Maine Weather: 02-22-2026

Good evening, folks! I'm DJ Huzz. And this is the Maine Weather Podcast for Sunday, February 22nd. A Nor'easter is bearing down on us. And this one means business. Blizzard warnings are up for the entire coastline. Kittery to Eastport, every mile of it. Snow rolls in Monday morning and the heaviest band hammers Portland between 8 AM and 5 PM. We're talking 9 to 13 inches. Winds screaming at 35 to 50 miles an hour. Whiteout conditions. Zero visibility. If you're thinking about driving Monday evening, don't. Seriously. Your car doesn't want to be out there. Now push inland toward Augusta and Waterville. Snow starts around 7 AM and piles up 4 to 8 inches. Less wind, but gusts still hit 40 miles an hour. That's enough to send drifts crawling across every back road. Up in Bangor, you're looking at 3 to 7 inches with the same drifting problem. The western mountains catch a break. Only 2 to 4 inches. But here's the kicker. Overnight temps crash to minus 3. Tuesday morning will feel like someone left the freezer door open on the whole state. And up in The County? Light snow, just an inch or two. Winds still gust to 35 miles an hour though. And temps drop to 2 degrees with wind chills near minus 7. That's frostbite territory in minutes. Here's your week ahead. Tuesday gives us a breather. Catch your breath, dig out. Wednesday brings round two, another 1 to 3 inches statewide. Then Friday a third system could mix rain and snow, making travel messy all over again. Three storms in five days. Classic February in Maine. Fill your gas tanks tonight. Grab extra batteries. Stock up on something warm to drink. You'll want to be ready before the first flake falls. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care, Maine!
