The icy hand of approaching winter ran up the spine of the Twin Cities yesterday and put a finger on the mercury to keep it below the freezing point throughout the day. While Twin City residents shivered and decided it was time to change to a heavier coat and add more anti-freeze to the car radiator, the temperature rose from a frigid 18 degrees at 4 a.m. to 24 degrees at 8 a.m. And that’s as warm as it was all day. The mercury varied a degree or two but never passed 24 degrees. From 4 to 8 p.m. the temperature was a steady 24 degrees and then it dropped on degree at 9 p.m. At midnight the temperature was 22 degrees.

Extensively damaging a parked car in its path, an unattended delivery truck rolled from an incline and plowed into the Bonneau’s Supermarket’s front plate glass windows Monday, ripping off the frames, sending a Lewiston man to the hospital and building up a tab of $12,300 in damages. Police said the truck driver Gregory Sands of Auburn parked the truck owned by Vincent Fruit on an incline in front of It’s a Good Pizza late Monday morning, before it rolled free. Building up speed, the truck veered left and sideswiped a car parked in the supermarket’s parking lot owned by Gerald Duchette of 148 Scribner Blvd., causing approximately $2,000 to its left side, police said.
