Drawn out snow event wraps up Monday; many school delays
From the Boothbay peninsula to points north, Lincoln County residents looking out the window Monday morning should expect about two more inches of snow on top of what started piling up mid-weekend.
Monday’s occasional snow, and winds of about 10 to 20 mph, will be about it for the remainder of the snowstorm, meteorologist Eric Schwibs said Monday morning from the National Weather Service’s Gray office.
AOS 98 Rocky Channels School District’s Facebook page was reporting a two-hour delay for all schools on Monday, as was Central Lincoln County School System AOS 93’s website at www.aos93.org, for all of the district’s schools.
Wiscasset schools and Regional School Unit 12 schools also have two-hour delays on Monday. The Westport bus will only pick up students on Main Road, according to a Wiscasset School Department announcement. There will be no pre-kindergarten in Chelsea on Monday and the Chelsea High School Bus to Cony High School will have a two-hour delay, an RSU 12 announcement states.
Woolwich Central School and Regional School Unit 1’s other schools also have a two-hour delay, according to the district’s website at www.rsu1.org.
The total snowfall, of about five to eight inches for the region from Saturday night through Monday night, stemmed from a series of weak disturbances moving east along a front to our south, Schwibs said. After the storm ends later Monday night, Lincoln County appears to be in for a mostly quiet week.
“It’s just going to stay cold,” Schwibs said. Monday’s temperatures were expected to peak near the mid-teens.
Light snow is possible for Thursday night into Friday, Schwibs said.
The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office was reporting no accidents early Monday. As of 5:28 a.m., Central Maine Power’s website at www.cmpco.com was reporting no outages.
