The episode as NWS CAR wrote it up.
Several weak areas of low pressure tracked across Downeast Maine along a nearly stationary frontal boundary through the 21st into the 22nd. Precipitation began during the afternoon of the 21st then continued into the afternoon of the 22nd. Across east-central and interior Downeast areas precipitation was mostly in the form of sleet and freezing rain. Through the afternoon of the 22nd total precipitation in these areas generally ranged from 1 to 3 inches of sleet along with .10 to .50 inch of ice. During this same time...precipitation along the Downeast coast was mostly in the form of freezing rain with ice accumulations of .25 to .50 inch. Warnings verified through the morning into the early afternoon hours of the 22nd. This was the first portion of a major icing event across Downeast Maine. |Power outages began to develop during the overnight hours of the 21st into the morning of the 22nd. Power outages during the first portion of the event peaked at around 20000 customers early on the 22nd...but had fallen to around 8000 later on the 22nd. The most extensive power outages during this first portion of the event were across coastal areas of Hancock and Washington counties. Numerous snapped branches and ice weighted trees making contact with power lines contributed to power outages. The power outages and damage to trees became much more extensive during the second portion of the event. |The final in the series of weak lows drew the frontal boundary southward across the Gulf of Maine during the afternoon of the 22nd which helped reinforce the low level cold air. Precipitation generally tapered to freezing drizzle in the wake of the final low which persisted through the evening. However...this set the stage for the second portion of the event which occurred from the overnight hours of the 22nd through the 23rd when a stronger low moved across the Gulf of Maine along the frontal boundary. This low brought additional significant freezing rain to Downeast areas. The second portion of the event is addressed in greater detail in a seperate write-up. The overall combined impacts of both events are adressed in greater detail with the write-up for the second portion of the event.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CARIBOU ME
1006 AM EST SAT DEC 21 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE WILL CROSS THE REGION TODAY INTO THIS
EVENING. A STRONGER WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
REGION SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
UPDATE 1000 AM EST: MAIN CHANGE WAS TO MOVE UP THE TIMING FOR THE
HEADLINES OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA TO BEGIN AT NOON
TODAY AS WE EXPECT PERIODS OF LIGHT FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET TO
FALL THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON FOR AREAS ROUGHLY SOUTH OF MILLINOCKET
WHERE SOME ICE ACCRETION IS LIKELY TO OCCUR AS EARLY AS THIS
AFTERNOON. TO THE NORTH EXPECT MAINLY SOME LIGHT SNOW AND SLEET
MIXED AT TIMES WITH FREEZING RAIN THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. WITH
THIS UPDATE, ALSO RAISED THE POPS FOR TODAY AND ADJUSTED THE
TEMPERATURES DOWN AS COLD AIR IN THE LOW LEVELS LOOKS TO REMAIN IN
PLACE.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION: A STATIONARY FRONT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN
PLACE OVER THE COAST TODAY AND TONIGHT. WEAK AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE
WILL MOVE ALONG THIS FRONT THROUGH TONIGHT. THIS WILL RESULT IN
PERIODS OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION. THIS WILL BE IN THE FORM OF SNOW
IN THE FAR NORTH. A LAYER OF WARM AIR ALOFT AND COLD AIR NEAR THE
SURFACE WILL RESULT IN MIXED PRECIPITATION OVER CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN AREAS. WITH STRONG HIGH PRESSURE REMAINING TO THE NORTH
EXPECT COLD AIR DRAINAGE TO MAINTAIN THIN SURFACE LAYER OF COLD
AIR THROUGH TONIGHT ACROSS SOUTHERN AREAS. HAVE BLENDED THE
NAM...GFS...SREF AND ECMWF FOR QPF AND POPS. HAVE USED THE BIAS
CORRECTED ALL BLEND AND THE BIAS CORRECTED CONSENSUS RAW FOR
TEMPERATURE GRIDS. FOR PRECIPITATION TYPE AND SNOW AMOUNTS WILL
USE THICKNESS TOOL RUN ON THE GFS AND FORECAST TEMPERATURE GRIDS.
FOR ICE ACCUMULATION HAVE USED 50/50 MIXTURE OF SLEET AND FREEZING
ON FORECAST QPF AMOUNTS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
WE COULD BE LOOKING AT A SIGNIFICANT ICE EVENT FOR CENTRAL AND
DOWNEAST MAINE W/SUBSTANTIAL SNOW AND SLEET ACROSS PORTIONS OF
NORTHERN MAINE.
A STATIONARY FRONT AS MENTIONED ABOVE WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE
CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE CWA WHILE LOW PRES MOVES EASTWARD ALONG
THIS BOUNDARY. COLD AIR IN PLACE AT THE SFC W/WARM AIR ALOFT
OVERRUNNING THE COLD LEADING TO A CLASSIC SETUP FOR ICE AND EVEN
SLEET ACCUMULATION. THIS IS EXPECTED MAINLY ACROSS THE CENTRAL
HIGHLANDS DOWN INTO THE INTERIOR DOWNEAST TO THE COAST. NORTH OF
THESE REGIONS, IT LOOKS LIKE ALL SNOW W/SLEET MIXING IN SAY NORTH
OF A HOULTON-MILLINOCKET LINE. LATEST SATELLITE WV IMAGERY SHOWED
A LARGE PLUME OF MOISTURE STREAM OUT OF OLD MEXICO NORTHEASTWARD.
LIGHTNING DETECTION SHOWED STRONG CONVECTION ASSOCIATED W/THIS
PLUME. THIS AIRMASS IS FORECAST TO BE PROJECTED INTO THE NORTHEASTERN
UNITED STATES LATER TODAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT.
AFTER A SHOT OF SNOW/SLEET AND LIGHT FREEZING RAIN EARLY SATURDAY,
THE MORE SIGNIFICANT BATCH ARRIVES THIS EVENING AND CONTINUES INTO
EARLY MONDAY MORNING. THE LATEST RUN OF THE NUMERICAL GUIDANCE IS
SHOWING A TREND TO WARMER AIR BEING LIFTED NORTH INTO THE STATE
TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW A WEDGE OF WARM
AIR(ABOVE OC) FROM 800-700MBS W/COLD AIR REMAINING AT THE SFC.
THIS IS MOST PROMINENT FROM THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS DOWN TO THE
COAST. THIS SETS THE STAGE FOR ICING, WHICH COULD BE SIGNIFICANT
FOR THESE REGIONS WHILE FURTHER NORTH, PRECIP WILL BE IN THE FROM
OF SNOW W/SLEET MIXING IN. THE MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOWED THIS WEDGE
OF WARM PUSHING AS FAR NORTH AS THE CARIBOU AND PRESQUE REGION
W/THE POTENTIAL FOR SLEET. ACROSS THE SAINT JOHN VALLEY AND NW
MAINE, IT LOOKS LIKE ALL SNOW.
THEREFORE, WINTER STORM WARNINGS WERE POSTED FOR ALL OF NORTHERN
AND MAINE THROUGH EARLY MONDAY MORNING. SNOW AND SLEET ACCUMULATIONS
OF 8 TO 12 INCHES FOR NORTHERN MAINE WHILE THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS
INCLUDING THE GREENVILLE AREA ACROSS TO DANFORTH AND LINCOLN COULD
SEE 6 TO 10 INCHES OF SNOW AND SLEET W/SOME ICE ACCUMULATION(.25").
ICE STORM WARNINGS ARE POSTED FOR INTERIOR DOWNEAST MAINE
INCLUDING THE BANGOR REGION FOR ICE ACCRETION OF 0.50 TO 0.75
INCHES W/SLEET. FOR THE COAST, A FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY IS UP FOR
ICE ACCRETION OF UP TO 0.25 INCHES BEFORE WARM AIR MOVES IN
CHANGING THE FREEZING RAIN OVER TO RAIN ON SUNDAY. AS A MATTER OF
FACT, A CHANGE WAS MADE TO THE FORECAST TO BRING WARMER AIR INTO
THE BANGOR REGION BY SUNDAY NIGHT ALLOWING FOR A CHANGE TO RAIN
BRIEFLY.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A COLDER AIRMASS IS FORECAST TO INVADE THE REGION FOR THE
CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY.
LOW PRES IS EXPECTED TO PULL ACROSS THE MAINE COAST ON MONDAY AND
THEN INTO THE NW ATLC MONDAY NIGHT. ANY MIXED OR LIQUID PRECIP
ACROSS THE DOWNEAST REGION WILL GO BACK TO SOME SNOW WHILE THE
NORTHERN 1/2 OF THE CWA SHOULD REMAIN ALL SNOW. SOME ADDITIONAL
ACCUMULATIONS ARE POSSIBLE.
TURNING MUCH COLDER ON CHRISTMAS EVE RIGHT INTO CHRISTMAS DAY AS
HIGH PRES BUILDS DOWN IN THE NORTHEASTERN STATES FROM CANADA.
OVERNIGHT LOWS CHRISTMAS EVE NIGHT ARE FORECAST TO RANGE -5 TO -15
BELOW ACROSS REGION W/THE EXCEPTION FOR THE COAST W/LOWS THERE
EXPECTED TO BE IN THE SINGLE NUMBERS. CHRISTMAS DAY LOOKS TO BE
COLD BUT SUNNY W/DAYTIME TEMPERATURES ONLY 5 TO 15 ABOVE.
CONTINUED COLD CHRISTMAS NIGHT RIGHT INTO THURSDAY AS THE HIGH
PULLS EAST ACROSS NOVA SCOTIA. A RETURN FLOW AROUND THE HIGH IS
FORECAST TO BRING SOME MODERATION IN TEMPERATURES THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. W/THIS RETURN FLOW WILL COME ANOTHER CHANCE FOR
SOME PRECIPITATION IN THE FORM OF SNOW FOR FRIDAY. ATTM, CONFIDENCE
IS NO HIGHER THAN 40% AND DECIDED TO KEEP PRECIP CHANCES AT
30-40% ON FRIDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /15Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
NEAR TERM: EXPECT MAINLY IFR CONDITIONS THROUGH TONIGHT.
SHORT TERM: IFR AND EVEN LIFR SUNDAY RIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY FOR
ALL TERMINALS. ICING A DEFINITE CONCERN ESPECIALLY FOR BGR(BIA)

.MARINE...
NEAR TERM: FOR WINDS HAVE USED THE NAM12. FOR WAVES: LONG FETCH
IN PLACE FROM GULF OF MAINE SOUTHWARD...HOWEVER WITH VERY COLD AIR
ACROSS LOCAL WATERS WIND WAVE NEAR COAST TOO HIGH IN MODELS. WILL
USE SWAN/NAM TO INITIALIZE WAVE GRIDS. EXPECT LARGER WAVES FROM
FURTHER SOUTH IN FETCH TO ARRIVE LATER TODAY AND WITH CURRENT
OBSERVATIONS APPROACHING 5 FEET WILL KEEP SCA IN PLACE.
SHORT TERM: SCA CONDITIONS LOOK LIKE THEY WILL PERSIST RIGHT INTO
EARLY MONDAY ESPECIALLY FOR THE SEAS. SCA FOR WINDS AND SEAS
POSSIBLE FOR TUESDAY ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW. DECIDED TO BRING
WIND GUSTS UP TO 25 KT FOR TUESDAY W/A NW FLOW AND CAA.
