In Northern Jersey.

Wasn’t bad with the windows closed. At first, I thought it was someone shoveling snow, but then I realized we didn’t have any snow.

Only one or two "bangs."
The cats were grateful.

Did I miss something?

The first time in decades that I did not hear one single gun shot, not even a fire cracker all night!

I moved to a nice quiet town where I haven't seen a gun rack in a pick up truck yet.

To you too!

They started at 7 PM in my neighborhood, and I was still hearing them at 2:30 AM. They were louder than usual, too.

Few gun shots but not the war zone it usually is. Zero fireworks.

North Central NC.

Then the rain got too heavy for fireworks.
And the fireworks "show" pretty much non-stop all over the city since around 1030 pm.
It was almost ferocious for a half hour around midnight - like the "attacking the Bosch and storming No Mans Land" part of a WWI movie..

Laz was taking a friend home around 1145 pm, said the sky was lit up everywhere the entire time he was out.

And now (5am through 6am), we're having heavy rains and thunderstorms, but it's still too warm for New Year's snow in the mountains.

almost frightening -- a mix of gunfire and fireworks that starts just after dark. Last night? Almost dead silence.

knocked out the enthusiasm for New Years Celebrations.

Basically- people lying low for the night.

And the loud ones were loud.

It was made worse by being socked in with clouds and light drizzle which amplified the bombs.

I had lots of illegal thoughts about the person or people shooting them off.

Some booms, but then again, I fell asleep well before midnight. LONG day of work. Off today and tomorrow, though.

Happy New Year to all DUers.!

Finally got to eat the pumpkin pies inhad planned for xmas. Nothing better than pie and coffee for breakfast.

From 8PM to 1AM continuous noise.
