Latest Nor'easter Could Bring A Foot Or More Of Snow

Maine is bracing for its third nor’easter in less than two weeks.

National Weather Service meteorologist Bob Marine in Gray says snow moves across the state from south to north beginning late Monday, arriving over all areas by Tuesday morning.

“And will become heavy at times during the day Tuesday and into Tuesday night,” he says.

Marine says there could be light snow and snow showers into Wednesday, with accumulations 12-18 inches by Wednesday morning.

“It’s going to be a colder storm than the last one, so it’s not going to be a heavy, wet snow. It’s going to be a little more powdery,” he says.

Marine says winds in this storm could cause some blowing and drifting and reduce visibilities to a quarter mile or so.
