PORTLAND – U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe will be wearing a cast for two months after breaking her wrist in a fall at her Falmouth home.

Snowe says she was in a hurry to catch a plane when she slipped on a patch of ice in her driveway during a snowstorm last week.

She was given ice and a bandage for the swelling for the flight to Washington, where a doctor fitted her with a black cast.
