Google comes through again. :D You're right though, that membership list shows his first name spelled as "Nicola" and I've always seen "Nikola". But since he was Serbian, I think the original name would have consisted of Cyrillic characters, like this So, it becomes a question of...

I've wondered about that place for a long time, I included the basic features on my 2023 topo. But, on the 1970 aerials, it looks a lot like some kind of nursery to me, with closely-spaced rows of shrubs or trees that appear well maintained. If not that, then maybe some other kind of agriculture?

Just added this new map, which is based on the same NLCD and ASTER GDEM data as the Landscape Series, but combined with data from a variety of other sources. Level 12 detail, same as the other Landscape maps, so it will only be useful on a regional level. But I think it's good for general...

"Water levels could climb to major flood stage Sunday afternoon at Atlantic City, New Jersey, and then rise above 8 feet Monday, which would be the highest level observed since Superstorm Sandy in 2012. Levels at Cape May, New Jersey, are projected to reach over 8 feet and would be the...

This morning's update, pretty similar to what they posted yesterday.

Here are the updated NWS maps

Ah, I see, that's too bad. The only forecast I look at is the NWS. And the only place I usually go is right out my door, which is just a few minutes walk back home if it starts raining. :)

Doesn't look that bad to me (yet), this is the current NWS forecast for a random spot in the middle of Wharton. Rain is supposed to start earlier for me down here, but the morning looks OK. Saturday Rain likely, mainly after 5pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 69. East wind 5 to 10 mph, with...

All I can suggest is the link to the current briefing that I posted above. They update that a couple times a day, next update is coming at 7:00 AM this morning.

I see the NWS has an initial briefing available now https://www.weather.gov/media/phi/current_briefing.pdf So far, this doesn't look too bad (famous last words? :D ). Map shows around 33% probability of getting over two inches rain for most of the Pines (less as you go West) Most of the...

Sorry, I don't know anything about it, but have you seen this long thread? https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/closing-west-mill-road.11953/

As Guy noticed awhile ago, the probability legend on these maps is kind of "backwards" from what we might expect. The lighter, yellow areas have the highest probability and the darker red areas are lower probability.
