103 degrees in the Portland, Maine area... I was out in the middle of Sebago
Lake at the time, and it felt hotter than that (but at least we could jump
off the boat into the water)! I think it was August 2nd in 1975. I know
it's the record for the hottest day in Maine, and it was hotter elsewhere--
I think New Bedford set its record at 107.

That may sound "cold" to folks in the Southwest, but it's pretty unheard of
for New England!

I doubt either of these will be broken now that I live at UNV.

I'm sure many of you out there have seen hotter ;-)
