Relentless snow pounds central Maine

AUGUSTA -- "Let It Snow. Let It Snow. Let It Snow."
OK. Enough already with the 1945 lyrics by Sammy Cahn.
Here are some for 2008:
"Let It Stop. Let It Melt. Let Us Rest."
That's the refrain for the plow truck drivers, the snow blowers and the snow shovelers and many who want to catch a breather between storms.
Monday's storm left 9 inches of fresh powder on the snowbanks, and forecasters predicted that much again before Tuesday's storm would be finished.
The snow arrived on schedule Tuesday afternoon, with blue skies clouding over and snow falling in earnest about 2 p.m. The winter weather warning by the National Weather Service in Gray was to remain in effect until 11 a.m. today.
Heavier snows were predicted in northern and eastern Maine.
In Readfield, Matt Dunn said he was preparing to work all night plowing the town parking lots.
"I'm probably working straight through," he said.
He noted that schoolchildren had a scheduled day off today.

"Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything."
