The first snow of the upcoming Winter occurred today at the Weather Maine observing location. Heat flux from the warm soil prevented any accumulation of snow, outside of a few spotty grassy areas near the Portland and Westbrook line. The rain of the night turned to snow at about 8:00a and continued until around Noon, in South Portland. Inland areas of Cumberland County reported around 2" of snow while the southern coastal zones were spared of any real accumulation
