The energy from a storm slipping southeast from the Great Lakes merged with the energy from low pressure off the southeast U.S. coast to form an intense area of low pressure off the mid-Atlantic coast by the morning of January 4th.  The intense low brought heavy snow and high winds to much of the region, with blizzard conditions along the southwest coast.  In addition, the storm brought coastal flooding and erosion to the coast.  The storm brought 10 to 15 inches of snow to much of western Maine.
