April Nor'Easter Drops Feet Of Snow

A major storm, responsible for dumping feet of snow, left some 700,000 homes and businesses in the Northeast without power on Thursday. Multiple deaths have also been reported, from vehicle cashes and falling trees.

Even now, into Friday morning, hundreds-of-thousands remain without power—mostly in Maine and New Hampshire. Utilities here say they were prepared for the storm but that power restoration could still be lengthy.

"Our crews are responding to widespread tree damage across our service area," reads a statement by Central Maine Power on its website, which adds that majority of the damage was caused by "more than a foot of heavy, wet snow and strong winds."

More than 2 feet of snow, in fact, had hit swaths of New England by Thursday evening, according to the National Weather Service (NWS), with moderate to heavy snow forecast to continue into Friday, particularly across higher terrain.

"This was pretty much a classic nor’easter," said Stephen Baron, a meteorologist for the NWS in Gray, Maine. "This is definitely a high-end storm for April. It’s not crazy for us to get snow in April, but not usually getting double-digit amounts."

Heavy snow made travel treacherous in northern New England and New York, and numerous crashes were reported, one that even shut down the Interstate 95 northbound near Lewiston, Maine, on Thursday morning.

"We recommend that you stay off the roads if you can, but if you must travel during the storm, be sure to give plow trucks, utility crews and emergency first responders plenty of room as they work to keep us safe," said Maine Gov. Janet Mills.

This is April, I am keen to remind.
