Snowstorm kicks off 2008 across New England states
By BDN Staff
Bangor Daily News
The new year’s arrival in northern New England comes after a snowstorm that broke a snowfall record in one state, knocked out power for thousands and caused scattered highway accidents.
As residents cleared more than a foot of snow from the New Year’s Eve storm, they watched forecasts that called for another, comparable snowfall on New Year’s Day.
About 8 inches of powdery, dry snow fell in Bangor on Monday, bringing the monthly total to about 42 inches — still shy of the city’s December 1927 record of 51 inches.
At the National Weather Service office in Caribou, meteorologist Tony Sturey said Monday afternoon that area residents should be prepared for another storm of approximately the same magnitude arriving late Tuesday afternoon and extending into Wednesday morning. Areas south of Baxter State Park will be hit hardest, he said, while northern Aroostook County will see less accumulation.
