Sounded familiar but I had to look it up again. FYI, here's a map https://boydsmaps.com/#14.00/40.040998/-74.456553/historic62k/0.00/0.00 Funny, this is right on the border between two different Cook maps, so "of Snag" doesn't appear on my version because of the seam...

Around 7:30 AM on this beautiful, brisk morning. :)

Nothing here at all, it got dark and windy for a little while but no rain. After it passed, the temperature had dropped about 10 degrees though.

We got a good soaking down here last night, woke me up around 1:00 AM with lots of thunder, lightning and pounding rain. Appeared to be a narrow line of storms passing right over me for a couple hours. They scraped the roads in Peaslee earlier this week - which surprised me because they weren't...

Different kind of pattern this afternoon, storms are coming out of the Northwest and moving through NJ towards the Southeast. So far, they are all North of me, but not by much! :siren:

FWIW... says that it's free, but you have to create an account to read it.

Only 46 degrees here this morning. Will be warming up over the next few days, but they're only forecasting mid 80's. Really can't complain about this kind of weather in late August. :)

7:45 AM in the Peaslee WMA. I've gone from t-shirts to sweatshirts! Never got out of the low 70's all day yesterday, today looks to be the same.

We got a little rain overnight but I never heard it, less than 1/10" of water in the wheelbarrow this morning. Just had some rain here now, was out in the woods, sky was mostly blue, sun was shining but a little cloud right overhead drizzled on me for awhile. A big oak kept me pretty dry. That...

Looked like one was headed for me, so I rushed my chores and got out by 3:00. Sky was getting dark, distant thunder... but it completely missed me. Was out until 5:30, same thing happened a few times but not a drop of rain, storms are all to the West... so far. Looks like some cells heading into...

As that map shows, it's been dry down here in Atlantic County. We had some light rain late morning yesterday, less than 1/4 inch, that's all we've had here for awhile. The NWS really got the forecast wrong here yesterday, they said a high of 82 but I noticed it was only 69 degrees driving down...

Got some bites on my ankles a little over a week ago, itching is gradually subsiding but man, I hate those things! :argh:

Just looking some more, I see that the Vermeule map shows some roads in that area that don't appear on other maps. https://boydsmaps.com/#15.00/39.418938/-74.721568/vermeule/0.00/0.00

Not familiar with that site although I've been all over the Belco ruins just West of there and have included them on recent maps. I see that line (wall?) to the left of the link you posted but not sure what it is, maybe the the remains of an old road with a ditch that was excavated? You can...

They sure are, have gotten several bites on my ankles over the past few days. Never actually saw them though. Just treated a fresh pair of shoes, sock and pants with permethrin, don't think I've gotten any new ones since then (yet).

Are these engorged tick nymphs? A bunch came off the long-haired feral cat I've been domesticating when I brushed her (she has flea treatment but not ticks). Sorry for the bad iPhone pix. They're really tiny - I had to get out a magnifying glass to be sure they were even bugs. They look like...

Not a drop of rain here all day yesterday, Debby was way West of us, looked it like pretty much completely missed the Pines on radar. Went out for a morning walk but came back in around 11:30 because the wind was whipping the trees around a little too much for comfort. A lot of leaves came off...

My home is way off the road, back in the woods with uplands, wetlands and a creek. I'm out there for hours every day and have (unfortunately) gotten quite familiar with what are commonly called "chiggers" around here. Beyond that, you guys can figure out what those little monsters actually are...

FWIW, the post you responded to was made in 2005 and the author has not visited the site since 2011. :) But you're right, chigger bites are hell. Only thing is, there aren't any chiggers in the Pines. Or so I'm told. :D But seriously, what we've all been calling chiggers are apparently baby...
