Maine is temperate oceanic while Kherson is temperate continental climate. Big difference.

Large bodies of water have a significant local impact, as well as latitude. I expect the local weather on the coast in Kherson (mid-40s+ lat), not to mention Crimea, is significantly different than, say north of Kiev, inland, (mid 50s lat).

Regardless of how Maine is classified, reality is more like a lot of microclimates. Southern Maine has whole different temperature range than north of Bangor. And inland Maine is totally different than the coast.

I am in the same region

3 miles from the ocean things are a bit warmer but a week of arctic air and the ground will solid. Betcha it’s frozen by the end Of the month.

Iirc, forecast showed Kiev with 4-5 days at 17-18F next week before back to 25-30 ish. That will give a good deep freeze. Don't know how far south those temps will extend, though.

I'm not taking any bets on Nov or December tho, lol. Frozen ground is just one pre-req.

They also need to finish taking out power, which I'm not sure they've done yet. And there are likely other triggers we don"t know.
