Real Hillsboro Weather

Slugs are Faster than My Internet Connection!!!

Even dealing with Blogger is getting very, VERY annoying. I can quite literally click on the link for a new post, put the laptop down, get up, walk away, do just about anything, and return to the computer before the entry input form appears on the window. I'm also trying to figure out the local weather (not the crap that's reported on the news, but actual local readings) and I can't get a page from the Weather Underground which uses Google Maps to even load properly. I keep getting some stupid message that I should try a higher level of zoom because supposedly they don't have maps of Washington County. Now how's that for a bull shit error message?!?

Here are some local readings:
I'm not sure that any really capture my local conditions. I am somewhat surprised that someone hasn't setup (and linked) a personal weather station to Weather Underground who lives within Hillsboro. That's mostly what I was looking for. I'm also trying to find a way to get an email alert when my neighbor is likely to have frost/freeze, but so far, not having much luck. Everything is so general and I'm sorry, I hardly believe that my weather is like that at PDX on anything but the most general level.

Here's the forecast that I've been getting from NOAA, but it seems the temperatures are always a couple degrees off. However, that is the difference between frozen plants and okay plants. Well, I want to do some other things and I've already spent well over an hour because these blasted webpages load so slowly! Here's the Weather Underground forecast.
