22 Sep 08 - Parts of Aroostook County and other parts of the state saw sub-freezing temperatures early Friday morning, with record breaking cold recorded in Caribou. According to Rich Norton, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Caribou, Caribou broke a previous record of 29 degrees set in 1995. On Friday morning, the temperature dipped to 27 degrees. While that broke a record in Caribou, the city was still not as cold as Allagash, were the temperature fell to 25 degrees. A freeze warning was in effect Friday morning from the St. John Valley to interior Down East Maine, as meteorologists had predicted that clear skies and light winds would combine with a cold Canadian airmass to force temperatures to plunge to record or near-record territory early Friday. Temperatures were predicted to be in the low to mid 20s across northern and central parts of the state. See entire article by Jen Lynds |
