THORNDIKE — With an impending spring nor’easter slated for inland communities this weekend, the town opted to postpone its Town Meeting for a week.
Originally scheduled for Saturday, Thorndike residents will now gather at the fire house on 85 Gordon Hill Road on Saturday, April 24, at 9 a.m. for the annual Town Meeting.
“When we did the town warrant, we put a rain date in, so we opted to go with the rain date yesterday,” Thorndike Second Selectman Jeff Trafton said.
The spring nor’easter comes as the region enjoys a stretch of mild weather with temperatures reaching approximately 70 degrees. In central Maine, the precipitation is expected to start mid-morning Friday and carry through until Saturday morning.
“It looks like it’s going to be a really wet snow. The fact that it’s starting during daylight hours is a positive because you have a strong April sun,” National Weather Service meteorologist Donny Dumont said. “Overall, travel impact should be limited, but we should get a slushy couple inches.”
The weather service issued a winter weather storm warning for most of New Hampshire and portions of western Maine bordering Skowhegan, Waterville, Augusta and Franklin County. While snow may not accumulate, the area is expected to get between 2-3 inches total.
Thorndike voters will elect a board of selectmen, make a decision on a salt and sand shed, and parse through budget articles.
“Everything stays the same,” Trafton said. “We just postponed the date until next Saturday because of the snowstorm coming in.”
