All those numbers are for State College, about 30 miles WSW of Coburn.
In this kind of mountainous terrain, both rainfall and temps can vary
a lot over relatively short distances.


vince - i think of those long ridges around penns and state college as
"hills", compared to western nc mountains. what is the highest elevation
in the area of penns and state college? isn't penns at coburn at about
900-1000 feet elevation?

jeff

A glance at topozone.com shows Coburn at 1020 feet and those ridges
around topping out about 1550 feet. It's not the height but the
steepness, at least that's what I tell myself as I lay sucking in pine
needles trying to catch my breath.
