The episode as NWS CAR wrote it up.
Low pressure developed along the mid Atlantic region during the 26th then rapidly intensified while tracking toward southern Nova Scotia from the overnight hours of the 26th into the 27th. The low then exited across the maritimes during the morning of the 27th. A wintry mix rapidly transitioned to snow across Downeast areas during the early afternoon of the 26th. Snow then expanded northward across the remainder of the region through the rest of the afternoon and evening of the 26th. Snow persisted through the overnight hours of the 26th into the morning of the 27th. Warning criteria snow accumulations were met across much of the region during the late evening hours of the 26th and across northern areas during the early morning hours of the 27th. Storm total snow accumulations generally ranged from 8 to 13 inches across interior Downeast and central portions of the region...with 6 to 11 inches from central Piscataquis...across northern Penobscot to eastern Aroostook counties. Wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph...with a few higher gusts along the coast...occurred across Downeast areas. The winds and heavy wet snow contributed to around 9000 customers losing power across Hancock and southern portions of Penobscot counties from the evening of the 26th into the morning of the 27th.
