Mt. Agamenticus has hiking trails to the top, but also a road and parking at the top.
It's in Ogunquit, maybe 35 minutes south of where you'll be.

That’s a motel painting from an Asian “art” factory.
c. 1960s. Paintings like this do have some value, esp with the kitschy frame. I’d say maybe $75 to a hipster collector.

Are you aware that private folks who open small businesses aren't the same ones who build public bridges?
Do you have an understanding of how the world works?

Well then ask the people who make those predictions.
OP asked for first hand experience. I gave mine.

Historical data isn’t used for weather forecasts. Current data and computer models are.

Please enlighten us as to how non-idiots can accurately predict internet outages in and entire city of 20,000 residents.

No, I can’t easily do that. Because it’s not predictable and it “typically” doesn’t go any typical way.

I lived in Saco for 20 years.
My experience is that it’s not predictable.

Not really.
Some major storms have zero outages. A minor dusting can send some truck into a pole and take out service for a day.
There’s no way to predict.
