Jaffrey, Rindge, Conval - all closed ... Not Keene? Why not? Maybe because there is concern that with a cancellation tomorrow, that's two days off in a row. Can't have that regardless of if there is already a tenth inch of icing, a winter storm warning in effect, and much more to come this afternoon. No, we can't have a cancellation, because it would be much safer to head onto the roads at 2pm to 3pm with steady sleet and freezing rain and untreated roads literally unnavigable.
Sarcasm over...
Anyway, moderate sleet and freezing rain will continue through the day, with up to .25" ice accretion and an inch of sleet possible by 3pm. After 3, precipitation will begin to increase in intensity as the coastal storm moves northward. Precipitation will fall heavy at times through tonight. Up to an inch of ice accretion, and 2 to 3 inches of sleet will accumulate by dawn. As the low moves to our northeast Friday morning, sleet and freezing rain will change to sleet and snow, and could add 2 to 3 inches of snow on top of the 4 inches of sleet / freezing rain combination.
Unless the forecast is off, which it was not this morning, I would not understand how we would not have AT LEAST a delay tomorrow.
