A storm that brought heavy snowfall early Thursday afternoon was the latest in a string of winter storms to impact Maine.

The second of five storms that will slam the eastern half of the United States with snow and ice over a two week period is on the way – and this one has more snow than the first.

4-8" of snow is expected in southern Maine including the Portland area. There will be a steep drop-off in snowfall into central Maine. It looks like a minor event there with 2-4". Stay tuned, there is plenty of time for totals to shift a bit.
