Associated Press update:
Season’s first snow storm hits flights, power
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The season’s first major snowstorm lumbered into New Hampshire Wednesday, promising up to a foot of snow in some places, choking off travel plans and knocking out power to tens of thousands of people.
Gov. Maggie Hassan ordered non-emergency state workers to go home by 3 p.m. to avoid heavyThanksgiving holiday traffic and the peak of the storm, which was expected between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.
Snow totals from a few inches to up to a foot in some places were expected and by midday, some places were already over three inches or more. The National Weather Service predicted the snow would begin to taper off after midnight.
At Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, at least a dozen arriving flights and nine departures were canceled as of Wednesday afternoon.
Several schools, colleges and businesses closed early.
State police said late Wednesday that poor weather conditions had caused dozens of crashes and hundreds of vehicles to run off the road. Authorities said five state police cruisers had been struck by motorists while parked at accident scenes. At least one trooper was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
The season’s first significant snowfall also knocked out power to utility customers. Public Service Company of New Hampshire reported 144,000 outages by late Wednesday night. Outages were caused not only by heavy snow bringing down tree branches onto power lines, but also cars running into utility poles.
Unitil reported about 22,000 New Hampshire customers without power.
There was no estimate on when the power would be restored.
Bill Boynton, a state Department of Transportation spokesman, said the state had 700-plus plows to clear roads. He said the best advice for travelers is to avoid travel if possible but if absolutely necessary, allow more travel time, leave more space between vehicles and slow down.
