| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Heavy wet snow fell across Cheshire and Hillsborough Counties with amounts averaging between 6 and 8 inches. The precipitation changed to sleet and then freezing rain, causing an ice storm in much of Hillsborough County. The maximum snowfall occurred at Francestown with a total of 10 inches. Some other totals included: Westmoreland, 8 inches; Swanzey and Weare, 7.5 inches; Jaffrey, Walpole, and Peterborough, 7 inches; Temple, Hillsborough, and Wilton, 6 inches. The heavy wet snowfall caused a rash of skidding and roll-over accidents, especially during the Friday evening rush hour on January 23rd. In Manchester alone, there were ten accidents between 3 PM and 8 PM. Power outages affected as many as 31,000 households across the state of New Hampshire. In the Milford area and surrounding towns, as many as 3,100 electric customers lost power as ice-laden trees knocked down wires and poles. |
