For the second time in three days, area residents were faced with slick, snow-covered roads as a one-two jab of quick-moving Alberta clippers moved through the area.

As was on Saturday, most motorists were taking it easy and taking the extra time to get where they were going, but still there were a few fender benders and cars off the road.

State Police dispatchers reported around noon there were no serious crashes in Lebanon today, while in Rochester police reported three minor accidents with no injuries.

"No problems so far," said Maine State Police Trooper Adam Schmidt around noon while on duty in Lebanon. "Folks are learning how to drive after the first two storms, and with the holiday not as many people are out so we're doing OK."

The location of the three Rochester mishaps were not immediately available.

Meanwhile, The Lebanon Voice learned there was a serious accident on Route 75 during Saturday's snowstorm.

According to Northeast Fire Alerts, a single car crashed around 4 p.m. A picture uploaded onto the site shows a car into a tree.

The site noted there was entrapment, however the extent of the injuries or number of occupants in the vehicle are unclear.

Milton Police did confirm today there was a serious accident on Route 75 in Milton, but weren't able to comment further.
