Snow to Bring Travel Delays in New England Sunday

A fresh blanket of snow will cause slippery roads on another busy travel day across northern New England.
The snow will arrive on Sunday, which is a bad time for travelers returning home from their Thanksgiving holiday trips.
Snowfall is not expected to be heavy, but it will reduce visibility and coat the roads enough to create some slick spots.

Travel on Interstates 89, 91, 93 and 95 can be slow at times from northern Vermont to Maine.
The snow can also cause delays at the airports in Burlington, Vt., and Bangor, Maine.
Closer to the coast, including in Portland, Maine, snow showers will mix with rain showers.

While snow is not expected to accumulate on the roads in that area, the precipitation could cause some delays at Portland International Jetport.
For area ski resorts, the timing of the snow is welcome, as many are open during the holiday weekend.
Portions of Maine can have 1 to 3 inches of snow on Sunday, while amounts across the rest of northern New England will generally be an inch or less.
Another storm system could bring rain, snow and gusty coastal winds to parts of New England on Monday into Tuesday.
