After a chance for snow squalls on Friday and brutal wind chills Saturday morning, a winter storm is expected to bring a foot of snow or more to many in Maine.

Heavy snow, ice and brutal cold are expected to make this winter storm a potentially life-threatening weather event for 35 states.

Heavy snow looks to spread into southern Maine especially, with more than a foot possible.

Sweeping across the country from Texas to Maine, the winter storm will begin to dump heavy snow and ice on southern states on Saturday morning. However, the storm is not expected to reach New England until Sunday, bringing frigid temperatures and up to a foot of snow with it.

Due to the incoming Arctic air, the NWS has issued a cold weather advisory for the entire state of New Hampshire and an extreme cold watch for Coos, Grafton, Carroll and Belknap counties, warning that frostbite and hypothermia can happen in as little as 10 minutes if skin is exposed to these temperatures.

Most of the Portland International Jetport's airlines are allowing passengers to change their flights.

Here is a timeline of when and where the major winter storm will arrive, and what up-to-date forecasts predict it will deliver.

Winter storm warnings issued for Maine, Michigan, and Alaska with up to 9 inches snow and dangerous travel through January 12.

While the storm's worst impacts will be in southern states, the system will bring extreme cold and accumulating snow to New Hampshire.

Most airlines that serve the Portland International Jetport have already said passengers can rebook flights scheduled for Sunday or Monday
