Maine's snowpack conditions vary across its numerous mountain ranges. The most prominent ranges include the Mahoosucs, Bigelow Range, and the Western Mountains. These ranges provide a significant amount of snow for the state. The snowpack in Maine is crucial for the state's water resources as it feeds into several runoff rivers and watersheds such as the Kennebec, Penobscot, and Androscoggin rivers.
