I haven’t been able to find any official snowfall totals, but by my rough estimate, we got just under a foot yesterday. The wind caused some drifting and the snow plows caused even more, so it’s tough to tell exactly. I do know that it took me the better part of an hour (and a snow shovel that now needs replacing) to chop through the plow’s pile and clear the sidewalk in front of our house so that I could walk the dog. I’ll try to get a picture of some undisturbed snow and a yard stick, but I think we’re well over 18″ on the ground right now. If this is late fall, actual winter should be interesting…

UPDATE: User SteveG, apparently a more intrepid web surfer than I, writes in with the following list of snow accumulation totals:

• Portland 8″
• Gorham 7.7″
• Bridgton 6.7″
• Auburn 5.5″
• Lewiston 7″
• Augusta 8″
• Bethel 8″
• Saco 8″
• Kennebunk 8″
• York 10.5″
• Westport Island 7″
• N. Sebago 8″
• Gray 7″
• Mexico 14.9″
• Sugarloaf 15.5″
• Sunday River 11″

The ski areas got a good coating. I think I need to get my skis waxed and ready to go.
