We're not going to run out of water like the southwest, or burn completely down like the west in general. But climate stress is going to change our species composition, affect biodiversity, create opportunities for pests and invasive species, change the hydrological regime, and affect agriculture and resource extraction (fishing, timber) and touristry (wintersports, sportfishing).

We're already seeing droughts in Central Maine. I would say we will face water shortages just like the rest of the continent.

I do worry about forests burning giving the crazy swings that could result in a nasty long drought.
