With our fall foliage coming to a close and freezing weather quickly approaching, we're constantly reminded that Maine is one of the coldest places in America. Bundled up in warm blankets and winter attire, it's easy to feel curious about exactly how cold our state is compared to everywhere else in the country. To put an end to your curiosity, let's find out exactly how cold our state truly is.
According to the Average Annual Temperatures that have been recorded for each state, Maine is the third coldest place in America.
That's right! In the top group of states that have earned the title of being the coldest places all year round in America, Maine made its way into the top three.
Recognized as being one of the most consistently cold states, our state is the most frigid during the spring.
While Maine may be the third coldest state when it comes to year-round average temperatures, we're ranked fourth when it comes to summer and winter temperatures.
With an average annual temperature of just 41 degrees Fahrenheit, our residents have learned to live with the cold.
This number isn't one that will shock any of our residents; on most days a temperature that high feels like a gift from above!
If you weren't feeling chilly enough already, let's talk about how The Old Farmer's Almanac has predicted that this winter will be much colder than normal!
Famous for their advanced weather predictions that have been known to have a roughly 80% accuracy, The Old Farmer's Almanac predicts that this winter will be much colder than the average. Included in the Northeast Region, the coldest periods for Maine will be between mid and late December, mid and later January, mid February and early March. In simpler terms, it's going to be cold all year so bundled up!
In the past, Caribou has been known for being one of the coldest cities in the entire country.
We're familiar with being acknowledged for our freezing cold weather, so this is nothing new to our residents. One of the most northeastern cities you'll find in America, the area is known for getting hit with significant amounts of snow and cold, dense air.
Speaking of snow, The Old Farmer's Almanac also predicts that the snowiest periods this year will be during mid November, late January, mid and late February and early to mid March. Once again, in simpler terms this basically means we can expect to be covered in a giant blanket of snow all winter long. Who else has already taken their heating blankets out of storage?
