Caribou Makes New Snow Record
Well, it happened. According to the National Weather Service at Caribou:
From beginning of the 2007-2008 snowfall season through midnight March 20, 2008, the National Weather Service in Caribou, ME has recorded 182.5 inches of snowfall. This morning’s measurement (21 March) puts the total at 184.5 inches. This seasonal snowfall total is the greatest amount ever, since records began in 1939. The previous record of 181.1 inches was set in the 1954-1955 snowfall season. … 184.5 inches equals 15 feet, four and one-half inches.
Now the wind is howling and we’re trying to keep up with the drifting. I’ll take a photo of what I see out my window and post soon.
