SPRING REVIEW '00_________________SEBAGO,ME
This review has been given in Lillian Nason's memory
MIKE ANDERSON IS A WEATHER OBSERVER FOR DAVE SANTORO OF NEWSCHANNEL 13 IN PORTLAND, AND 
MORE SNOW? OH NO!
YES, WE DID HAVE MORE SNOW THIS SPRING!
WE HAD 2.6" OF SNOW DURING APRIL.
FOR THE SEASON, WE ENDED UP WITH 60" TOTAL.
AND WE HAD COLD READINGS IN THE LOWER 20'S ON THE 13TH OVERNIGHT. BRRR!!
COOL,WET SPRING
WE HAD A LOT MORE RAIN THIS SPRING.
THIS SPRING WE RECEIVED 10.6" FOR APRIL & MAY.
LAST YEAR WE ONLY SAW 4.4" FOR THE TWO MONTHS.
********************
SOUTH WIND
AGAIN, WE SAW A CHANGE IN TEMPS IN A SHORT
DISTANCE THIS SPRING DUE TO THE SOUTH WIND.
THE SOUTH WIND KEEPS THE COAST REALLY
CHILLY FROM THE OCEAN. WHILE THE MORE THE
SOUTH WIND BLOWS OVER LAND, THE WARMER IT IS.
WESTERN MAINE AND AREAS AT LEAST 50 MILES
AWAY FROM THE OCEAN GET THE WARMEST TEMPERATURES IN A SOUTH WIND.
WHILE PLACES IN BETWEEN GET SOME MODIFIED OCEAN AIR.
LOOK AT THIS ESTIMATED GRAPH BELOW:
THIS IS WHY THE HIGH TEMPS IN SEBAGO WERE
SIMILAR TO FRYEBURG, SOUTH PARIS,FARMINGTON,MILO
BECAUSE OF THE RED ZONE.
NOW OTHER TOWNS LIKE HARTFORD AND AUGUSTA HAD HIGH TEMPERATURES SIMILAR TO
EACH OTHER DUE TO THE MIDDLE ZONE.
TOWNS LIKE GRAY AND LEWISTON WERE IN THE MODIFIED ZONE
AND HAD TEMPS SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN MIDDLE ZONE BUT WARMER THAN THE COAST
LOOK AT THE COASTLINE, IT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND HOW IT WORKS.
BELOW ARE SOME HIGHS RECORDED IN MAINE OF A SOUTH WIND:
MAY 4TH:
FRYEBURG...........76 F
SEBAGO.............73 F
GRAY...............64 F
LEWISTON...........64 F
HARTFORD...........64 F
MAY 31ST:
FRYEBURG...........75 F
SEBAGO.............75 F
HARTFORD...........68 F
AUGUSTA............67 F
GRAY...............65 F
LEWISTON...........65 F
PORTLAND...........63 F
********************
SEBAGO WATER TEMPERATURE
THE WATER TEMP STARTED COLD.
IT WAS A SLOW WARM UP ALSO.
BY THE END OF MAY, THE LAKE WAS AROUND 57F
WITHIN 3 FEET.
WITH A SURFACE TEMP OF 61F WITH DIRECT SUN.
IT IS A BIT LOWER THAN OTHER YEARS.
ONE WEEKEND IN LATE MAY I MEASURED 67 F A FEW YEARS AGO.
MOST YEARS HOWEVER, IT STAYS IN THE UPPER 50'S UNTIL THE
HEAT COMES.!!!!!!!!!
********************
IN MEMORY OF
SOME SAD NEWS:
MY NEIGHBOR AND GOOD FRIEND DIED THIS SPRING.
LILLIAN NASON WAS A VERY NICE WOMAN.
SHE RAN THE NORTH SEBAGO POST OFFICE FOR MANY YEARS.
SHE GAVE THE POST OFFICE UP IN '97.
HER HUSBAND CLIFF DIED SOON AFTER.
I WILL MISS MY NEIGHBOR AND MY FRIEND.
SHE WAS A VERY SWEET, KIND LADY WHO WE ALL WILL REMEMBER.
WE WERE SO BLESSED TO HAVE SUCH NICE NEIGHBORS.
MY GOD BLESS LILLIAN NOW.
