Our Pine Tree State sees plenty of ‘snowy days’ each year, but one day has to be snowier than all the rest, right?
Listen, we get it—weather is unpredictable, and there’s no way to know for sure when or how much it will snow. That’s exactly why we’re leaning into the word ‘might’ in our headline. Historically, this day has seen some serious snow, but we’re not guaranteeing a blizzard. Plausible deniability? Absolutely.
With that in mind, how do we determine which day of the year—of course, during winter—is the snowiest in Maine?
To identify Maine’s snowiest day, historical weather data was analyzed for patterns across multiple years. The focus was on dates with repeated snowfall, significant accumulations, and notable storm events. Records from Bangor and Portland were referenced, as both typically experience peak snowfalls in January, with Bangor averaging 20 inches and Portland averaging 19.7 inches for the month, according to VisitMaine.com and BestPlaces.net.
Alright, now that we’ve cleared that up, how did we pick the date? It might sound like we’re planning a wedding, but nope! You may still want to ‘save the date’ and prepare for some serious snow.…
