Parts of the state might see nearly 8 inches of snow this weekend as spring storm blasts through northern New England. A winter storm warning has been issued by the National Weather Service for Vermont through 8 p.

The National Weather Service said that today, as well as Tuesday and Wednesday, will see some rain, sleet and snow. The detailed weather forecast said that earlier today will have seen a mixture of sleet and rain and that the rest of the day will just have rain in the Southern Connecticut area.

A wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain is expected over the weekend in all parts of New Hampshire except the southern border and coast. The Seacoast area will be largely spared. Cheshire, Rockingham and Hillsborough counties will likely see lots of rain rather than snow, with some freezing rain possible at times.
