• Description:
  "On 18 January 1995 a light snow event occurred across southwest Maine and southeast New Hampshire. Snow accumulations were rather light, having no impact on snow removal efforts. However, for aviation purposes the event was more critical due to low ceilings and visibilities along with low-level icing. This event was of particular interest because the vertical temperature profile during this event is not commonly associated with a snow event and would be difficult to forecast using standard snow forecasting techniques"--Introduction.
