NHSP didn't say if anyone was injured in the crashes.

Meteorologists with the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine said ice had covered everything outside their office, which they measured at just over a quarter-inch thick.

"This morning our flag was so ice covered that it barely moved in winds 10-15 MPH," NWS officials said.

The NWS office in Caribou, Maine reported a half inch of new snow and 3 inches of snow on the ground.
