Snowstorm Downgraded as Sun, Not Flakes, Expected to Cover Seacoast
Hampton and North Hampton won't get the expected massive amounts of snow, but could still have slippery conditions if the forecasts are accurate.
Area officials are asking drivers to use caution Tuesday morning, even though roadways may seemingly be safe thanks to light snow accumulation and the downgrading of a storm that some meteorologists originally predicted would bring up to 12 inches of snow.
The National Weather Service was among the many weather agencies predicting large amounts of snow for Hampton and North Hampton late Monday and during the day Tuesday, although the storm warning has been lifted for the area.
Hampton and North Hampton are now expected to get only 1 to 2 inches of snow Tuesday, and no local schools have canceled classes.
