Maine winters

New England freeze

Maine winters are the cold season in the northeastern U.S. state, notorious for their severity—heavy snowfall, subzero temperatures, and long stretches of darkness.

The phrase often appears in discussions of hardiness or regional character: If you can survive Maine winters, you can survive anything.

It suggests both a literal climate and a test of resilience.
