AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Lincoln about 5,000 feet above the ground was over British Columbia three days ago, and over the Canadian Prairies a day ago, about 2,490 miles back along its path. 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 Lincoln stands on

Lincoln’s center stands about 830 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 730 ft to 890 ft, a difference of 160 ft: gently rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Cherneyville Hill, about 1,020 ft, 14 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 Lincoln’s rain goes

A raindrop that lands in Lincoln reaches Lake Michigan by way of Silver Creek and the Ahnapee: about 10 river miles. From there it moves on through the Great Lakes, over Niagara Falls and down the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic.
