    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Storm is slowly moving into NJ, but it's moving North faster than it's advancing East, so it looks like the part that might hit me is somewhere down around Baltimore right now... SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH OUTLINE UPDATE FOR WS 496 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 140 PM EDT TUE JUL 8...

    Introducing the Landscape of the United States series

    Just added the 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023 maps to this series, so we now have maps for every year from 2015 - 2024. Will continue working my way down the list until there's a map for every year, going all the way back to 1985. I also have legacy (pre-LandSat) USGS landcover...

    Wooden Underground Ruins near Sweetwater

    Amatol was what first came to mind for me as well, but I really couldn't understand the description in the OP. You can see former locations of the buildings on my 2023 topo. This section was the location of the village however and not the munitions plant itself...

    Unusally heavy boydsmaps usage

    Have not seen this for awhile, but last night somebody accessed an unreasonable number of maps over a period of about 4 hours, also generating a huge number of errors. This is very unusual and suggests downloading to me. As I have said, use the site as much as you like - stay up all night! But...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Just came in from an evening walk, it's nice here too but not much if any breeze or any hint of rain. But I see it now on the radar, looks like most will be North of me although there's a cell around Wilmington that might get here.

    Introducing the Landscape of the United States series

    Just in time for Independence Day! Explore the changing face of America during the past 40 years with nine new maps covering the whole country. They use historical land cover data and 3d terrain to create an effect similar to aerial photography. The resolution is pretty low (about 125 feet per...

    Incoming: new multi-colored map menu

    Was thinking about this some more... do you just type "boydsmaps" into the address bar in your browser? If so, then I'll bet Edge is filling in an old link from your history, I have seen that happen before. If that is how you go to the site, try typing it into the address bar but before you hit...

    Incoming: new multi-colored map menu

    Weird, that means you are trying to open a link to an old HERE map. How do you go to the site, do you use a bookmark? If so, find some spot on the map and create a new bookmark, then use that when you go to the site. Also, press the wrench button and set a new "home" location and/or map. That's...

    Incoming: new multi-colored map menu

    There are several "sorry" messages, they are all the result of trying to open a link to a map that no longer exists. In the past, a box was displayed with this message and you had to click an OK button to proceed. Thought that was a little too annoying, so I changed it to a timed message that...

    Incoming: new multi-colored map menu

    Not available yet but I hope to put it online tomorrow, along with a series of nine new maps of the entire United States - just in time for the 4th of July :dance: (more on this soon). The maps menu keeps getting longer and I don't like having to read through the whole list just to find the...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    NJDEP rainfall site is down again. :bang: It was working earlier this morning though and showing some substantial totals in a few places. I don't like the "improved" NWS Advanced Hydrological Prediction Service (AHPS) site. Seems that you have to uncheck a ton of little boxes in the "River...

    It was pretty localized. The NJDEP map is working today... the closest marker to me is orange, with 1.2 inches of rain. :cool:

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    We had something like 3/4 inch of rain early this morning, the thunder and lightning woke me up at (maybe) 3:00 AM - first measurable rain we've seen here in quite some time. Just returned from a walk, 79 degrees with 89% humidity and although that sounds bad, it was actually really nice in the...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    I was out for a couple hours and was surprised how pleasant it was, sitting in the shade out in the woods with a nice breeze blowing. It's hotter now, will wait until the sun starts getting low before I go out again.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Big Mama Thronton is one of my all time favorites! That song is on an album that I got back in the 70's, finally ripped it onto my media server about 10 years ago. The commentary that goes along with the music is also great, at one point she says something like "Can somebody bring me a towel to...
