Roads are slick and the vehicle crash count is up as northern New England copes with some heavy snow, with some places forecast for up to a foot and others expecting it to turn to rain.
Heavy snow was falling in parts of Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire on Tuesday. Hundreds of schools have closed and there have been some accidents reported. Speeds were lowered on highways. New Hampshire state troopers cleared at least six highway accidents by 10 a.m. There was no word of major injuries.
Meteorologist James Brown says most areas will experience a changeover to rain.
He says greater snow tallies are expected inland, with up to 6 inches of snow in central and southern New Hampshire, and up to a foot across northwestern Maine.
