What time is it in Pennsylvania if its 2PM in sydney?

If you're on the eastern coast of Australia, perhaps Brisbane, the time difference is 15 hours. I start with the Australian time, subtract 3 hours, and then change AM/PM. So if it's 5PM Tuesday in Brisbane, it's 5-3=2AM Tuesday morning in PA.

If it's 7AM Wednesday in Brisbane, it's 4PM Tuesday in PA.

What cities and towns are in Berks County Pennsylvania?

City (One and only One) Reading. Pennsylvania uses the term Borough for what most people would call a town. They also have a series of Townships and unincorporated or Census designated places. In theory Pennsylvania only contains one or two towns.

They list 29 Boroughs, 44 townships and nine Census-designated places. Some places like to hang onto terms like parishes simply to confuse the out of state (or out of Commonwealth) riff-raff.

It is kind of like Celsius versus Fahrenheit, Kilometers versus miles, Acres versus Hectares, bushels and pecks, (or for example with wine where you have a picolo, demi, Standard, Magnum, Jeroboam, Rehoboam, Methuselah, Mordechai, Balthazar, Nebuchadnezzar, Melchior, Solomon, Soverign, Primat, and Melchizedek), liters and gallons, meters versus yards, or inches versus those centisomethings.

They have a 2000 Census population of 373,638 and they can't all be living in Reading which had a 2000 Census population of only 81,207 residents. We need to better define what is a City, a Town and a Village. Can't we all just get along.

Pennsylvania is bordered by four states: New York in the North, Maryland in the South, New Jersey in the East, and Ohio in the West. ..Delaware and West Virginia are not anywhere near the Pennsylvania Border Lines...( Delaware is bordered on the east side of Maryland, and West Virginia is bordered on the North - West side of Virginia).

Clarification:

The Panhandle of West Virginia does border PA. At one time, Washington County PA extended into what is now Virginia (historical info only).

If you start at the Northeast corner of PA and go west, the border is New York and part of Lake Erie on the western corner.

Going along the PA's western border is Ohio. At the most southern point, the top of West Virginia forms a short border with PA.

Going along PA's southern border, part of the Panhandle of West Virginia continues. Then, PA borders Maryland.

Going up the eastern side of PA, it borders New Jersey.

What is the Price per Gallon of Propane in South Central Pennsylvania?

Irmo, South Carolina.Suburban Propane filled my tank with 216 gallons of propane on Oct. 10, 2012 and charged $3.99 per gallon plus delivery charges, etc. Highway robbery!

Competitive propane suppliers in same general area are quoting $1.99 per gallon with the price firm for one year. After making Suburban propane aware of the price difference they lowered the invoice to $1.99 per gallon. No good reason was offerred for the high initial price except that Suburban's regional manager comes through once per year and sets the prices. I would characterize this as price gouging at its worse. I would caution everyone that uses large volumes of propane, especially if they are on an automatic refill program, to get competitive quotes before purchasing.

What is the general climate of pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania is generally in a humid continental climate zone, but with large variations around the state.

Northwest Pennsylvania has harsh winters with cold temperatures and lots of cloudiness and snow due to the proximity to Lake Erie. The snow belt extends through Erie PA up into central and western NY. Pittsburgh has winters that are cold, extremely cloudy and moderately snowy. Central PA in the mountains, through State College, also has very cold winters with lots of cloudiness and relatively heavy snowfall. Winters in southeast PA near Philly are cold but considerably less snowy than the rest of the state. There are more sunny days in the southeast, as this region is not affected by cloudiness from Lake Erie.

Spring in PA tends to be cold and rainy in March and April. May brings better weather with mild temperatures and a bit more sunshine.

Summer in PA tends to be quite pleasant in the northern, central and western parts of the state. Pittsburgh and State College have very nice summers, with many days that are pleasantly warm without being uncomfortably hot. The southeast near Philly occasionally gets quite hot and humid, but there are also many pleasant days interspersed in between hot spells.

Falls are generally delightful in Pennsylvania, especially in the early months. September and October bring lots of perfect sunny days and mild temperatures, with beautiful fall foliage. Leaves turn brilliant colors in October. Unfortunately this pleasant weather is short lived, as November brings more cloudiness and the return of cold winter winds.
