    Snow coming next week?

    The heavy stuff seems to be moving out of here (for now)

    Snow coming next week?

    The odds are going up! Now there's a 1% chance that I'll get 2 inches of snow. :dance: But some parts of Ocean and Burlington counties have 15% or higher probabilities.

    Raised trail?

    At the edge of a gravel pit, might have been bulldozed into a line to form a barrier. Or perhaps it's the spoils dumped there after they extracted whatever they were digging for? Would take a lot of time and erosion to wear that feature down to anything near the size of the one in the OP. :)

    Raised trail?

    Are you talkiing about the raised "ridge" feature here? That is about 10 to 15 feet higher than the surrounding terrain, at the edge of a gravel pit. https://boydsmaps.com/#19.15/40.248287/-74.076207/mbx3dmidatl/12.00/72.00

    Snow coming next week?

    The snow line is moving Southeast. I checked the New York City forecast yesterday and it was zero to two inches of snow, but now they're forecasting six inches in the city - quite a change! Nothing that dramatic for us in the pines though. But they say there's a 0% chance of the Pines...

    Schmung road

    Kind of like calling Philadelphia "Full'elphia"? :D I was on the faculty at the State University of NY at Oswego for many years. Local people would often pronounce Oswego like "Sweego", dropping the "O" from the beginning. I believe there's a Swago Road in the Pines somewhere, and I wondered...

    Are E-bikes motorized vehicles?

    See this - there's actually quite a lot about bicycles here https://dep.nj.gov/wp-content/uploads/rules/rules/njac7_2.pdf 7:2-1.7 Definitions "Motor vehicle" means any vehicle propelled other than by muscular power, except motorized bicycles, motorized scooters, and vehicles that run only...

    Schmung road

    That was also quoted in my first post. :) Thinking about this, Chatsworth is literally Old Shamong. If you follow Old Schmung Road Northwest, it intersects with what is now Chatsworth Road (although un-named on the 1949 Topo). So, I'm gonna go with the idea that this is the old road to Shamong...

    Schmung road

    Good catch, I did not connect that before. So, Andrews Road is called "Old Schmung Road" on the 1949 map. "Old North Green Street Road" (quite mouth full!) is also on the 24k topo. This sort of makes me think that it's just a different spelling of "Shamong" and the current location of Shamong...

    Schmung road

    Just noticed this on the 1949 topo yesterday (funny how I can still find new things on this old map). https://boydsmaps.com/#14.00/39.685469/-74.411793/pines1949/0.00/0.00 That name doesn't appear on any other map I've seen. First thought was just a mis-spelling of "Shamong", but this is in...

    Snow coming next week?

    8 to 12 inches is forecast for the Poconos and North Jersey - quite a contrast!

    Snow coming next week?

    Snow is coming tomorrow night... but not for the Pines. https://www.weather.gov/media/phi/current_briefing.pdf

    Badfish has not visited the forum since 2017, so we may never know. ;)

    Backyard Gardens

    Yes it's far-fetched. Maybe this is a hot issue in Arizona, but I've never heard of it in New Jersey. I'll be a little more direct this time: previous threads on climate change have gotten out of hand and ended with people getting suspended. A statement like "the insanity of the climate cabal...

    NJ bag ban causing more plastic use

    Didn't realize there was a difference - Joe Canals. Think I've seen it at another store too, but this one definitely has the strict policy, was carded there within the past month https://www.google.com/maps/place/Joe+Canal's+Liquor/@39.424516,-75.039285,18z/

    ...And you've been here long enough to know better than to fan the flames in a thread like this. :D

    Never heard of such a thing. But since you're new here, I should point out that similar threads about climate change have not ended well....

    NJ bag ban causing more plastic use

    There's a popular chain of liquor stores here called Canal's. They have a strict policy of requiring ID, regardless of age. I don't know why, but at 74 that just bothers me. I complain, but it's not the clerks fault so not going to pick on them. They just shrug their shoulders and say it's their...
