⚠ Nor'easters remain a serious possibility through March and can dump 15-30 cm (6-12 inches) of heavy wet snow in a single system, shutting down roads and canceling flights at Bangor International Airport for twelve to twenty-four hours. Monitor forecasts in the week before your trip and build schedule flexibility around storm windows.
⚠ Black ice forms on roads and sidewalks overnight and persists on shaded surfaces well into the morning. Walk cautiously, on bridge surfaces and north-facing sidewalks that the low March sun never reaches directly.
⚠ Wind chill regularly pushes the effective temperature below -12°C (10°F) during morning hours, along the Penobscot River corridor. Exposed skin can begin to suffer frostbite within thirty minutes at these levels. Cover all exposed skin for waterfront walks.
