  1. No worries, I didn't take it that way at all. Great job using the site!
  2. I'm not sure but there is a data download feature in the upper righthand corner. I haven't tried it yet, feel free to play with it and let me know. It's still a relatively new endeavor and I know they're still working on some things. But for real time it's fantastic.
  3. I know I mentioned it some time ago but if you're not already you really should be using the Keystone Mesonet website, an absolutely fantastic site for official real time weather data across the state. Check it out..... https://keystone-mesonet.org/
  4. Here is another one I found hitting triple digits.......

  5. Well I'm down a degree now to 98, seems like 100 is off the table. I did notice that the PA Turnpike station I referenced earlier is now at 101, Yahtzee!
  6. haha you know you're a hardcore weather enthusiast when you have a backup station at the ready.
  7. I'm now at 99 lads, with a dew of 70 brings me to 106 heat index! Can I do the triple digit dance!? I see the PA Turnpike sensor on the Susquehanna River Bridge at milepost 245.7 hit 100 at 2:03 PM, first semi "official" reading I've seen in the keystone state in the triples.
  8. Yeah a number of the Mesos have liked the late evening time period for down my way, but like you say a bit hit or miss.
  9. MDT's got nothin on my hotbox of a micoclimate! Well, except for those ridiculously high overnight mins that I can't compete with ha.
  10. Good to know. You're certainly not the first person to have issues with siting the anemometer. I took mine down as well due to being too shielded from the winds. It was only measuring about half of actual wind speed, so not really worth having this weird looking instrument mounted to my deck that my wife hated haha. If you want a good wind reading near us check out the following WU my buddy just started, mounted up high atop his roof, should be able to get some impressive gust readings up there..... https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KPAMOUNT181
  11. Yes I've noticed that, a bit surprising in that my low location off the ridge line usually has me as one of the hotter spots around, but perhaps you get a bit of UHI to offset that? Not sure how "downtown" you really are ha. I'll do my best to support you during these difficult times but I must admit I don't love my current station. It's one of those La Crosse models that looks cute but isn't great for tracking data. Heck, I still haven't figured out how it keeps its high/low temps, seems to only go back a few hours when doing so. Basically, I have to keep pretty good tabs on it to get accurate readings. Also, in the interest of full disclosure, during these long-path sun days in the dead of summer my sensor gets some direct sun during the early morning and late evening hours that causes it to read high during those times, particularly the morning where I basically have to ignore the temps for an hour or two. This despite being stationed on the north side of my house and of course having the housing piece around it that is supposed to prevent that, but naturally doesn't fully do so. I really liked my old station that tracked data better and measured to the tenth of the degree, even though the display wasn't "pretty" ha, but it took a crap after years of service and in a pinch I got one of the trendy Amazon recommended ones. I have a real nice one that was gifted to me in the basement (brand name eludes me at the moment) that I'm waiting to set up until we move to a new location. I've said too much.....
  12. I hit 98 yesterday. Might have a chance to reach or top that today. HRRR says there's a chance, MOS guidance is not as enthused.
  13. You know it! Correct, I always say when it comes to pools, boats and campers, I don't wanna own 'em, I just wanna know people who own 'em
  14. That's exactly what we're doing, albeit not our own pool, just a friend. Perhaps tomorrow as well.
  15. 93 here as well. Bracing for the heat ahead, trying to make pool plans for the next couple days.
  16. I'm sittin at 82 with a dew of 56. Humidity about to start shooting up though as we head into tomorrow.
  17. Roger that! I figured there had to be some sort of sexual connotation with it haha.
  18. Can someone explain the Short Pump thing to me? I'm still a bit to new to get where it came from.
  19. Here is what I have in my notes for that period........Record highs at MDT, 77 on 2/20 & 79 on 2/21. Many stations like Lanc. and York went over 80 for 1st time ever in Feb.
