    EZPass scam - don't fall for this one

    Just got this text message Obviously fake if you look closely - the sender was some guy at outlook.com and the website address is also bogus and the wording is weird. Here's some info from the (real) EZPass site. Makes me wonder though, are they just guessing I have EZPass, or were their...

    Old pic of pine plains

    No car, but there's a photo of a guy in the Plains on page 220 of the book "Fifty hikes in New Jersey" (my copy is the 1994 version with B/W photos, looks like the new one is in color, maybe the page numbers are different). Would love to post a scan of it, but unfortunately our site policy on...

    While We Were Sleeping, Very Bad Things Happened

    Funny, I was a "night owl" since childhood and my career in the Theatre was a good fit, where the crew and tech staff are there long after the audience goes home (not to mention my long commute from Center City Philadelphia). Then I was back for an 8 AM call next morning to supervise the crews...

    That's an incredible plume of smoke.

    Fort Mott wildfire

    Thanks - Wow! That never even crossed my mind! Moving this to another thread.... Found this "Massive brush fire in the brush across from fort mott and into supawna meadows. Huge black plumes of smoke people are seeing from miles and miles away. This is bad"

    Fort Mott wildfire

    (mod note: posts split from a thread about rain) This is a weird one. Small storm is being spawned around Salem and moving fast to the Southeast, the most intense part is currently at the border of Quinton and Alloway and it just seems to keeps going. Nothing else on the radar anywhare in the...

    Glassboro-Camden light rail line

    So... the Medford-ization of Chatsworth is inevitible? (history would suggest that it is)

    Glassboro-Camden light rail line

    Like I said, I know nothing about this and don't have an opinion. But seems the key is who decides whether "the greater public good" is being served... isn't it? I mean, when it comes to another issue, the PPA thinks closing roads serves the greater public good. ;) In their minds, it serves the...

    Shreveville

    We posted at the same time! But that appears to be the same general area shown on my maps above.

    Shreveville

    I think you meant Smithville Road, not Smithtown. That is the current County Rt 684 and Powell Road is County Rt 621, so this is the intesection. Just guessing, one of the homes along the creek here? You can see property info, but owner names are redacted...

    Shreveville

    Welcome to the site! The only "Pikes Farm" I could find with a Google search was in Maine. I'm a little confused about your location "in a valley". The "mount" in "Mount Holly" is a hill about 180 feet high and it's very flat around there. Maybe along the river somewhere?

    Snow?

    It was a windy night for sure, didn't seem any worse than others I recall. Maybe it wasn't as bad here? It calmed down for awhile this morning, wind seems to be picking up again. They have dialed it back to a "Wind Advisory" from a "High Wind Warning"...

    Snow?

    I went out and wandered around for over an hour, it was breezy but nice and warm. Saw a dark band of clouds approaching, headed back and was just opening the door when a huge gust of wind hit! But that passed and there were a few others but no measurable rain. Still getting wind gusts here...
