Portland woke up to a few inches of snow Saturday morning as a late-season burst of wintry weather hits the state.

NWS recorded roughly three inches in Portland Saturday morning.

PORTLAND, Maine — Most of the state was engulfed in snow Monday afternoon. It's just a matter of efficiency. Surface temperatures along the coastline have been marginal through the day with the wind off the water. This allows some accumulation but keeps it fairly minimal close to the immediate coast.

State offices in Maine closed early Monday at 2 p.m. due to “expected hazardous snow conditions,” officials said.

A winter storm will continue to bring a messy mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain to Maine as we head through the rest of the weekend and
