Meterologist Todd Gutner from News Center Maine is calling the storm a Nor'easter and agrees that big snowfall amounts are likely . He said the storm will likely start off lightly, with small accumulation before sunset on Wednesday. However, Gutner said the forecast shows the storm should get more intense during the evening and the rate of snowfall could reach an inch an hour in some places.
