Technically, it’s possible Maine has experienced colder temperatures in the past, but officially, this is the coldest reading ever recorded.

We’ve all been there—bundled up for winter, feeling relatively warm… except for those two body parts that refuse to cooperate: your ears and your nose. Well, back in 1873, a 15-year-old from Farmington, Maine, decided he was done suffering and came up with a revolutionary invention.

The best thing we can do in brutally cold conditions is to dress appropriately. Layers are your best friend.

We may be used to cold temperatures here in the Pine Tree State, but we’re certainly not used to temperatures like these!

Believe it or not, the first group of people who came to Maine from Europe said NOPE! It was too cold, and they left.

A reminder of winter will move into Maine this week, bringing frigid temperatures and a chance for snow just as spring is set to arrive.

A groundbreaking invention warms that certain part of your body that always seems to get cold in the winter.

If you’re planning on hopping on a flight at any of the major airports in our Pine Tree State, don’t even try to check any of these things in your bags!

This winter in Maine has already been one for the books, but before we experience seriously cold temperatures, this is important information to know.
