A dangerous snow squall was located along a line extending from north of Pittsfield to Ashland, moving east at 60 mph. The squall is producing intense bursts of heavy snow, gusty winds, and visibility dropping to less than a quarter mile,

Plow truck drivers are welcoming the increase in activity, and they are warning people to be careful out on the roads.

Yet another snowstorm is gearing up to move into Maine on Saturday night. The highest totals with this storm look to be in southern Maine. More winter storms are expected next week as the active pattern continues.
