Up-close look at area of Thursday night/Friday morning freezing rain and sleet

Here's a closer inspection of areas we expect to be impacted by sleet and freezing rain.  Though isolated power outages are possible, chances are good freezing rain changes primarily to plain rain before anything more substantial happens, but ice on untreated surfaces will remain possible into Friday morning.

Final Forecast Accumulations for Thursday night/Friday storm

I'm posting this remotely from the Red Cross blood donor site in Dedham, MA, so I'll keep it quick!  Not much snow expected in Central and Southern New England.  Even the Northern New England numbers may be too high if more sleet mixes in, which is entirely possible.

Remainder of New England:

Thursday snowfall not expected to be significant for many, though Central New England freezing rain will cause some problems

Northern New England is expected to receive the bulk of the snow from Thursday night/Friday's storm.  Ski areas will do well, but the biggest beneficiaries are likely to be the snowmobiling trails of the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, Northern New Hampshire, and Northern/Northwestern Maine.  Farther south, less wintry precipitation is expected.  Central New England is likely to see a couple of inches of snowfall before a change to sleet and freezing rain, which should cause icy spots along/north of Route 2 in Northern Massachusetts (outside of Route 495) into Southern Vermont and Southern/Central New Hampshire.  Farther south, a brief burst of snow and mix late Thursday evening into the first part of the night is likely to flip to rain after midnight, with heavy rain Friday morning.
