Snow removal in Bangor, ME
Snow shoveling in Bangor, on demand
Bangor's older neighborhoods climb the hills on both sides of the Kenduskeag Stream, with big Victorian homes on the West Side and East Side and newer subdivisions toward the edges of the city. Public Works plows a designated list of sidewalks but says it cannot maintain residential sidewalks on every street, so many homeowners clear their own walks along with steep driveways.

Winter in Bangor: snow, ice and sidewalks
Bangor sits inland on the Penobscot River, colder than coastal Maine, so most storms fall as snow and the snowpack often lasts for weeks. Long cold stretches and refreezing meltwater keep driveways and walks icy between storms.
Typical snowfall. Bangor's official station at Bangor International Airport averages about 75 inches of snow a season (74.6 inches, 1991-2020 normals). Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020 (annual/seasonal).
