About This Station

Located in eastern Pennsylvania, this weather station provides a wide variety of local weather related information. The data is collected primarily from a LaCrosse weather station comprised of an anemometer, rain gauge and a thermo-hydro sensor, and supplemented by feeds from the Mount Holly, NJ NOAA site.

The data is collected every 2-3 seconds and the site is updated every 10 minutes, using software from Weather-Display.com. To view the weather data in a more "real time" graphical mode, click the "Live Weather" link on the left navigation menu.

This weather station is privately owned and operated, and should not be considered an officially recognized station for weather reporting. The site and station are both a hobby and experiment in weather-related computing.
