This Maine County Is One of 2025’s Snowiest in America
This part of the United States sees a lot of snow, but one county in Maine, in particular, gets some of the most snow in the entire country!

Snow can be a love-it-or-hate-it kind of thing, depending on your feelings about winter. Whether you’re excited for snow-filled adventures or dreading the drives and endless shoveling, we’re diving into one of the snowiest counties in our country!
With that in mind, how do we determine which counties are snowier than others? What criteria are we using for this ranking?
Lawn Love’s report, ‘Winter Wonderlands: 2025’s Snowiest Counties,’ ranks 258 U.S. counties based on 'snowfall,' 'climate,' and 'snow removal preparedness.' Each factor within these categories was weighted for importance, and the overall ranking was determined by averaging these scores. The county with the highest score was ranked 1st, while the county with the lowest score was ranked 258th.
Now that we've (metaphorically) cleared that up, which of Maine’s 16 counties is being recognized as one of the snowiest in America?
According to Lawn Love’s report ‘Winter Wonderlands: 2025’s Snowiest Counties,’ the snowiest county in Maine, the 17th snowiest county in the country, and the 10th snowiest county in the contiguous United States, is none other than Aroostook County—known simply as ‘The County’ here in Maine.
Aroostook County has been named one of 2025’s snowiest counties in America, based on Lawn Love’s findings.
Further, Aroostook County ranked 18th for snowfall, 24th for climate, and 108th for snow removal preparedness. These rankings highlight its heavy snowfalls and moderately favorable climate, but challenges with snow removal efficiency.
There you have it! Aroostook County—or, if you’re from Maine, just ‘The County’—was recently ranked as one of the snowiest counties in the nation.
Does this surprise you? When you heard that one of Maine’s counties was among the snowiest in America, did you immediately think of Aroostook? We’d love to hear your thoughts! Feel free to join the conversation by messaging us on the app.
