The power is out... and it might not come back for days. CMP estimates that most Mainers should have power back by Saturday - but what do you do in the meantime?
We have a wind advisory and the wind gusts have caused downed trees and power outages throughout Maine. As of 4:45 this afternoon, CMP is reporting over 26,000 customers without power.
Good news for Maine homeowners, Central Maine Power customers who opt for the standard offer for electricity are going to see their rates drop starting in March.
It happened on the way home from my band Sharon Buck & Dixon Road's gig at Moose Alley in Rangeley on Saturday night.
And it wasn't funny.
The police didn't think so either.
Just after CMP and work crews from out of state have restored the vast majority of power to the over 123,000 customers that had lost it to the ice storm last weekend, more heavy, wet snow is heading towards Maine.
The Ice Storm of 2013 resulted into over 100,000 CMP and Bangor Hydro customers to be without power, many for more than a few days. Work crews from CMP and Bangor Hydro and many work crews from out of state have been working around the clock to restore the power.
