Does your plasma tv make a buzzing sound?

Posted by Jason Nappi on November 25, 2009

From the experts:

Yes, some plasma TVs make a lot of noise at high altitudes. That noise is the mechanical ‘buzz’ created during the plasma’s on-off imaging cycles. At low altitudes, the air pressure is sufficient to keep the glass from vibrating very much. But at high altitudes, air pressure is lower, so the glass vibrates more – and you hear it.

High Temperatures

Posted by Jason Nappi on April 26, 2009

A south wind kept temperatures down along the mid-coast and southern mid-coast yesterday. However, very warm temperatures popped up inland.

Rockland: 55
Augusta: 78
Portland: 69
Fryeburg: 90
Sanford: 88
L/A: 81
Kittery: 87
Brunswick: 62
Waterville: 81

On Tuesday even the coast will make a run at 80 due to a southwest wind. It will easily be the warmest day of the year so far for coastal communities.
