Wider weather episode

An area of low pressure dropping southeast from Canada on the morning of the 15th combined with an area of low pressure moving northeast from the mid-Atlantic coast to form an intense storm over Nova Scotia by the morning of the 16th. A weak low pressure trough remained across the area on the 16th as the low moved away. The combination of these two storms and the trough brought heavy snow to western Maine. Snowfall amounts ranged from about 16 inches in interior locations near the border with New Hampshire to several inches in Somerset and Waldo Counties.
