Heavy snow causes scattered outages, CMP ready for more snow and wind AUGUSTA, Maine, Feb. 25, 2010 â Crews from Central Maine Power Company (CMP) spent much of Thursday restoring power to customers in Franklin, Somerset, and Oxford Counties who lost service after up to a foot of heavy wet snow fell in the western mountains and foothills.
âLuis Rios. Dear Luis, There are multiple explanations. It's easy to understand that, during a snowstorm, falling snow greatly diminishes the distance that sound waves will carry (heavy falling rain has a similar effect). Snow cover also affects the audible distance of sounds. Colorado State Climatologist Nolan Doesken says: When the ground has a thick layer of fresh, fluffy snow, sound waves are readily absorbed at the surface of the snow. However, the snow surface can become smooth and hard as it ages or if there have been strong winds.
