An area of low pressure developed off the coast of North Carolina Saturday morning, October 29, then moved north to just east of the Delmarva Peninsula by Saturday evening, and through the Gulf of Maine Saturday night.  The storm brought a heavy, wet snow across Western Maine from the coast to the foothills.  Snow began to fall across southwestern Maine late Saturday afternoon, became heavy during the night, and ended Sunday morning.  The snow was mixed with rain along the immediate coast.  The combination of the heavy wet snow and leaves still on the trees caused numerous trees and branches to snap and fall, causing widespread power outages.  About 207,000 customers lost power during the storm, mostly across the southwestern part of the state.  Some customers were without electrical service for 3 days.
Snowfall amounts were quite variable across the state with southern areas and the higher terrain receiving the most snow, and in some cases, record snowfall for late October.  Snowfall amounts ranged from 3 to 6 inches along the immediate coast to 10 to 18 inches across the foothills of Western Maine.   In general, the mountains  received 3 to 6 inches of snow.
