A narrow band of heavy snow dumped as much as 22 inches of snow at Vinalhaven, Maine on Saturday. North Haven, Maine was also hit hard, reporting 18 inches as of Saturday evening.

Other snowfall totals include 14 inches at Stonington and Deer Isle, and 8.6 inches near Camden.

The snow was associated with an inverted trough of low pressure, extending from a low pressure center well offshore, northwestward into parts of Maine. This is the same system that originated over the Carolinas on Friday, bringing some snow and sleet to that area.

Friday's Snowy Reports

Snow fell as far south as the north Georgia mountains Friday morning, as seen in Blairsville, Georgia. A few locations from southeastern Kentucky to north Georgia saw between one and two inches of snowfall.

As much as 2 inches fell near Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Freezing rain was also reported in eastern North Carolina, near Wilmington early Friday.

By Friday afternoon, snow and sleet were falling across much of eastern North Carolina. The National Weather Service reported a couple of spinouts along Highway-17 in Washington, due to slick roads. That precipitation advanced northeast, grazing southeastern Virginia into the Delmarva region into Friday evening.

Some of the highest snowfall totals as of Friday night in North Carolina included:

Camden - 3.0 inchesNags Head - 3.0 inchesColumbia- 3.0 inchesLake Landing- 2.0 inchesWanchese- 2.0 inchesPlymouth- 1.8 inches
