Even with a mild start to its winter, Aroostook County is one of the few areas in the state with enough snow cover and cold temperatures to support winter outdoor recreation. With a current snowpack of 8 to 12 inches, Aroostook has more snow than even parts of western Maine, according to the National Weather Service in Caribou. Somerset and Franklin counties have similar snowpacks to that in Aroostook.
