    Snow?

    Just went out with my trusty yardstick and measured 3.5" of snow on my car and 4" on the ground. I wouldn't exactly call that a "blown" forecast, that warning I posted earlier in the thread was calling for 3 to 6 inches and we could get a little more overnight. But whatever... I'll never...

    Snow?

    Really just flurries here right now, snow is only starting to cover the ground but maybe two inches on my car. I think the ground is still warm enough to cause melting from the bottom. Yeah, the main part of the storm is down in Virginia right now but the day is young.... wouldn't want to hazard...

    Snow?

    Just started snowing at my place around 6:00 AM, ground isn't quite covered yet. There's a map here, it shows more snow than the text forecasts.

    Snow?

    You wouldn't think "moderate snowfall" would require a state of emergency... but better safe than sorry I guess. And probably a lot of people on the roads tomorrow after an extended holiday season this year. Stay safe and warm everyone! Not going anywhere myself... will be cozy here...

    Snow?

    Seems like they really aren't sure about this one yet, storm is only 9 or 10 hours away, normally they would have issued maps of projected snowfall by now. Or maybe everyone at the NWS is still away for the holidays? :D Interesting that two hours later, the "tail" of that storm is still...

    Snow?

    This storm is about 900 miles long! They keep updating the arrival time later and later, current forecast says it will arrive around 4:00AM for me, so I guess the heavy snow will be during the day tomorrow. https://boydsmaps.com/nexrad/#6/34.1248/-88.7097

    Body found on Pasadena Road in Whiting

    Very strange... four guys from Greenwood, Indiana kill a guy in New York and dump him in Greenwood Forest? (the OP says the body was about a mile North of the brick factory)

    Snow?

    Storm is moving into the Washington DC area right now, hard to tell if it will hit us.

    Snow?

    I guess some of you have already had snow this season? Nothing here yet, awhile ago we had a light dusting that melted quickly, so this might be our first snow of the season. Map shows me on the edge of the 2" zone. My snow thrower's gonna stay in storage, it's been 4 years (?) since I've had it...

    In the end, it all comes down to that old saying, "No good deed goes unpunished". :siren:

    Safety tips from the past

    Back in the 60's I used to hurry home from school to watch them every afternoon. They have a Three Stooges Channel now on Sling and other streaming services. Some the stuff there appears to be strange "fan shows" but there are a few other interesting things, like a 75th (?) Anniversary TV...

    What is happening in this place?

    Cool, thanks! :cool: Looks like the targets are 1000 feet away. But why did they carve all those long trenches through the wetlands(?) to the North? Just to clear the land, for drainage or ??? I don't understand how this is related to bombing practice though, they don't also drop bombs there...

    What is happening in this place?

    The LIDAR is interesting. Those mounds read out as 5 to 6 feet high above the terrain. What are they for? The berms (?) around the edges are more like 12 feet high. https://boydsmaps.com/#16.00/39.979873/-74.467107/midatlidar/0.00/0.00

    What is happening in this place?

    How would that work? Are you saying it was for soldiers on the ground with guns, or some kind of aerial activity?

    What is happening in this place?

    Working my way through the 1970 aerials, this place stood out as being unusual You'll have to wait a little while before the 1970's aerials are online, but it shows clearly in 1980 https://boydsmaps.com/#16.00/39.979926/-74.467711/nhap80/0.00/0.00 By the 1990's, it looks like trees or...
