Passy Pete, the legendary lobster from the Passagassawakeag River in Belfast, has predicted an early winter in his annual forecast at Heritage Park. Hosted by the Belfast Area Chamber of Commerce, Pete selected a scroll containing a poem about winter, signaling the arrival of the cold season. Returning to Belfast Bay after delivering his prediction, Pete has become known for his quirky weather forecasts.
Although the Bangor Daily News noted that Pete only has a 22 percent success rate in predicting the weather, he has been more accurate in forecasting an early winter rather than prolonging the summer season. Pete’s predictions have been a fun and quirky tradition in Belfast for nearly a decade, providing entertainment for residents and visitors alike.
As summer draws to a close, Pete’s forecast serves as a reminder to enjoy the remaining days of warm weather before winter settles in. With the days getting shorter and the temperatures starting to drop, the transition to winter is quickly approaching. Whether or not Pete’s prediction comes true, the community is gearing up for the colder months ahead.
Residents are encouraged to savor the last moments of summer and prepare for the arrival of winter, as indicated by Passy Pete’s latest forecast. As the seasons change, Belfast remains a vibrant and welcoming community for all to enjoy.
