Low pressure tracking northeast across Maine overnight on the 8th through the morning of the 9th brought heavy snow...sleet and freezing rain to northern and central areas. Across Downeast areas...mixed precipitation quickly transitioned to heavy rain. Precipitation initially developed during the afternoon of the 8th...then continued through the morning of the 9th.
A sharp gradient to storm total snow accumulations existed across Aroostook county. Storm total snow accumulations across exteme northern and northwest Aroostook county generally ranged from 10 to 15 inches...with locally greater totals where precipitation remained mostly snow. Snow accumulations rapidly diminished south of this area...tapering to 1 to 3 inches across southeast Aroostook county where a much greater portion of the precipitation fell in the form of sleet and freezing rain. Storm total snow accumulations across northern portions of Piscataquis and Somerset counties ranged from 6 to 8 inches. Sleet accumulations of 1 to 3 inches occurred across Aroostook county just south of the area of heaviest snow. Ice accumlations of 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch were common from southeast Aroostook...to northern Penobscot...to central Piscataquis counties with local ice accumulations up to 3/4 of an inch. Trees were snapped in this area due to the weight of the ice.
Precipitation quickly transitioned to heavy rain across Downeast areas  south of the low track. The storm brought 1 to 2 inches of rain to Downeast areas...which had received 0.50 to 1 inch of rain just 24 hours earlier from another storm which had already helped saturate conditions. In addition to the heavy rain...melting snow also contributed to runoff. The combination of the additional rain...and snow melt with clogged drains...led to urban and poor drainage flooding along with standing water in poor drainage and low lying areas across portions of Washington...Hancock and southern Penobscot counties. The high water led to some road closures near the coast. Rivers...streams and brooks were running high though generally remained within their banks. Several garage roofs across southern Piscataquis county collapsed due to the combined weight of snow and rain.
