Scranton is the Lackawanna County seat in northeastern Pennsylvania, a former anthracite coal and railroad city in the Lackawanna River valley, now anchored by the University of Scranton, Marywood University, healthcare employers, and nearby Tobyhanna Army Depot. Its older housing stock, damp basements, and snowy winters are hard on computers. We recover Scranton data by mail with a free prepaid label.
Northeastern Pennsylvania winters bring heavy snow, ice storms, and long outages, and older homes in Scranton's neighborhoods often have damp basements and aging wiring. Tropical storm remnants can also bring flooding along the Susquehanna River and its tributaries, as happened in 2011. Keep computers and drives off basement floors, use a dehumidifier, and keep a cloud copy of important files. Use surge protection on every desktop.
Scranton's hilly terrain means some neighborhoods are exposed to wind and lightning, while valley areas can collect runoff during heavy rain. Moving laptops between cold cars and warm homes can cause condensation, so let them warm up first. Use a UPS with surge protection, shut down equipment properly during outages, and avoid storing backups in garages or attics where temperatures swing widely.
