...Blowing and Drifting Snow This Morning and Afternoon...



Westerly winds 15 to 25mph with gusts up to 40mph today. Falling 

snow combined with fresh snow will be blowing and drifting across 

the roads in the open agricultural areas of Aroostook and Northern

Penobscot counties. This will create localized near zero 

visibility at times, particularly on north to south oriented 

roadways. Drifting snow will cover roadways and quickly become 

deep, resulting in dangerous travel conditions.



This includes but not limited to...Route 1, 1A, 2, 2A, 10, 11, 

89, 161, 163, 164, 205, 212 and 227. Drive slowly, keep your 

distance from the car ahead of you allowing for extra braking 

distance. Watch for drifting snow that will quickly cover 

roadways.
