Last legs of storm still to come
Clear those walkways Sunday, before the snow and other precipitation on them harden overnight, meteorologist Chris Legro of the National Weather Service’s Gray office advised. The storm that arrived around nightfall Saturday left Lincoln County with about four inches of snow by early Sunday morning, when the snow headed out and freezing rain was on the way, Legro said.
About one-tenth of an inch of icing may occur by early afternoon both inland and on the Boothbay peninsula, except for the extreme coast, Legro said. Then come rain and drizzle with a warmup peaking around 7 p.m. Sunday, when the temperature should reach the lower 40’s.
So this afternoon and evening are the time to remove all that has fallen on walkways and driveways. Whatever’s left will be staying put after that as temperatures undergo a steady fall into the teens on Monday, Legro said.
Winds will be picking up Sunday and Monday, with gusts of 40 mph to 45 mph possible Monday. That could lead to some power outages if some of the weekend’s precipitation remains on branches, Legro said. “Hopefully, we’ll see most of that melt off and not cause too many issues,” he said after sunrise Sunday.
Shortly before 8 a.m. Sunday, the only outages Central Maine Power’s website at www.cmpco.com was reporting were small ones in York and Cumberland counties. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Department was reporting no accidents on the roads overnight.
