I use NOAA for everything. The hourly forecast is fairly technical, having nothing but graphical information going out 48 hours. I like it because it shows wind direction as vectors and you can see the times at which wind speed direction will change over time by seeing the vectors gradually...

I bought a lot of beer balls in the early 80's ! Good memories, so I've been told. :)

As the weather started breaking up late Saturday afternoon we took a walk back to a few old haunts along the Sleeper. Lost of memories for me back here including my oldest son's first wood duck. We pushed a few migrating woodies out when we were back there, making it even more memorable. The...

Yep.

When they were required, I bought the NJ Woodcock hunting stamp every year and always managed a few each season incidental to rabbit hunting in and near swampy areas right here in P'Town. When I was a kid, we used to bag quite a few on the Laurel Oak Golf Course in Gibbsboro near dusk behind one...

Oh....dock. Whew. :)

Yes, your photos show that the snare is not set. I see a support wire wrapped around the snare and I see no formed loop. Here is a detail of what a set snare would look like. Loop size and loop height are set differently for various animals. A 30-40 minute roundtrip for a line check is not...

Snares are legal for trapping every day from November 15 to March 15 each year, Guy. They have to be physically checked every 24 hours. Cameras don't count. There should be a brass trap tag on the snare, usually attached to the swivel point.. The tag has to have the CID number of the trapper on...

Well then, it was probably just a cooler full of Girls Light. If I knew that and I was following behind, I would have run it over. :)

Wow. Judging by the way the Playmate Cooler hit the road in the first video, I am going to say it contained a good, solid Italian hoagie, some chips, a couple apples and (6) cans of quality IPA's for the tailgate get-together after the motorcycle adventure. Where was this again ? I want to check...

That is horrible news Piney Warden. I wish you well. I have a friend who contracted it several years ago and one of his biggest problems stemmed from him not being able to find anyone to accurateley diagnose it. Similar to the advent of Lyme Disease in this area , doctors were just guessing at...

The inside is much quieter Ed and the menu is completely different than outside. The inside menu is far better and isn't comprised of bar food. The bartenders are more personable too because it is usually less crowded and more relaxed. They always have at least one craft beer on tap and their...

I am shocked Robert.

That is a great article Gibby. I used to come home from college for the weekend on Fridays in the late 70's/early80's traveling south from Rutgers. I would use 130 a lot to break up the monotony of the NJTP and I remember Giovi's and the light structure vividly.

An area that I fish regularly off Cape May is called Five Fathom Bank. It's a several mile-long string of shoals that rise to just 30' of water, marked at the north end by 2FB and at the south end by 4FB. The Five Fathom Bank Lightship marked the south end until 1966 when it was replaced by...

I work for a civil engineering firm and I have always been amazed at the service life of terra cotta. We have removed 100 year old pieces that looked like new, especially the interior. However, the photos you posted vividly illustrate the biggest problem with terra cotta pipe and that is, the...

A little too much cloud cover tonight, unfortunately. Plenty of stars but I started noticing a little white haziness. We stayed put for 10 minutes after the event was supposed to happen. Aircraft were easy to see in every direction. I checked NOAA satellite weather and I could see a thin but...

I have several NOAA buoy stations saved in my phone that I monitor for fishing weather in the summer. Although I never fish that far north, I always like to glance at the Texas Tower #4 buoy (44066) during stormy weather. There's usually a major ass-kicker going on out there when we are getting...

Until last night, I didn't know Sh&t about Starlink. I have educated myself very quickly after my son sent me a video last night of what looked like a miles-long illuminated train arcing through the sky. Here is a link offering information on the best times to see them based on your position...

I wouldn't say that the low attendance numbers would be alarming to the NJDEP. I would say that they would find those numbers to be emboldening and encourage them to keep moving forward with their plan.
