    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Never got a drop of rain here. I was out in the woods and the thunder was all around, but not here. The wind was very refreshing, temperature dropped 10 degrees while I was out there.

    Interest in the History of Swedes Lake and Surrounding Area

    The detail is pretty good on the 1970's map, but my 1950's and 1960's aerials only cover Atlantic County, unfortunately.

    No rain yet here but the humidity is down to 49% outside at 97 degrees, high was "only" 102 today. Definitely a little better than yesterday.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Suddenly, there is a lot of activity on the radar, there was nothing earlier today. The storms are moving to the Southeast, so the stuff up around State College and Williamsport is headed our way. There's also a cell North of Mays Landing that barely missed me. We can use some rain, creek level...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    I stand corrected, my porch thermometer also recorded a high of 104 yesterday. Says 93 right now, thermometer itself never gets direct sun but the afternoon sun on the porch can make it warmer than the surrounding woods in the evening. It didn't seem so bad on my walk just now, humidity is 54%...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    The thermometer on my front porch has been reaching 100 degrees for the past two days. I don't know what the temperature really is, but it's too hot! Going out for a short walk now, had some errands to do and couldn't get out early like usual. If we only had a little breeze, it wouldn't be so...

    Will just post this here instead of starting a new thread. The NWS has a briefing on the heat wave here https://www.weather.gov/media/phi/current_briefing.pdf

    Ticks & Chiggers--a study

    I was thinking it was probably anacanapansan, from the clinic of doctors Howard, Howard and Fine . :D

    Interesting radar imagery

    It's my little nexrad app. Click the link in my post above... But, yes, it is also visible in RadarScope with the Super-Res Reflectivity setting.

    Interesting radar imagery

    Don't think I've seen this effect before, guess it has something to do with the heat. It's certainly not rain! :D

    Ticks & Chiggers--a study

    Just got back from a short walk with my freshly-treated clothes. Didn't see any ticks. The flies are certainly still there and a few mosquitoes, but they didn't seem as bad as yesterday. It was just a short walk though, will go out for a longer one later today.

    Ticks & Chiggers--a study

    The bugs were terrible yesterday at my place! I am out for 4 or 5 hours every day and it was noticeably worse than I've seen for quite awhile. The ticks were bad this spring, but recently they seemed to mostly go away. Yesterday they were back though. Didn't get any bites, but was constanty...

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Somehow, I managed to dance between the raindrops here, all we had was a very brief, light sprinkle - nothing measurable.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Getting close to me, but not quite here yet. I went out in the woods after that last post and just came in, the approaching wall of dark clouds was a little scary through the trees out there. Getting very windy now.

    EZPass scam - don't fall for this one

    The latest scam Why would I need a "Promo Code" to renew my membership? What is aca.customerfeed.com??? But the best tip off is the lack of a secure address - http and not https. However, the disturbing thing is that my membership really *is* going to expire soon and that makes me think that...

    Deforestation: Voorhees developer wants to build on wooded land next to Evesham's Black Run Preserve.

    Thanks Scott, that's pretty much what I assumed. But just using layman's "logic", wouldn't clearing a huge amount of land and building 270 homes threaten a wetlands area more than one isolated house in the middle of a big forest? Seems like you would want a larger buffer zone to minimize the...

    Yeah, some hot and humid days ahead. Looks like the heat advisory is North of me though. I'd be happy just to see a reminder that the sun still exists! Very few breaks in the cloud cover here for days, yet no measurable rain until this morning.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    Started raining hard here around 5:00 AM, that passed and now another system is moving through Atlantic County. Good news! All of the other recent storms have sailed by to the North and this is the first rain we've had in about a week - we need it!
