STATEWIDE (WGME) -- The historic storm that brought over 30 inches of snow, blasting winds and treacherous roads to Maine has finally moved out.
Mainers now face the back-breaking job of digging out from over 2-feet of snow in some parts.
The snow started Friday morning and lasted until Saturday afternoon causing the governor`s office to declare a limited state of emergency.
Complete blizzard conditions, including heavy snow and strong gusty winds ripped through mid-day Saturday, tapering off by the afternoon.
As of Saturday night, few power outages were reported.
Officials are still warning about the dangers of the winds overnight, which could bring large snow drifts into the roadways.
