MANCHESTER, NH — It’s time to kiss your lawn good-bye.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory beginning 3 a.m. Friday through 1 p.m.

The peak of the purple zone is 6 a.m. Plan accordingly.

The National Weather Service in Gray, Maine, says we’re in for some snow — 3 to 6 inches accumulation, depending on where exactly you are. To make it interesting, the Weather Underground says 1-3 inches.

Of course, it’s the weather in New Hampshire, so we’ll see what happens. But you can expect everything from school delays to a slow commute.

* Timing: Snow will move in to New Hampshire after midnight, and along the southwestern Maine coastline closer to day break. Snow will be heaviest Friday morning, around the morning commute. Snow will quickly taper off early Friday afternoon.

* Impacts: Once snow begins roads are expected to quickly become snow covered and slippery. Snow may fall at a rate of one-inch per hour Friday morning, leading to low visibility in addition to hazardous road conditions.

* Winds: North 5 to 10 mph with gusts up to 20 mph.

* Temperatures: In the lower 30s.

Precautionary/preparedness actions:  A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods of snow will cause primarily travel difficulties. Be prepared for snow-covered roads and limited visibility for motorists.

⇒Forecasters say we’re still in for more snow on Tuesday, which is Primary election day, so plan ahead if you plan to vote.
