The snow is still expected to have a total snow of 12-18 inches in southern New Hampshire and southern Maine before tapering off late in the afternoon.
A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for the entire area as the National Weather Service is expecting snow to fall heavy at times between late Saturday night and most of Sunday.
Superintendent Tim Matheney said the threat was not related to active shooting incidents reported at ten Maine schools Tuesday, which all turned out to be false.
