Supporters of an effort to resurrect passenger train service between Portland and Auburn will be unveiling details of their plan this Friday at a forum at the University of Southern Maine.

The snow has started flying with blizzard warnings posted for much of the state. An unexpected burst of snow started just in time for the Friday morning commute and it has led to a major car accident on I-295.
