Old Farmer’s Almanac Predicts Spring With No Snow For Maine

Earlier this month, the infamous groundhog warned the entire country that there would be six more weeks of winter.

For many in the northeast, that isn't what they wanted to hear. It's been an exceptionally long winter in many parts of New England, including Maine, and people could use a few signs of spring.

Perhaps that sign has arrived.

The Old Farmer's Almanac has released their 2026 spring forecast. And if you were looking for hope based on solar science, climatology and meteorology, you're about to get it.

Old Farmer's Almanac Predicts Warmth in New England Except For Maine

According to the Old Farmer's Almanac 2026 spring forecast, almost all of New England is set to enjoy a mild and very dry spring.

The exception is Maine. While Vacationland is expected to see drier conditions like the remainder of New England, the extra warmth is not predicted to join it.

Maine will continue to feel cooler Canadian air through the early parts of spring before an eventual warm up in May.

The one salvation from the Old Farmer's Almanac forecast is the promise of no significant snowfall expected for the majority of spring. A late-March snow event still remains possible.

The Farmers' Almanac Has Forecasted The Exact Opposite For Maine This Spring

There's always been a little confusion between the two books, the Old Farmer's Almanac and the Farmers' Almanac.

Once based in Lewiston, Maine, the Farmers' Almanac was purchased by a New York company and will continue releasing seasonal forecasts.

That includes for Maine and New England, where their 2026 spring forecast calls for a slow start to the season warmth wise and lots of storms.

The Farmers' Almanac included a mention that some spring storms this year will likely include snow. The Farmers' Almanac also isn't buying that Maine will see above-average temperatures in March. Or even April.
