...Wintry Precipitation to Impact New England Thursday into

.Complex areas of low pressure are expected to impact the region
Thursday and again on Friday. Wintry precipitation will begin in
southern New Hampshire early Thursday morning, and will spread
into the remainder of New Hampshire and western Maine by the
morning rush hour. Although there will be a gap in precipitation
for some areas Thursday night into Friday morning, the potential
for a wintry mix of precipitation will continue, with additional
accumulating snowfall possible Friday. This will make for slick
morning and evening commutes both days.
