You’ll be Shocked by the Maine Snowfall Totals From Thanksgiving’s Storm

Unless you were away from your phone, local TV, and radio, you had plenty of warning that much of New England would be under the threat of an early season Nor'Easter for Thanksgiving.

It had been predicted by meteorologists that the storm would roll into New England early Thanksgiving Day and work its way northeast toward Aroostook County and Canada.

That's basically what we got.

For example, in central Maine, the first drops of precipitation arrived at about 10 a.m.  After several hours of misty rain, the snow began to fall at about 2 p.m.

Of course, depending on where in Maine you live, your experience could have been much different.

For example, the Portland area got barely a dusting of snow.  In Augusta, there were a couple of inches of snow.

In Western Maine, however, they got pounded.  Some areas got more than a foot.

We've put together a list of snowfall totals from around the state and, honestly, we were kind of shocked by some of the totals.

For those who are unfamiliar (yes, some people have never experienced one before) a Nor'Easter is a powerful storm along the United States East Coast that features strong winds from the northeast, heavy rain or snow, and coastal flooding.

These storms typically develop when cold air from the north meets warm, moist air from the Atlantic, creating intense low-pressure systems.

Nor'easters are most common in the late fall and winter months and can cause severe disruptions due to snow, wind, and flooding.
