A complex area of low pressure intensified as it slowly moved off the Mid Atlantic coastline on January 2nd. It continued to reorganize (975 mb) and move south of Cape Cod on the 3rd. Gale force northerly winds on January 3rd combined with building
nearshore waves up to 15 feet to produce splash-over and coastal flooding near the time of high tide. Winds switched to the north during the midday high tide on the 3rd. However...the highest astronomical tides of the month, combined with a modest storm surge to impact the coast from Portland south through the New Hampshire Seacoast.
In Portland, automobiles drove through water a foot deep on side streets adjacent to the wharfs. Public Works closed Sawyer Road in Scarborough due to flooding. In Biddeford, Granite Point Road was flooded up to 10 inches deep for a stretch of road 1700 feet long, while water covered a portion of Hills Beach and Miles Stretch Roads. In Saco, minor flooding occurred on Surf Street and objects became covered in ice due to the splashing waves in the near zero degree temperatures. Further to the south in Kennebunk, Beach Avenue was closed due to splash-over and road flooding. In Wells, roads were flooded at Mile Road, Bourne Avenue and Furbish and water was up to four feet deep along Webhannet Drive. In York, considerable splash-over occurred at the southern end of Long Beach tossing debris onto the roads.
