AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Casco about 5,000 feet above the ground was over British Columbia three days ago, and over the Canadian Prairies a day ago, about 2,460 miles back along its path. Near the ground the air came from the Canadian Prairies; at 10,000 feet, from the open Pacific. 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 Casco stands on

Casco’s center stands about 730 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 660 ft to 830 ft, a difference of 170 ft: gently rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Cherneyville Hill, about 1,020 ft, 11 miles south-southwest.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Silurian, undivided (dolostone), from the Silurian, 422 to 445 million years old.

The section below crosses 2 rock units mapped at the surface.

THE WATER

Where Casco’s rain goes

A raindrop that lands in Casco reaches Lake Michigan by way of Rio Creek, Silver Creek and the Ahnapee: about 14 river miles. From there it moves on through the Great Lakes, over Niagara Falls and down the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic.
