The episode as NWS CAR wrote it up.
An intensifying coastal low lifting north through the Gulf of Maine to the maritime provinces brought heavy snow to portions of extreme eastern Maine. Heavy snow developed around the intensifying low generally producing 5 to 8 inches of snow accumulation across portions of extreme eastern Maine...with localized totals of around 10 inches across northern Washington county. The low continued to intensify while lifting through the maritimes...producing gusty winds which produced considerable blowing and drifting snow in the wake of the low.
