Whenever one is right on the edge of snow or mixing it usually just takes is a bit of elevation to push one over the edge, so I wouldn't be surprised.

"High impact winter storm tonight into Sunday. Over a foot of snow for some areas, plus lots of wind"

Most of Maine is a week or so later than usual for the measurable snow, but that tardiness will be more than made up for by magnitude - not many seasons start right off the bat with a windy one-footer.

Mostly northern Maine. I'l have to check.


Bangor average first snows is mid November. Average first 2" snowfall is late November. Average first 5" snowfall is Dec 20th!

They might get half foot! This is way early for them and most of Maine to get this much. Its only Nov 1st.

It might be the biggest earliest snowfall on record for some

Latest GFS a bit over done but take a look at what NWS Boston just said.

"Relying more on high-res HRRR & RAP but need to watch radar trends toward AM.
MT @steveginx: @RyanShampWX NAM RGEM GFS , time to reevaluate?"

So general idea wind driven wet snow possible for parts of MA & Rhode Island as this thing pulls away!

"Beautiful...snow guns are roaring at Sugar Mt. Ski Resort, NC with their 2nd earliest opening at 9 AM "

Temps dropping Eastern MA. Here we go. Change over happening in some areas. It's below freezing aloft and that's starting to mix down better now.

"Sleet is now falling steadily enough to stick/accumulate on Cape Cod at Dennis/Harwich line, per Nancy Gifford."

[Cambium]

On that note.. Guess where the Upper Level Low is now... Changover happening coincidental? Nope. Cold air is rushing down like The Day After Tomorrow movie. LOL!!

It's almost stacked above the surface low now. It's near 0°F at 500mb.

IT HAS TRANSITIONED OVER CAPE COD, MA now. How exciting is this??? Lets see how much or if an sticks. Wonder what the water temps are
