The Farmers' Almanac predicts that weather from Maine through New York will be fair. The temperatures could be cool but those that travel both short and long distances should not expect much, if any, precipitation.

The only exception will be places in higher elevation, where snow flurries are part of the Thanksgiving forecast from the Farmers' Almanac.

Throughout New England, the Farmers' Almanac calls for lots of precipitation. In Maine, inland areas and the mountains should see regular snowstorms which will be great for skiers.

It's the coast that is in for a 'tricky' winter. The Farmers' Almanac predicts that the heavy dose of storms from El Nino will bring mixed precipitation to Maine's coast. That will come in form of sleet and the dreaded freezing rain.

The Farmers' Almanac also predicts more dramatic cold snaps for Maine than the state has seen in recent years. Those cold snaps typically produce single-digit or below-zero temperatures.
