Let's clear this up for people who aren't very familiar with Garmin devices. :) It's true that they can track everywhere you go and that's how they are configured "out of the box". But you can (and should, IMO) turn all that off. I don't use Garmin devices anymore but have owned a LOT. Was also...

This time it was Subaru, but it could have been any other new car with all these "connected" features.... "...they found they could also track the Subaru's location—not merely where it was at the moment but also where it had been for the entire year that his mother had owned it. The map of the...

Moving right along with the 1970's aerials... I've finished everything but the blue and white squares (about 90 plates). It's coming soon... another week or two. Found a nice set of 1968 Delaware aerials and have included those. Unfortunately, no coverage of Pennsylvania, that is just the...

In another thread, Scott mentioned an issue that I never would have thought of. Sometimes, they tow away a vehicle after an accident that involved serious injury or death. Those might contain "biological materials"... :eek:

Time is coming when that won't even matter. Just for fun, I tried this site with one of @M1 Abrams photos from today. Guess you have to subscribe to see the full info, but from what it shows, the guesses aren't too bad. And we're just at the dawn of this kind of thing. With the whole internet to...

Nothing at all here, not even rain, just dark and cloudy skies. Went out for a walk a little while ago. Looks like the storm hasn't moved much farther East than Philadelphia so far. But the day is still young!

Looking at the photos you posted recently - also the ones that @M1 Abrams posted today - we really have a lot more snow on the ground down here than you have in the central Pines. We still have snow from the last big storm, although a lot melted yesterday in the mid 40's. If those estimates are...

Happens every year, doesn't it? Looks like it warms up again by next weekend. I'll be hibernating in my cave here, making a push to complete the 1970 aerials so I can move on to the next project! :D

A picture is worth a thousand words. :) Full briefing here: https://www.weather.gov/media/phi/current_briefing.pdf

About a half inch here, easy to clear but the roads they didn't plow were pretty slippery early this morning.

Got a coating of new snow here, it's still coming down although forecast only calls for .5 inch. Maybe more snow coming on Sunday though.

Was wondering if I could do any better than that low-resolution USGS data and it turns out that NJGIN has a 1986 Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) dataset which is very similar to the newer 2012 and 2015 datasets that I've used in many of my maps - I had no idea they went back this far. Then I...

Slowly churning through the DVRPA aerials... 270 plates completed with 117 (pink/blue boxes) left to go. End is in sight, but will still take awhile to get there.... Looking at the maps that are currently available, this one is based on the 1971-72 wetlands aerials...

Some real geniuses over there. Think I'll just stick to the NJPB forums. :D

Got about an inch of snow at my place, maybe slightly more, lightweight stuff that can be cleared with a broom.

4 inches during the day and 2 last night, so a total of 6 for me. Pretty accurate forecast here but the timing was probably a little different than predicted. That was always kind of loose though. At some point they said there could be heavy periods of snow in the evening with 1 inch falling per...

After introducing my 2020 dark-themed topo, some people wanted a light topo since I deleted the old "Map of the Pines HD" which just had too many errors. I agreed and introduced one at the end of 2023. Now, a year later, it's interesting that the dark 2020 topo is still much more popular, based...

Really coming down here now! Had been staring at the computer all evening and was surprised to look in the front yard! These bands seem to carry a lot of snow and I'm in the crosshairs :D
