Two questions I have: how long does the tick need to be attached to transmit alpha-gal? Also, can larval stage lone star ticks transmit it? With deer ticks, they say that the tick has to pick Lyme up from a host (they're not born with it), and the tick has to be attached long enough to...

Jon, it's good that you found out who it was. What was the outcome?

I'm really watching this weekend with interest. Looks like the possibility of 3 or more inches of rain overall, which would be good news.

Yes I agree, it's bad and the past two weeks were warm and dry. Hopefully this trend breaks. We're supposed to have some decent rain tonight and again tomorrow evening so I hope that helps. Anecdotally, I have seen and heard frogs though (carpenter, leopard, peeper), and a friend of mine who...

@bobpbx @Gibby I'm really stuck on this identification, and don't really have any arguments against Gibby's (and your) position that it's a pine.

Bob I'll call that snake at 1:54 as a timber rattler, although it looks more yellow phase than what we normally see in the pines.

Hi Clamdigger, seconding Boyd's map here, and just wanted to share that this summer I took a ride through there to check it out and learn the place a little better. I'd advise planning a drive through there to get the lay of the land (if you're not too familiar with it already), and stopping at...

Oh man that brings back some memories. I used to work at KFC in my senior year of high school and 1st year of community college. I occasionally worked delivery and we would deliver to various locations in Hamilton, but there were times when I'd get pulled to the Trenton location. This was in...

You could have feigned concern, went to get a closer look at his leg and then headbutted him in the nose "by accident" when standing up.

Who was hoping for a storm of biblical proportions?

Good news from @Boyd's post above, looks like good amounts of relief, especially for areas that need it most.

A slight shift west. Ian is like a drunken sailor. Time will tell.

#$%@# shifted east since last night! :mad:

It may, but if it does make it this far north, it may also join forces with the already existing low-pressure system expected for the weekend and dump a good amount of rain on us. Again I'm not cheering this on, this is one of the most powerful hurricanes in a long time. The water has been...

Apologies if this was elaborated on and I missed it, but the areas that were blocked off, were they existing roads?

Neither did I. I stated in post #1092 that "...unless we get a few 2" rain events spread out over 4-5 days at a shot, or get the remnants of a tropical depression on top of a few rainy days, we're going to stay pretty deep into it. Still hoping for some rain bands from a TS sometime in the next...

My wish from post #1092 may be coming true. I hope that any impact to those in the Southeast is minimal. Out of respect for others in the path I'm not cheering on a hurricane, but if Ian drops some good rain on us I won't be unhappy about that.

Apologies for the above, had I bothered to read more of the home page, I would have seen this: "We are a group of honest citizens: hikers, hunters, enduro riders, geocachers, 4×4 enthusiests, kayakers, horseback riders, photographers and even environmentalists who want help solve the problems...

I like their position and support it, but am curious about two things: 1) Their forum posts are all 5 years and 6 months old and almost all in Polish. Was the site completely inactive since the last MAP proposal, and since it hasn't been updated, is there a place (i.e. Facebook) where activity...

Good!
