The combination of rain and snowmelt runoff on March 17 was sufficient to produce ice jam flooding along various rivers in the Western Maine Mountains. Most of the ice remained within the streambanks, with the exception of the Carrabassett River. An ice jam on the Carrabassett River in Kingfield resulted in flooding of properties.
