A winter weather warning has been issued for a US state with officials urging motorists to stay off the road.
The warning has been in place from Sunday evening and continues throughout the day on Monday as gusty winds and snow will cause hazardous conditions for drivers in New Hampshire, US.
Officials are using salt trucks to try and keep the roads clear as heavy snow is predicted.
Richard Arcand, from the New Hampshire Department of Transportation, said there are under 600 crews gritting the roads for drivers.
However, he admitted half of the drivers are contractors as the state is short of around 180 drivers.
He added commuters should leave earlier and expect delays when heading into work on Monday morning as crews try to keep the roads safe.
Mr Arcand said: "The safest spot is is back behind the plough. And folks really just to take their time and get home safely."
The storm is expected to bring heavy snow across the region along with blustery winds which could bring down trees and wires, which have already been affected by last week's storm.
And with many storms already this year leaving residents out of power, there are plans to fix any potential outages, according to Eversource.
Sgt. Gregg DeLuca, from New Hampshire State Police, said it was important drivers leave plenty of room in front of other cars due to the icy conditions.
He said: "Anytime we get snow, there's always going to be crashes.
“Leave plenty of room in between you in the car in front of you. If you see a crash and you see a trooper or police officer, share the road, please move over.
"We don't want to crash into you either.
"And then eventually when the storm's over with, you want to be able to clear the snow off the roof and obey the Jessica’s Law."
However, police have urged drivers to stay off the road to prevent any accidents and said to only travel if essential.
They also have asked drivers to watch their speed.
Merrimack Fire Department Assistant Chief Dan Newman said anyone who is clearing the snow from their homes or cars should use the right tools in order not to injure themselves.
He said: "Starting off, those of us who are a little less active in the winter probably should stretch before we go out there and use those muscles that we haven't used before.
"Coupled with that is layering up. Layer up when you get out there; it's going to be cold when you start, and then you're going to quickly heat up."
