Be safe if you have to travel this evening. Snow is on the way!

...Winter Storm On Track to Begin Later Today...

❗ This graphic shows the approximate time after which travel is strongly discouraged, along with expected snow accumulations. Basically, this is our thinking as to when the snow will really start sticking and travel conditions will deteriorate. The precipitation will begin a few hours before these times, but it will take a couple hours for the snow to stick easily. A band of heavy wet snow is very likely to set up in the Bangor/Greenville/Houlton region, with snowfall rates up to 1.5-2" per hour for a few hours. From about 6pm to midnight looks pretty bad. Areas north of Houlton will still have hazardous travel, but snow rates won't be quite as high. The coast will be a bit warmer with a rain/snow mix and little if any accumulation.

🙂 Temperatures will be above freezing areawide by late morning Friday, and travel conditions will be much better. Even waiting to travel until after 5am Friday is better than travelling this evening, as this evening will be the worst of it.

🟤 The ground is not frozen for most places, which will make this a messy storm to dig out from as it will be easy to dig up mud.

TRUMP FAMILY PURCHASES LARGE ESTATE IN AROOSTOOK

This is yuuuuuuuge!

The Trump family could soon be residents of the County – at least seasonally, perhaps.

Donald Trump, Jr. has recently purchased several hundred acres in Aroostook County. The property, valued at over 1 and a quarter million dollars is near the communities of Island Falls and Crystal in Aroostook County.

Steve Theriault of Fort Kent, the father of State Representative Austin Theriault, who recently received President Trump’s endorsement for Congress but lost to incumbent Jared Golden, recently sold the property to the Trump enterprise and will likely be used as a hunting camp.

Don, Jr. is an avid hunter and in 2022 took a bull moose in the annual moose hunt.

Welcome to The County.

On Wednesday, November 20th, a national test of the Alert Ready system is taking place in Canada.

TIME: 10:55 AM ADT

Alert Ready is Canada’s emergency alerting system. Alert Ready delivers critical and potentially life-saving alerts to Canadians through television, radio and LTE-connected and compatible wireless devices. The Alert Ready system was developed with many partners, including federal, provincial and territorial emergency management officials, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Pelmorex, the broadcasting industry and wireless service providers. Together, these partners work to ensure Canadians receive alerts immediately and know when to take action to stay safe.

If you hear a distinctive alert tone on television, radio or on your wireless device, please pay attention and take action right away.

Rich Mello caught a few seconds of video of an intense thunderstorm over Caribou Saturday night as it traveled east over The County. "I haven't seen an electrical storm this intense since we moved from Alabama. These were almost daily occurrences in Summer in the Deep South," Mello said. You ain’t just whistling Dixie, Rich. The slow moving storm, just after sundown, had the NWS in Caribou issue a Severe Thunderstorm Warning until 9:15 PM. Lighting strikes temporarily interrupted power throughout the region and firefighters checked out several reported lightning strikes.

Caribou Firefighters are on the scene of a small brush fire at Goughan's Farm on Fort Fairfield Road. The situation is under control and the fire was contained to less than an acre.

Channel X Radio is live from the Top O'Maine Trade Show in Madawaska!

Caribou Fire & Ambulance personnel gently carry the unidentified remains of a person from the east shore up the embankment of the Aroostook River to a waiting Ambulance Tuesday afternoon just before 5 PM. An area beneath the Fort Bridge remains an official crime scene as dozens of lawmen conduct their investigation and search for clues. A State Police investigator on the scene said a statement will be forthcoming later tonight. No official identification has been released.
