West winds gusting 25-35mph today will cause the freshly fallen snow to be blowing and significantly drifting across roads in the open agricultural areas of Aroostook and Northern Penobscot counties. This will create localized reduced visibility at times, particularly on north to south oriented roadways. This includes but not limited to portions of, U.S. Routes 1, 1A, 2 and 2A. In addition, portions of state routes 10, 11, 89, 161, 162, 164, 205, and 212 may be impacted. Drive slowly, headlights on, keep your distance from the car ahead of you allowing for extra braking distance. Watch for drifting snow that will quickly cover roadways making travel difficult.
