A large winter storm
pounded the Northeastern US dumping a mixed bag of precipitation. Some
areas received heavy ice, some heavy sleet, some heavy snow, up to 17"
in PA. Here at CASI HQ we had some of each, along with temperatures in
the single digits. An extremely powerful High Pressure system caused
barometers to skyrocket, to 30.93" in the US and
30.99" in Canada. That same
system set a new record low for Maine of -55*
degrees F. For more information on the Allagash, ME temperature, see
this text file that was posted to the
WX-TALK internet newsgroup. *Update
- as of 2/17/99 This temperature was disproven due to instrument
malfunction. It was only -38 degrees. For a complete explanation and
analysis see the NWS Statement of
error.
