    Odd Rumbling Sounds

    FWIW, NJGIN has a dataset of earthquake epicenters https://njogis-newjersey.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/b48a228187b2448cb54d9398d8cf8a01_2/explore I included these on both my 2020 and 2023 topo's but you have to zoom all the way in to see them. For example...

    Three or four inches at my place for sure. Some very intense wind gusts from time to time now also.

    Wet Forest - Formerly Known as Dry Forest

    This is interesting, if I pick a spot around Quaker Bridge on the map, this is the forecast I get on the National Weather Service website. It shows potential for as much as four inches of rain. Around the same spot in my app, I click the button with the sun icon and get this forecast. It also...

    Bad allergy season ahead

    "This year will start off much earlier than most years in the East," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alan Reppert said. "We could look at things to be a full month ahead of normal with tree pollen and still ahead with when grass pollen starts." AccuWeather experts warn that it could be a bad...

    @BigWoollyMammoth - Your pictures are great and I'm sure everyone appreciates them. But they are way too large, some are as big as 8 MB and almost all are over 3 MB - you have posted around 200 MB of photos in this thread. I don't want to discourage you from sharing your pictures, but this is...

    Moon today?

    Yes, it was Jupiter! https://www.space.com/jupiter-moon-earthshine-march-2024 Another shot, not very good but it shows Jupiter. The earth-shine was clearly visible on the moon out in the dark too, resolution of the handheld phone camera is kind of low to show that clearly though. Too bad I...

    Moon today?

    Sorry I missed that early morning moon last month, but I'm just going to piggyback on this thread instead of starting a new one if you don't mind. :) Beautiful moon this evening, a thin crescent "cup". Just a couple quick handheld shots out back with my three year old iPhone, right from the...

    Incoming: Big boydsmaps update

    It's a little hard to nail that number down. I see 150 IP addresses being used in the last 24 hours but not likely those are all actually different (real) people. To answer that question, I would need to identify users with some kind of data stored on their devices (such as cookies) and I don't...

    The new menu is now online. You may not see it immediately due to the usual cache issues however.

    Switched to a bold font, solid black background and brighter green. Also made the selected map monochrome. I find this much more readable, but now that I've re-written the relevant code it will be pretty easy to tweak further if needed. Still have almost two hours left of a big 10-hour map tile...

    Yeah, I agree that the colors could be improved. My focus was just getting all the major changes online, but I will have another look at this now, the colors need more contrast.

    Wind Advisory

    Some of the gusts have been pretty scary. Not a good day for a walk in the woods. :( Power flickered a few times last night but didn't go out. I have to give props to Atlantic City Electric. For the past few weeks there have been convoys of Asplundh trucks trimming trees around the power lines...

    Pine Barren History Shorts

    Very cool, I have wondered about Butler Place before. The 1949 USGS topo shows the recreation area but doesn't have the Butler Place name, so I never quite made the connection before. But the other historic topo's show the name as Butler's Place. Somehow that got shortened to just Butler...
