According to the National Weather Service, some areas could see scattered frost. Interesting, because the forecast low temperature seems pretty consistent in Southern NJ (~37 degrees). No frost warning when I look at Port Republic, Bass River or Millville, but Chatsworth, Mays Landing and Egg...

Was just in the Lowes in Egg Harbor and noticed they had moved a lot of their "outdoor" stuff into a temporary location to sell it off at the end of the season. Don't know if these are available everywhere, but might be worth a look if you are in one of their stores. I got a wireless digital...

In another thread (can't find it now), Guy mentioned that he was in an area a couple days ago where the mosquitoes were terrible. Yesterday I started to notice that they are getting terrible here in my own woods as well, which seemed a little odd for this time of year. I guess we can thank the...

Looks like we have some nice days coming.... for a change. :) Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 68. Friday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 48. Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 70. Saturday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 51. Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a high...

I think we just had an earthquake here. It shook my house very noticeably, could feel floor shake, walls shook, the table actually rocked back and forth! Was listening to the financial news on the radio from NYC and they also mentioned it . Wow, that's about the strongest one I've ever felt in...

Wandering around the Atlantic County Park at Estell Manor yesterday, I stumbled across this And this one was not far away. What is its purpose? After I got back home, I found the monument on NOAA's website DATABASE = NGSIDB , PROGRAM = datasheet95, VERSION = 7.87.4 1 National...

I was wondering why I couldn't access the Dover AFB Radar during the storm this evening... http://www.wunderground.com/radar/radblast.asp?ID=DOX&type=N0R

This is a shame, but not a big surprise. The Borders at Hamilton Mall was the only large book store near me. Now I would have to drive 40 miles to get to the closest Barnes and Noble, and I wonder whether they will eventually meet the same fate anyway...

According to the NWS, we have the potential for over 2" of rain during the next 24 hours. It's been dry down here, so I'm kind of looking forward to this (don't have a basement and live on higher ground). But getting two inches in less than an hour could be a problem for just about everyone...

Garmin has been rolling out a lot of new stuff recently - details are still coming in. But here's a quick rundown, in case anyone is in the market for a new GPS: New eTrex line -it's been a long time since they updated these. They are attractive looking - pushbutton interface instead of...

This is nice, since it lets you load USGS 24k maps for the whole state, unlike the "custom maps" that I've posted that are limited to about 20x20 miles. Separate subscription from the aerial imagery though, so you need to spend $30. https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=255&pID=98816

Unbelievable - that's what my porch thermometer says and it is short sleeve weather here. The whole way home from Philadelphia on the Expressway the air temperature was showing 69 degrees. Enjoy it while you can - hope that others have a chance to get outside for a bit also!

With a little time to kick back during the holidays, I'm finally checking out something pretty cool from the USGS - 1/9 arc-second LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) radar elevation data. This is very high resolution imagery (about 10 feet per pixel) that shows the surface of the earth with...

NJDEP recently posted new land use/land cover (LU/LC) data and I've been spending the past few weeks with it. They created this dataset by tracing outlines of features on the 2007 aerials and assigning special codes to them. When combined with my own secret sauce, the result is closer to an art...

Hope my house doesn't blow away while I'm at work (although I guess that would be better than if it blew away while I was in it). :) _________________________________________________ Tornado Watch TORNADO WATCH OUTLINE UPDATE FOR WT 733 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 1215 PM EDT WED OCT...
