You live in coal country. 99% percent of rain events here are acid rain.

Not from coal burned directly here. Some of the factories in eastern ohio/west virginia utilize coal and the jet stream pushes that east and north. The coal burned in pa the same way moves with the jet stream to jersey and new york. The average ph of rain could vary but it always almost slightly acidic around a 6.5-6.75 on the ph scale without the addition of sulfides to the atmosphere.
