Winter Storm February 28, 2023 · Interior Waldo, Maine

What the National Weather Service wrote

Light snow began after midnight on the 28th. Snow became moderate at times around sunrise and again during midday. Otherwise snow remained light and tapered off in the late evening, coming to an end from northwest to southeast. Snowfall totals ranged from 5 to 8 inches.

The wider storm

Low pressure over the Upper Midwest tracked east along the southern Great Lakes on the 28th. High pressure anchored over New Brunswick wedged in cold air along the eastern slopes of the mountains. This helped force secondary low pressure to develop south of Long Island by the morning of the 28th. This secondary low pressure continued to drift east southeast. A trailing inverted trough northwest of the low center prolonged the snowfall until midnight before it tapered off to snow showers that night.
