It was a big upgrade from the Trash-80 and C64 but the Dot Matrix printer took 5 minutes to print a page and loud as hell.

ChescoWx Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Great weather to start the week as long as allergies are not a problem! We should see temps well into the 70's today and 80's tomorrow.

ChescoWx Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 A nice couple of warm days on the way with highs near 80 degrees today and into the low to mid 80's tomorrow. Next chance of showers by Thursday. For the Memorial Day weekend Friday looks great with sunny skies and temps near 80 degrees. Unfortunately, our weekend pattern for unsettled weather looks to continue. No washouts but some showers are possible almost anytime through the weekend. Daily records for Chester County for today: High 97 degrees at Phoenixville (1934) / Record low 30 degrees in West Chester (2002) / Rain 5.56" at West Chester (1894) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows 2000, XP and Windows 7 were their best and most stable OS IMO. Never used Windows 8 and Windows 10 and 11 are bloated and it takes an extra step in situations where Windows 7 could get in one step. Still run Windows 7 at home. Only use Windows 11 at work... 83F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate paying for windows software like word powerpoint etc. Went to linux mint back in 2015 and never looked back. My 12 year old computer with 16 gigs of memory hums like kitten. No viruses, runs quick as hell and use linux mint libre software for free. Updates on its own with nothing running in the background loading up to and and the updates are downloaded on my time, not windows. Major updates are free and best of all no virus checkers. Linux is king. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Most spots touched the 80 degree mark yesterday with the exception of West Grove and East Nantmeal "only" hitting 79 degrees. All locales today will reach the low to mid 80's with plenty of sun. Shower chances will be around for the Memorial Day weekend with the best chances at some rain being Tomorrow and the best days with some sun being both Friday and Sunday.

LVblizzard Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Storms seem to be fizzling before they cross the Susquehanna so far today. Hopefully some can make it into our area later this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVblizzard Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Sitting on my porch watching some of this lightning to the north. Nice to see some lightning even if the storm is missing me. Hopefully tomorrow brings more storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 Got fringed by this with a clap of thunder about 7 minutes ago. Got the steamy windows with it too. It didn't give me anything measurable yet but did wet the streets and walk. Currently 68 with dp 66. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodriveslow Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Went right over us in Fox Chase. Nothing special. The radar looked worse than what actually came down. Got .11" per Ambient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Just had a little quick hitter here, about 0.20" of rain, and some solid lightning and thunder. Even lost power for a sec. Saw a few lightning bugs last night, good stuff. Acting like late May all of a sudden. Currently 69F here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPizz Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 My brother near Kutztown just got blasted. He said strong winds, torrential rains and lots of lightning and thunder. He just texted me again that some massive trees are down too. The one pic he send the tree almost looks shredded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 Under a gully washer with almost 1"/hr rates. The last cell mostly missed but am under this little line. Have 0.15" in the bucket so far. Temp is 70 with dp 68. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVblizzard Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Slept through the storms somehow. Worst of it missed to my north by about 2-3 miles. Looks like much of the northwest side of Allentown is without power. Lots of photos on social media of trees down, some of them big ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
