AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Middle Inlet about 5,000 feet above the ground was over British Columbia three days ago, and over the Canadian Prairies a day ago, about 2,270 miles back along its path. 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 Middle Inlet stands on

Middle Inlet’s center stands about 710 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 680 ft to 910 ft, a difference of 230 ft: rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Mount Tom, about 1,070 ft, 3 miles west-northwest.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks, from the Paleoproterozoic, 1.6 to 2.5 billion years old.

The section below crosses 4 rock units mapped at the surface.

THE WATER

Where Middle Inlet’s rain goes

A raindrop that lands in Middle Inlet reaches Lake Michigan by way of Upper Middle Inlet, Middle Inlet, the The Outlet and the Peshtigo: about 50 river miles. From there it moves on through the Great Lakes, over Niagara Falls and down the St. Lawrence to the Atlantic.
