UNDATED (AP) Snow, sleet and freezing rain has moved into northern New England, and more snow is expected Friday that could bring anywhere from just a few inches along the coast to up to 20 inches in parts of northern Vermont.

In New Hampshire, numerous schools were closed Thursday due to the weather. Some spinouts and minor crashes were reported on highways.

A National Weather Service forecaster say parts of western and northern Maine and northern New Hampshire could see more than a foot before the two-day storm ends Friday afternoon.
