Weekend snow and freezing temps hit Bath hard
The weatherman warned four to five inches of snow and a sharp temperature drop and it delivered. Snow fell Friday night and lingered into Sunday with lows reaching 14 below in Hardings and around 10 above by Sunday night. Travel was dangerous as dry snow packed hard and crews cleared streets while dry batteries failed for many drivers. Fire crews responded to chimney fires, a car blaze, and an electronic heater fire at Bath Iron Works with no injuries or damages reported.
