Here is my weekly weather quiz question for the last time. What is “The Hague Line?” Here is the correct answer. The Hague Line is the North Atlantic boundary between the U.S. and Canada fishing waters as determined by the World Court in The Hague, Netherlands. I’ll have a new weekly weather quiz question for you starting Monday. The first person to post the correct answer as a comment on this page will win a week of free personalized weather forecasts tailored to your needs. Good luck.
