Freezing Rain Advisory Mon 12/23

The National Weather Service in Caribou has continued the freezing rain advisory through 6 PM tonight, Monday, December 23rd.

Please allow plenty of time to defrost your windshields today. Do NOT start driving until your front and back windshields are clear of ice, and you have full visibility through the driver's and passenger side windows. Roads for the most part are snow and ice covered, so allow for extra time driving to your destination.

It will be very cold starting tomorrow night, so you will want to remove as much snow and ice from driveways before everything freezes!
