moving to maine for the winter...nuts?

hello!
my boyfriends job is requiring a move to maine, to the northeast of caribou?...
what can i expect in the winter?
i have a dodge stratus, not exactly good for driving in feet of snow...do i need 4wd?
am i nuts for even thinkong of moving there in dec?
im from ohio, but i know we dont get snow like that here...any advice would be helpful for the northeast part of the state....
thanks
