That would make for the 3rd snowiest January here. Need only 4.6" to get there, but 10" to reach 2nd and 14 to pass 2015.

Highest I've seen in Maine is 20.5" at Parsonsfield, NW-most town in York County. Friends at the western part of Wells lost power for 30 hours; probably 6-8" plus ZR there.

This month will finish between 9 and 10° AN, about 2° above our 2nd mildest January in 2006, and snow is already 3"+ above average. Jan 2006 was 5" AN though that month had rain with almost every event and nothing bigger than 5.9" - that month's 11" max depth is the most pitiful mark for any winter here while we've got 24" at the stake with more to come (unless the forecast has a really radical change). December was 4"+ AN for snow and 5° AN - I can't recall having 2 significantly mild months with AN snow in both. NNE bonus. Makes up for January 2014, which was 3.5° BN with 120% precip that produced 27% of average snowfall. Its snow also ranked 129th of 130 Januarys at the Farmington co-op.

Super! Your area really got pounded during the day. We had 6.3" by 7 AM and I was pleased with another 3.8" to reach double digits and a 24" pack, but you must've had 9-10" after 7.

Trace at PQI thru 1 PM, nada CAR/FVE but at least they're cloudy - 2 hours ago they were partly sunny.

SSTs off the Maine coast at 45F today (50 at Georges Bank), and while I don't have the 100-year data, I'd guess the current temps are ~5° AN. Probably awful for the coast, maybe more snowy qpf farther inland?

Much better than today for the far north.

Back up to moderate at about 1 PM, now at 9" but the back edge may leave us below 10 - still an overperformer. Over 20k outages in southern Maine, chiefly York County, with perhaps the worst in Wells. Noon news showed a pic there with a large tree across a road, another with a tiny twig fatttened to at least 1/2" by ice. ZR+wet snow for the loss. Farther north, Versant listed 3 customers (Why me?) w/o power.

Note that the stake has acquired a slight lean thanks to the 12/23 deluge. Therefore, a pack touching the 2-foot bar is actually only 23.92"

Advisory upped to warning overnight. Started about 8 PM with a bang - 1.3" by 9, then backed down to moderate, 5.0" more by 7 AM, another 2"+ since then. Near the 2-foot mark at the stake though the high (14:1) ratio means siggy settling.

Getting close to 2 feet.

6.3" of 14:1 pow by 7 AM, 2"+ since, currently lgt SN and mid 20s.

Hoping for a bit of real winter cold - maybe enough to kill off some hemlock wooly adelgids and moose ticks. Minus 3 (currently season's coldest) won't get it done.

6.6" with 0.55" LE, lots easier to snowblow than the 9:1 dump last month. 16" at the stake and deep blue sky with a few tiny clouds. Spectacular day

6.6" of 12:1 pow. The final 1.5" was especially fluffy. Brings us to an inch above YTD average.

Still wondering if we ever get deep winter cold. Least coldest winter temp here was -10 in 2005-06 and 19 of 24 winters has gotten down to at least -20. 2001-02 had its coldest max at 16, 2nd least cold is 12 in 2005-06. So far, our low here is -3 (may challenge that Sunday morning) and coldest max 20.

Still some tiny flakes in the air but accum is done, 6.5" with ratio of 12.5-to-1. 1st 5" was 11:1 but daytime feathers added 1.5" of 21:1 fluff. 17" at the stake. Edit: Good to see the Maine coast getting into the act. Also saw 6.6" at the Jetport, time of obs not shown.

We ma be almost done here, as the best echoes are now moving ESE rather than east.

What stands out to me is that every single day had AN max and AN min - only one low was <5° AN.

Started here a bit before midnight and had 5" of 11:1 pow by 7 AM, maybe 1.5" since with continuing light SN, safely in the 5-9 forecast. Trees are loaded thanks to little wind (increasing a bit now) but no danger to trees thanks to the good ratio.

We're in the 8-12 color, too, but P&C adds up to 5-9 and Farmington 90/50/10 percents are 5/8/11. Lots better than yesterday's estimates.

Here it's just over 10:1 for 98-99 thru 21-22. It was 10.5 going into 18-19 and that winter plus the next 2 have the lowest ratios of any of the 24. 20-21 was the nadir, at 6.5-to-1. The season's biggest storm, 9.5" on Feb 2, was all snow at mid-upper 20s with 1.35" LE for a 7.2:1 ratio. Lousy dendrites or something; places to the south (including NNJ and NYC) had better ratios.

Not for here, and the NAM map that PF posted shows the good stuff remaining to my south, leaving the Route 2 corridor with advisory snows, maybe 3-4". All snow is good snow, but that amount would be right on the threshold for snowblow/no snoblow. (Unless it's 6:1 paste, which would need to go.)

Very similar here, with some latitudinal advantage - total was 142.3", tops here since 98-99. Only dd's were 12.5" and 10.7", with 19 other events 3"-9.5".

This date in 2018, it might've been closer to 18". Had 7-8" on Flying Pond on 1/9, expect to see 9-10 if I get out there tomorrow - fish might be hungry with the falling bar.
