Our crews have been out picking litter on the roadside recently. Unfortunately, we have to do this every spring. We all want to keep Maine beautiful – help us help you! Don’t litter, and secure loose items in your vehicles before hitting the road.
Watch for deteriorating road conditions this morning as snow develops across the area. Snowfall totals have come up a bit overnight, but for most locations, a 4-8" snowfall is expected today. #mewx#nhwx
From President Butler and the IAFC BOD: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., once said, "If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” Today we celebrate the life and accomplishments of Dr. King.
I strongly urge Maine people, particularly those along the coast, to take this storm seriously, to prepare for it, and to follow the advice of local emergency management officials. We are encouraging people to stay away from the coast if possible.
Here are some pictures of the damage caused by today’s storm during the morning high tide. The first one is Sewall Road in Bar Harbor. The second one shows damage to the ferry transfer bridge in Bass Harbor. The third picture is the causeway in Deer Isle.
@MaineEMA encourages everyone to monitor the forecast for the next few days as a multi-layered storm system moves into Maine. Read full press release: https://t.co/UrQOAIUqHO
