Heavy snow bands may dump at least 6 inches in large swaths of New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine, and another storm may hit later this week.

National Weather Service meteorologist John Palmer says winds will pick up as temperatures drop today, making driving dangerous.

But he says the season's first storm is not unusual.

Locals should be thankful, Palmer says, that the affected commute is this week rather than over the holiday travel rush.
