Heavy, wet snow and wind from the late winter storm that tore through the region Wednesday into Thursday resulted in scattered power outages.

As of 4:50 p.m., Eversource was reporting that over 20%, or 109,204, of its customers in New Hampshire were without power with Gilford seeing the second most outages with 4,507 – it nearly tied with Rochester, which had 4,508.

Nearly 19% of Unitil customers in New Hampshire, or 14,897, were affected by power outages at the same time. Multiple outages were reported for downtown Concord with areas of Penacook also affected, Unitil reporting that 1,132, or 5.3%, of its customers in the capital were without power, a drop from the 6% reported around noon Thursday. Outages were also reported in Bow, Webster, Salisbury and Canterbury.

Unitil said early Thursday afternoon that the company anticipates multi-day restoration efforts due to the wet snow and winds that are forecast to continue through the evening.

Multiple roads were closed due to low hanging wires, or wires down, according to Concord General Services.

Several Concord city offices and services planned to close at 2 p.m.Thursday, including City Hall, the main and Penacook branches of the library, and general services. The citywide community center planned to stay open until 4:30 p.m.

Concord has extended its on-street parking ban to Friday after initially calling one for Wednesday night into Thursday. During this time, cars are not allowed to park on the street to let plows clear snow. Any cars in violation of the ban could be ticketed and towed.

Free parking is available in city garages at 7 p.m. Thursday through 8 a.m. Friday for permit or lease spaces, and 9 a.m. for metered spaces. Garages include those on School, State and Storrs streets. Penacook residents can park in the Canal Street municipal lot even though it’s posted for no overnight parking. Residents should only use the spaces on the south side along Canal Street.

Really Bad Chess

As the storm was just moving into the region Wednesday night, state police were called to I-89 southbound in Warner for a fully loaded tractor-trailer that had rolled over near mile marker 21.6. The driver was uninjured and the truck was the only vehicle involved. The driver, from Ontario, was uninjured.

Two additional truck crashes also resulted in drivers being cited for traveling too fast for the conditions. State police said they responded to a crash involving a truck striking an overhead sign structure southbound on the Everett Turnpike in Nashua Thursday morning. A few hours later, two tractor trailers reportedly collided on I-93 southbound in Salem after one jackknifed while reportedly passing the other on the right.

The storm isn’t over yet – a wintry mix is forecast to continue into Friday.
