🌨️ Good morning, everyone! If you woke up to a winter wonderland, you’re not alone—overnight snowfall blanketed much of the state, bringing several inches of fresh powder. But don’t worry, we’ve got the latest updates on storm conditions, road safety, and when you can start clearing your driveway!
📌 Key Weather Updates
🌨️ Snow Continues but Will Taper Off Soon
- The heaviest snowfall is shifting off the coastline as the storm moves away.
- Moderate snow continues in coastal areas, while inland and northern Maine are seeing much lighter snowfall (1 inch or less).

❄️ How Much Snow Have We Gotten So Far?
- Southern Maine: 6+ inches (some areas even reaching 7 inches!)
- Central and Eastern Maine: A few inches, but much lighter accumulation.
- Northern Maine & Mountains: Barely an inch—not the snow they were hoping for.
Additional snowfall over the next few hours:
- Coastal areas: 1 to 2 more inches possible.
- Interior and northern regions: Less than an inch.
🚗 Road Conditions: Slippery & Snow-Covered
- Early morning travel is hazardous due to snow-covered roads and icy patches.
- Plows are out, but some areas may still be slick—especially side streets and less-traveled roads.
- If you’re driving this morning, take it slow and allow for extra stopping distance.
- By noon, roads should be much clearer, making travel to Super Bowl parties a lot easier! 🎉🏈
