Intensifying low pressure tracking well west of Maine during the 11th drew warmer air north across the region. However...the low level cold air was slow to erode resulting in freezing rain. The freezing rain did gradually change to rain...from south to north...through the morning and afternoon hours of the 11th. Ice accumulations along the Downeast coast generally were .10 of an inch or less...with .10 to .25 of an inch across interior Downeast and central portions of the region. Ice accumulations across northern areas generally ranged from .20 to .30 of an inch...with local totals up to .40 of an inch.
Although ice accumulations remained below warning levels...the ice produced very hazardous driving conditions through the morning into the afternoon hours. Even after temperatures warmed above freezing...the recent cold temperatures kept ground surfaces below freezing allowing ice to continue to accumulate. Hundreds of accidents occurred across the region. Portions of I-95 were closed for a time along with other roads. A passenger jet slid off the taxiway at Bangor International Airport while turning to approach a gate when the nose wheel lost traction. No injuries occurred on the plane.
