AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Pike about 5,000 feet above the ground was over Canada three days ago, and over the northern Plains a day ago, about 2,660 miles back along its path. It came down from about 12,700 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from British Columbia; at 10,000 feet, from the Gulf of Alaska. It has stayed over land, which is why it feels dry. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses and the GFS beyond them, nine paths at each of three heights.

THE GROUND

What Pike stands on

Pike’s center stands about 1,620 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,130 ft to 2,140 ft, a difference of 1,010 ft: steep hill country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Big Knob, about 2,340 ft, 15 miles northeast.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Allegheny Formation (sandstone), from the Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old.

The section below crosses 5 rock units mapped at the surface.

THE WATER

Where Pike’s rain goes

A raindrop that lands in Pike reaches Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean by way of Hartshorn Run, the West Branch Susquehanna and the Susquehanna: about 310 river miles.

THE WAY DOWN, TO SCALE
Pike≈ 310 mi · Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean
FROM THE CENTER OF PIKE ≈ 310 mi to Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean Hartshorn Run → West Branch Susquehanna → Susquehanna
