Probably wouldn't notice a 3.0. I had a 4.0 once when I was in NE. I thought it was the grader doing the (dirt) road behind the house. In a big storm, a 3.0 wouldn't be any different than a town plow going by.
Was in ME for a while in the 00's and a lot as a kid. Still my favorite place.
I don't believe this either, except that Calais is a border town, like Detroit. Tied in with rumors of CCP troops in Canada, I look at it a little closer. Do you know if Robbinson has a ferry service across to CA?
