You'll want to be warm when you arrive esp in January. I moved here from another new England state over a decade ago and you'll need the coat, the hat, the gloves, yeah.

I recommend also getting winter cleats for your boots so you can walk on the ice

Welcome to Maine! Yes! Absolutely this. If you plan on walking anywhere in the winter, get some sort of traction to clip on to your shoes. Ice can really build up on uneven sidewalks, especially if they are brick. I have these. They are a little pricier, but they last awhile. I have had mine for 5+ years. They are easy to get on and off once you break them in a little. https://www.rei.com/product/890608/kahtoola-microspikes-traction-system

I have these and I recommend them as well. Sometimes I use them just to get from house to car and parking lot at work to inside. Mornings can be slick during ice storm before it warms up.
