With an estimated two inches of snow or less for Lincoln County after daybreak Sunday morning and only light additional snow expected, the snow portion of this weekend’s snowstorm turned out to be mostly a miss; but a blizzard warning remained in effect due to the anticipated blowing snow as winds continued to build, meteorologist Mike Ekster of the National Weather Service’s Gray office said.

What happened to the predicted bigger snowfall? The jet stream was further south, causing the low to form further south and in turn keep the heavier band of snow further south as well, Ekster said.

Snowfall should end by about mid-afternoon after another possible inch or two piles up on top of the small amount received since Saturday afternoon. Winds should peak this afternoon with gusts around 50 mph, Ekster said. Because predictions of cold temperatures bore out, the snow is lightweight — good for minimizing power outages but also setting up the blowing snow. Visibility will be poor in the strong winds, he said.

As of about 7:30 a.m. Sunday morning, Central Maine Power’s website at www.cmpco.com was reporting one Scarborough, Cumberland County customer as having the lone outage in its entire system.

The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office was reporting no weather-related problems of downed lines or slide-offs overnight.
