Believe it or not, white Christmases have become fewer and farther between in recent years. It seems like snow on Christmas morning is getting rarer, and for many, it just doesn’t feel like Christmas if there’s no snow on the ground.

Now, what exactly is the Farmer’s Almanac, and what authority do they have to make these bold predictions year after year?

The Farmer’s Almanac is a publication known for its long-range weather forecasts, gardening tips, and seasonal advice. Founded in 1818, it uses a mix of solar science, climatology, and meteorology to make predictions.

The Almanac provides detailed, region-specific weather forecasts, helping readers prepare for each season’s conditions.

Recently, it released its ‘Christmas Forecast 2024,’ offering a sneak peek at whether certain areas can expect a snowy Christmas Day.

Alright, with all that established, what is the Farmer’s Almanac predicting for Christmas in Maine this year?

According to the 2025 Old Farmer’s Almanac Christmas Forecast, Maine’s prospects are a bit of a mixed bag. Regarding New England, they explain that there is a chance of a white Christmas in northern Maine, but nowhere else in the region. The map provided by the Farmer’s Almanac indicates that approximately Lincoln and areas north of Lincoln have a ‘Chance of a White Christmas.’

So there you have it! If you’re in northern Maine, you may have a chance for a white Christmas; otherwise, the projections are not in our favor.
