The episode as NWS CAR wrote it up.
Strong low pressure lifted north across Maine during the 27th. A tight pressure gradient between high pressure to the east and the low produced strong southerly winds across Washington and Hancock counties. The strong winds occurred from mid morning into the evening hours. The strongest winds occurred along the coast with onshore winds where gusts approached 70 mph. The strong winds brought down trees and power lines across Washington and Hancock counties with the most significant impacts along the coast. Around 5000 customers were without power at the peak of the storm.

SNOW. THE DOWNEAST AND COAST AREAS COULD SEE A SNOW/RAIN MIX AS
TEMPERATURES ARE FCST TO BE THE CRITICAL TEMPERATURES OF 32-33
DEGREES. CONFIDENCE AT THIS TIME IS NO HIGHER THAN 40% AND THAT IS
HOW THE PRECIP CHANCES WERE PLAYED. THERE IS STILL SOME DISCREPANCY
IN THE TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THIS SYSTEM TO SUPPORT GOING HIGHER
THE PRECIP CHANCES. THE DAYCREW CAN ASSESS THIS FURTHER TODAY
W/THE LATER GUIDANCE.
