Intensifying low pressure tracking along the Maine coast to New Brunswick brought heavy snow to northern and eastern Maine. Strong winds developed along the Downeast coast in advance of the low. Snow developed across the region through the morning and early afternoon hours of the 9th...continuing through the afternoon. The snow then ended...from south to north...through the evening of the 9th into the early morning hours of the 10th. Storm total snow accumulations across much of northern and eastern Maine ranged from 5 to 8 inches. Snow accumulations of 6 to 10 inches were common across the west-central highlands...where localized totals of up to 12 inches were reported. The snow briefly transitioned to a wintry mix across interior Downeast areas. Enough warm air reached the Downeast coast to allow the snow to eventually transition to all rain. The combination of heavy wet snow on trees and power lines along with the strong winds led to trees and power lines being toppled and power outages along the Downeast coast. The greatest impact was across Hancock county where nearly 4000 custromers lost power at various times...with the most significant outages in the Stonington and Deer Isle areas. Wind gusts of 50 to 60 mph were common along the Downeast coast...with a peak wind gust of 65 mph at West Quoddy.
