What happened
The episode as NWS GYX wrote it up.
A large area of low pressure tracked from the lower Mississippi Valley on the 13th to the Ohio Valley by early on the 14th, and to the Gulf of St. Lawrence by the morning of the 15th. The circulation around the low brought heavy snow to the mountains, foothills, and interior sections of southwestern Maine with a moderate snowfall just inland from the coast. The snow turned to a mixture of sleet, freezing rain and rain in all but the mountains. Snowfall amounts generally ranged from several inches along the coast to 4 to 8 inches just inland from the coast, to 8 to 12 inches over the mountains and foothills. Eustis in northern Franklin County repoted 15.5 inches of snow from the storm.
