NortheastPAWx Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I figured you would know, but put that disclaimer in there fro general reading purposes. Many may think of Lee last year, where he spent forever over the TN valley and still gave the area copious rains. The setup is different this time, and your amounts seem reasonable to me. Yeah, that's the key. Once Isaac's remnant LP gets here, it will be a quick mover...Lee had that stall action with a cold front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much below? A weatherbug station near you has 15.56 for the year, and 2.65 for the month. Let's compare to Philly and east into Jersey. George Washington HS, in Philly has 17.64 for the year, and 0.60 for the month. Near me in Williamstown has 15.74 for the year, and 3.25 for the month. I don't know what you're seeing, but you're not "very much below". If anything you're on average with the rest the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's right, but a Weatherbug station at a Middle School in Macungie/Grotharland shows 48.36 inches for the year, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 53.5f at 6:00am Beat ya...53.2 for the low. The garage where we keep our trucks in in rural Andreas PA, about 10 miles south of Tamaqua along Rte 895, and last night at 11:00PM it was already down to 56 degrees there when I parked the truck for the night. I wonder if they dipped into the 40's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 56 degrees here this morning in a location that does not need excess rain anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That particular Macungie station is usually pretty far off on temps and precip. I use the one Ray recommended to Grothar. That one has 3.08" for the month and 22.42" for the year.

Parsley Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Need recommendations. I will be spending some time in northeast PA In early October. I'm looking for some scenic places to check that are not any of the following since I've already seen them: -Bushkill Falls -Hickory Run SP -Jim Thorpe area I'm looking for other places within an hour or so of the Pocono Raceway. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Hickory Run State Park is about all I know up that way, so I can't help much. Now, if you're willing to drive around 60 miles west of Wilkes-Barre, World's End State Park is one of my favorite places. I've also heard good things about Rickett's Glen State Park, which about halfway between Wilkes-Barre & World's End State Park. http://www.dcnr.stat...dsend/index.htm http://www.dcnr.stat...sglen/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Thanks Greg, phlwx and bucksCo for the info. I'll check these places out online for sure. Hoping for nice color this autumn thanks to all the rain lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 My new weather station I just picked up yesterday (8/30/12). Certainly not the best that money can buy, but then again, my budget just doesn't allow for a $300+ drop right now. It's still way better than what I was using. Time will tell just how accurate everything is, but so far, temps and humidity seem pretty close. 5 in 1 outdoor sensor unit. Indoor display unit.

greg ralls Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hawk Mountain. Well worth the few $$ to walk it. Probably a bit more than an hour but well worth the drive too. Hawk Mountain rules!! It's actually probably closer to us here in SE PA (a little over an hour's drive from Collegeville) that it would be from up in the Poconos (about 1.5 hours from Scranton). http://www.hawkmount...age.aspx?id=482 EDIT: Actually, I stand corrected. I've never been to Hawk Mountain. I was confusing it with The Pinnacle (which is awesome). http://www.harpweb.com/thepinnacle/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wederwarrior Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I live close to the base of the pinnacle in Kempton and would defiantly recommend a hike/trip. Personally, when the leaves start to change, it is the best time to experience the great views Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boch23 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Nice weather station. I've been thinking of getting one myself. Any suggestions on good ones, I would be splitting the cost with my dad so probably have $400-$500 bucks to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis Vantage Pro 2 is the best personal weather station on the market, though it may be a bit above your price range. Here are my two (the entire set-ups ended up costing a bit over 1,000 each, but I am anal ) Elko... Jersey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
