or more of heavy, wet snow possible in parts of the state. The snow's consistency will be heavy and wet, combined with winds gusting over 35-40 mph, leading to scattered power outages. Concerns also arise at the coastline, with minor to moderate coastal flooding and minor beach erosion possible. Conditions are expected to gradually improve over the weekend, with a total solar eclipse occurring in parts of northern New Hampshire on Monday.
