I don't think the eclipse has much effect. Maine is probably enjoying the south edge of the arctic warming. Here at the north edge of agriculture on the great plains, we have had a very mild winter with little snow, and bare patches are appearing over a month early. A friend has been monitoring temperatures on Baffin Island, and they have been much like ours. The arctic ocean is burping methane, and the eskimos say there is so much fresh meltwater around that when they shoot a seal, it sinks.
