Winter Weather Advisory Posted for Thanksgiving Weekend in Aroostook County

The first significant snowfall of the season in Aroostook County will make for some slippery roads from now to Sunday.

The National Weather Service Office in Caribou has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for northeast Maine from Friday evening until early Sunday morning. Folks between Millinocket and Madawaska could see between 3 and 9 inches of snow through the weekend, with the higher totals in the north.

Temperatures will hover around the freezing mark overnight and inch up a couple of degrees during the day. Forecasters say the snow may mix with rain Saturday afternoon.

This wintry mix will make roadways a bit slick, so if you're traveling over the Thanksgiving weekend, go carefully and allow extra time to get to where you're going.
