You May Not Like These Predictions About Maine’s Brutally Snowy Upcoming Winter
I know, I know. We’re not yet done with summer and we’re already talking about winter. We’re not happy about it either. But, there’s no avoiding that we’re headed in the direction of the cold and, like all good things, the sun and warmer temps must soon come to an end. While we all hope that end comes much later than we expect, the reality is that winter might be a bit more brutal than we’d like this year. The revered Farmer’s Almanac has released their 2018 winter predictions of Maine and…well, it’s not looking good.
The Farmers Almanac is the go-to source for what to expect in our weather each year and they've just released the long-awaited information for December, January, February and March in Maine.
But, the good news is that temperatures are likely going to range from normal to higher-than-normal, which means we can leave the house without dressing like an L.L. Bean mannequin.
In fact, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is saying that temperatures in Maine will be about 33% higher than average this winter.
But, the reasonable temperatures are expected to bring snowfall that surpasses what we've seen in the recent past.
Those looking forward to the snow will be especially happy around January 20-23rd, February 4-7th & 16-19th, and March 1-3rd & 20-23rd when snow along the entire Atlantic Seaboard is expected to be heavy.
