lat2d, lon2d

Hello,
I have 5 years of binary data from MM5. The data has lat2d and lon2d
dimensions.
I wish to plot the annual cycle of rainfall (xy plot) for a given
location (say 40N, 65W). In a normal netcdf file I could have used
coordinate subscripting for this.
I need some ideas on how I can extract the location of interest. I
converted the binary data (Lambert Conformal projection) into
netcdf but the dimensions of my rainfall variable is as follows;

(0) ==========> printVarInfo: PREC_E

Variable: x (parameter)
Type: float
Total Size: 706560 bytes
            176640 values
            Number of Dimensions: 3
        Dimensions and sizes: [time | 60] x [MLON | 64] x [NLAT | 46]
            Coordinates:
                        time: [204101..204512]
                        Number Of Attributes: 2
                          units : mm/day
                  long_name : total precip (perturbed vegetation)
                            (0) Minimum: 0 Maximum: 75.4019

This is still not helpful. Maybe, there is a better way to handle this.
I should be grateful, if someone can suggest a way to do this.
Thanks
Ben
