The nor’easter will continue to move away from New England, which was able to sufficiently strengthen and with enough cold air on the back side, it allowed for heavy bands of snow to develop. A swath of 8-12 inches of snow fell across interior northern New England with a jackpot zone setting up in the southern Green Mountains, where a general 12-18 inches fell. The northern Berkshires also over-performed, with Hawley, Massachusetts (located over 1,000 feet) picking up around 10 inches. Here are the totals:
West Wardsboro 12.5 inches
White River Junction 6 inches
Center Sandwich 8.3 inches
Waterville Valley 7.5 inches
This was generally a heavy and wet snow, which did result in a round of power outages Thanksgiving evening, especially as the more intense and widespread snow bands moved through Maine. Over 90,000 in New England lost power at some point in the last 24 hours, including over 70,000 in Maine alone. As of 8am, around 76,000 remain without power, including 73,000 in Maine alone.
