A spring storm that delivered heavy rain and snow to parts of the Northeast raked northern New England with steady rainfall on Monday. The National Weather Service put much of New Hampshire and western Maine under a flood watch. Forecaster Tom Hawley said despite heavy rain, flooding was expected to be minor. Nonetheless, officials are keeping tabs on rivers and streams. Police in Goffstown, N.H., said they were keeping a close watch on the Piscataquog River because there’s the potential the river could peak near flood stage within the next two days. Officials in Maine closed some bridges in Clinton, Kingfield and Washington because fast moving water was eroding structures.
But that storm also produced snow — and lots of it — in some parts of the Northeast, unleashing a burst of winter and up to a foot of snow in higher elevations inland. It prompted the closing of some schools and sparked concerns of power outages.
