"Winds will also remain gusty and may result in additional downed branches and limbs due to the weight of freshly fallen snow.", National Weather Service, via statement. Many roads, particularly in York County, Maine, have been left impassable due to debris and fallen power lines. "I encourage all residents to remain alert during today's storm. High winds and rains can cause unexpected and often disastrous weather, I urge everyone to stay safe.", Ed Warren, East Kingston, New Hampshire, fire department chief, via statement.
