I'm from northern Maine, extreme northern Maine. Here's a map:
Just figured I'd share my website which is dedicated to this location, known as the St John Valley.
Basically, we're about 50-60 miles north of Caribou through the woods...you're driving along over rolling hills and suddenly come upon a large Valley that stretches from near the Allagash wilderness over and around the tip of northern Maine to south of Van Buren. Up here the closest real city is Quebec City, I can see New Brunswick/Canada right now just looking out my window. It's directly across the St John River.
The nearest section of Quebec is about 10 miles north of here.
Here's a quick picture from earlier this last winter, although frankly it stills feels like winter out there. By my standards we're currently having a white easter...the woods are still snowcovered. Kind of nice...although this past winter was significantly lower in the snowfall department, most of which came early in the season, ie Nov and early Dec, so we never really got our snow depth above 20 inches...normal each winter is to push 40 inches by late Feb into mid March. White easters supposedly are very common.
And here's the link to my website, which has a lot more pictures in the photo section, and a little bit of climate info.
