| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An area of low pressure moving eastward from the Ohio River Valley on Friday the 24th caused a mixture of precipitation types across the state. Snow began in western sections late Friday morning, then spread eastward during the afternoon. The snow then changed to sleet, freezing rain, and rain in areas from Friday evening through Saturday morning. A secondary low pressure center formed along the southern New England Coast Saturday, then moved slowly northeastward through Sunday morning, the 26th. The storm generally caused 6 to 12 inches of snow and sleet across the north, mountains, and foothills. Generally, 2 to 7 inches of snow was reported in extreme southwestern Maine, along the immediate coast and in downeast areas. In coastal sections of southwestern Maine, a significant freezing rain event followed the snow and sleet (see separate ICE STORM entry). |
