Presque Isle is the largest city in Aroostook County — Maine's largest county by area and its most rural — experiencing some of the most extreme blizzard and cold conditions in the eastern United States. The region is so remote that extended storm-related road closures can isolate communities for days. The former Presque Isle Air Force Base site is now a commercial airport serving as the region's only air connection during ground transport disruptions.
