“Most of the storm's precipitation initially fell as heavy rain but quickly turned to snow. Strong winds accompanied heavy, wet snow falling,” CNN meteorologist Derek Van Dam said.

The most severe effects of the storm were felt in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. About 8 inches (20,3 cm) of snow fell in Shapley, Maine, and Derry, New Hampshire, and 12,5 inches (31,7 cm) fell in Paxton, Massachusetts.

According to poweroutage.us, a site that tracks electricity consumption across the country, about 180 consumers in all three states were left without electricity.

“This storm produced significant snowfall, wind and rain, but could have been much stronger if temperatures had been just a few degrees cooler at the start of the storm,” Van Dam said.

The storm turned towards New Scotia and New Branswick, bringing rain and wind in gusts of up to 50 miles (80,4 km) per hour.

Traveling is not recommended

The region is currently experiencing "slick roads and widespread power outages," the National Weather Service said Saturday, Dec. 5.

The Meteorological Service has warned against traveling as blizzards and gusty winds can significantly impair visibility. Felling power lines can also pose a hazard, the weather service writes.
