Northeaster Dumps 10 Inches in Maine Snowstorm

Temperatures plunged below zero, power largely held, two men died shoveling snow, and officials warned of continuing hazards as highways remained slick and traffic slowed nationwide. Weather warnings, closed turnspikes, and arctic air defined a perilous start to the week.
