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

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.
