PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - A Nor’easter is bringing more snow than originally expected to Maine.

The National Weather Service says the town of Berwick had recorded 12 inches of snow as of Thursday afternoon, with hours to go before the snow moves on.

The windblown-snow was bad enough that Gov. Paul LePage ordered state offices closed at noon.



Justin Arnott from the National Weather Service says the storm tracked farther north, meaning the snow is moving farther inland while the coast bears the brunt of the storm.

He said there will likely be 8 to 12 inches from Auburn to Augusta before the storm ends. He said there will be lesser amounts to the north.
