Blizzard Warning
Issued: 6:38 AM Feb. 22, 2026 – National Weather Service
...BLIZZARD WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM THIS EVENING TO 10 PM EST MONDAY... * WHAT...Blizzard conditions expected. Total snow accumulations between 10 and 14 inches. Winds gusting as high as 50 mph. * WHERE...Coastal Rockingham County. * WHEN...From 7 PM this evening to 10 PM EST Monday. * IMPACTS...Visibilities may drop below 1/4 mile due to falling and blowing snow. The strong winds and weight of snow on tree limbs may down power lines and could cause sporadic power outages. Whiteout conditions are expected and will make travel treacherous and potentially life-threatening. The potential exists for snowbands that will bring periods of locally heavy snowfall, which will lead to rapid snow accumulations and extremely dangerous travel conditions. Heavy wet snow will cause weighted tree limbs, leading to snapped branches, downed trees, and an elevated power outage threat. Significant snowfall and periods of heavy snowfall rates will combine with low visibility to create very dangerous driving conditions. Widespread blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility. The hazardous conditions could impact the Monday morning and evening commutes. Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects and break some tree limbs. The power outage threat is elevated. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Travel should be restricted to emergencies only. If you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle. The latest road conditions can be obtained by going to newengland511.org Persons should consider delaying all travel. Motorists should use extreme caution if travel is absolutely necessary. &&
