Rain, Ice, Snow, Flooding All Possible With Latest Storm

The latest storm to sweep through New England is bringing with it a bit of everything: rain, ice, snow and even the possibility of flooding.
 
Tom Hawley from the National Weather Service says snow that began falling Monday will change over to freezing rain and rain on Tuesday in many locations.
 
He said there could be a quarter of an inch of ice buildup in central Maine and New Hampshire, causing slick roads and raising worries about some power outages. At the same time, rainfall and ice jams are causing worries of flooding closer to the coast.
 
Hawley said ice buildup will be least in northern areas, where the snow could be heavy, and along the coast, where there will be mostly rain.
