Could I ask what car you’re driving? I only see flat-beds and those large 4x4s here in mid-coast Maine. (A friend of mine driving a Honda Civic had his fender torn off on the stump of a fir tree. He was driving cavalierly as if at home in Virginia and we giggled behind his back.)

How lucky you are. My firmest friend in Tenant’s Harbor is married to a Bk’lyn girl. (Hope she’s not a bigamist, lol!!!) I’m a NYer, too, so maybe we’re drawn to the region.

I drive a tractor, 3 snowmobiles, a tugboat (in NYC). I drive 3 cars all FWD- sedan/Minivan/Passat wagon. My wife too. We don't drive in bad weather. Getting stuck can be a death sentence.

yes trucks are popular all over Maine but a sedan does fine IF:

Front wheel drive. Studded tires. Block heater. Most important of all- ground clearance. The lower the belly of a car the sooner it bogs down in deepening snow. Look for underbody height. If you drive a car with 9" of ground clearance, a 6-8" snowstorm is nothing.

Deeper than that? Don't go out till the plow goes by, you damn fool!
