Heavy snow causes scattered outages, CMP ready for more snow and wind AUGUSTA, Maine, Feb. 25, 2010 â Crews from Central Maine Power Company (CMP) spent much of Thursday restoring power to customers in Franklin, Somerset, and Oxford Counties who lost service after up to a foot of heavy wet snow fell in the western mountains and foothills.
Intense low pressure systems generate strong winds because of tight pressure gradients surrounding the centre of the system. Intense low pressure systems and their associated cold fronts can generate strong winds and heavy rain over large areas, causing local flash flooding and riverine flooding. The main wind damage from these low pressure systems is often in coastal areas and adjacent mountain ranges. The systems can also cause coastal erosion through the combined effect of large waves and an increase in sea level known as storm surge. Severe winds can also contribute to extreme bushfire activity.
