The first measurable snowfall of the season is expected to hit Aroostook County on Friday, according to the National Weather Service Office in Caribou.

This cold and breezy weather could lead to Augusta and Waterville seeing its first snowfall of the season. WCSH 6 is predicting a cold rain to develop Thursday night into Friday and it could be cold enough for some wet snow.

I have been working since I was a teenager. I was briefly a paperboy and probably the worst paperboy ever! If I remember correctly, my paper route was around 60 to 70 homes, more often than not my Dad would drive me around to drop off the newspapers. The worst part was trying to collect the weekly fees. Tough job!

I remember when I was a 'tween' it was all about skateboarding, girls, and music on the radio. I came up in the 80s and there was a huge divide between mainstream rock and new wave and straight pop music. But to this day, I remember the very first album I bought with my own money. It was actually a cassette.

I know that when I first saw my wife I was hooked. It was in high school and she was shy, quiet, but an aggressive athlete. My first impression of her was that she was kind of snob because in the beginning she never talked to me. Well, she never really talked to anyone. Of course, I know her now probably better than anyone else and she's far from a snob. What about you?

I just bought a new vehicle, which got us talking around the office about our first cars.  I thought it would make a great series of blogs about ‘firsts’ in general.  Today, though, I must tell you about my first set of wheels. It may not mean much to you but it was everything to me at the time.

The arts abound in Presque Isle, Maine for the inaugural ‘First Friday Art Walk’ of the New Year.  Not only will downtown merchants be open later and showing their wares, but many also feature art and performances from some of the area’s best talent.
