What to Expect

That is over 3x the US average annual snowfall of 28". With 71.5" of annual snowfall, a quality snow blower and heavy-duty shovel are worth the investment. Ice melt should be stocked before the first storm hits.

Off-season is the cheapest time to gear up for winter in Bar Harbor. Stock up before the first storm.
