For the third time in about a week, Mainers found themselves grappling with heavy snowfall, high winds and low temperatures.

The National Weather Service’s Caribou office posted unofficial tallies from about the last week, showing that Eastport got 57.9 inches of snow since Jan. 25, and 40 inches of snow had fallen in East Machias during the previous two storms, and Ellsworth had 37 inches from the last three storms.

Despite the amount of snow, meteorologist Rich Norton of the Caribou office said the weather service had not received any reports of damage, such as roof collapses.

“Thankfully, with the temperatures the way they are, the snow is real light and fluffy,” he said. “If we were getting these kind of snow amounts and the temperatures were up closer to freezing, we could potentially have some issues. It’d be a heavy, wet snow.”

The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning Monday for roughly the southern and eastern two-thirds of the state effective through this morning. That part of Maine was expected to see accumulations of 12 to 16 inches of snow.

Meanwhile, a winter weather advisory was in effect for northern Maine, and a wind chill advisory was in effect for the northwesternmost part of the state.

“Basically the system is skirting along the coast, the southern portions of the Gulf of Maine, so the coastal areas will see the most, and it just drops off sharply as you head to the northwestern corner of the state,” Norton said.

“It looks like there’ll be a bit of a break once this system moves through. It looks like there will be a little bit of lingering snow, less than half an inch, for northern Washington (County) and up into east Aroostook County through first thing (today), but the heavy stuff will be done by midnight,” he said.

Norton said the latest snowfall totals reported to the weather service showed that, as expected, coastal and southern Maine saw the brunt of the storm.

As of about 8 p.m., the weather service’s Caribou office showed total accumulations of about a foot in Ellsworth and Southwest Harbor, Lincoln in Penobscot County, and Steuben, Milbridge and Jonesport in Washington County. Getting 10 or more inches were Orrington, Brooklin and Winter Harbor.

As of 8 p.m. Monday, a foot of fresh snow had fallen in Rockland and Limington, while Standish, Phippsburg, Augusta, Lewiston and Gray had about 10 inches each, according to the latest public information statement posted by the weather services office in Gray.

Coming in at half a foot or more were several locations in Androscoggin, Cumberland, Kennebec, Knox, Lincoln and Oxford counties. Falmouth, Casco and Cumberland had seen upward of 7 inches of snow.

“It looks like Wednesday we could see another maybe an inch of snow,” Norton said. “There’s a system that’s going to move up the Atlantic and cross southeast of Nova Scotia, so it looks like Washington County could get hit again. It’s too far out to really say how much, but it looks like its going to be confined to southern Aroostook and Washington County mostly, for snowfall.”

The storm on Monday wreaked havoc on the state’s highways, as a tractor-trailer and car collided at mile marker 13 of the Maine Turnpike in York, according to Department of Public Safety spokesman Stephen McCausland.

The cars were following a snow plow, McCausland said, and the tractor-trailer jack-knifed and blocked two of the three northbound lanes. No serious injuries were reported.

On Interstate 95 in Etna, a tractor-trailer struck a Maine Department of Transportation plow truck after attempting to pass it, according to McCausland. The drivers in both vehicles escaped injury.

Monday’s storm prompted more than 600 cancellations, closures and postponements.
