Extremes

The following information was tabulated from nearly fifty years of data, which was kindly given to me from the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine. The data that is represented in these lists from 1960 to 2001 was recorded by their local coop observer here in North Conway. Please note that these lists are unofficial.
