Winter Storm Hernando Could Bring Blizzard Conditions & Power Outages to Maine, New Hampshire, & Massachusetts

Living in New England, you would think that we would all be used to dealing with snowstorms and winter weather.

However, because the last few winters have been kind of mild, we have grown accustomed to dealing with warmer winters and only having to deal with a few snow events.  Clearly, the winter of 2025/2026 is more like the winters of the 80s and 90s.  We've had to deal with a series of snowstorms and some brutally cold temperatures.

Now, it is looking like Monday's storm could end up being the worst one of the winter.

How Will Winter Storm Hernando Impact Maine, New Hampshire, & Massachusetts?

According to Weather.com, Winter Storm Hernando will cause massive issues for people living on the East Coast of the United States.  High winds will cause blizzard conditions and widespread power outages.

In Central Maine, the storm will bring up to a foot of snow and will roar in with high winds.  The Augusta/Waterville area could see 50 MPH gusts.
