Officials said snow will continue through the afternoon across northern regions. Higher elevations will see the greatest accumulations.
Another round of precipitation is on tap for the weekend. That weather system could cause freezing rain and a wintry mix in the mountains.
Meanwhile, on top of Mount Washington:
