CARIBOU — Even though the storm that hit last Wednesday night and continued into the morning of Dec. 10 blanketed the County with a general seven to nine inches of snow, many found the lower-atmospheric event to be a bit of a blowhard. According to Mike Cantin, warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Caribou, the storm moved faster over the County than anticipated, which resulted in the deposit of seven to nine inches which amounted right around the forecasted eight to 12 inches of snow.
According to Sgt. Ron Curtis of the Caribou Police Department, Wednesday night through Thursday morning was a pretty quiet time with few weather-related calls.
While the temperature stayed in the 20-degree range during the storm, temperatures fell to the single digits on Monday with isolated spots seeing the mercury drop below zero.
Despite yesterday’s light snowfall, the area isn’t expected to experience any major snowstorms during the week, though temperatures may be low.
