I stopped watching them and going to their site after they started this. Sensationalist bs for the social media masses

I agree, however I could see using names for blizzards on the level of 78, 96, 03, 05, 15, 16.

But you just say 96 everyone knows what you mean...well at least we do. I don't need to remember it as Blizzard Bert or winter storm calliope

Yeah true. It used to be the same for hurricanes, like 38, which is the king. Anyone from this area with basic weather history knows what your talking about when you say 38.

Last night, October 12-13, turned out to be by far the biggest night of bird migration this fall.  (Most landbirds migrate at night).  Weather conditions - clear sky, light northwest winds, were ideal.  Cornell University's Birdcast estimated about 17 million birds crossed New Jersey during the night (alas, that doesn't mean they all land here).  The UCAR radar site shows the overnight migration clearly.  The first wave of our summer resident birds going south has already passed; these new birds are mostly our winter residents from the north - white-throated sparrows, juncos, yellow-rumped warblers.  I saw my first string of migrating wild geese.  It's been a fairly good fall migration, enough frontal passages reaching the coast to bring some waves of birds with them. That doesn't always happen, too often there are persistant east-northeast winds.

Am I correct to say that the radar in the Northeast is fairly unusual today?  Reminds me of how it looks with an arctic blast, except instead of flurries there are tons of what look like mini thunderstorms, though in winter they'd be coming more from the NW than from the N/NNE.

Yep cold pool clouds and showers...upper levels very cold for this time of year

What is causing all these vertical cumulus today?  Looked like The Day of Judgement driving down Rt. 24...

I guess the NWS discussion somewhat answers my question?  

Forecast mostly on track this afternoon. Moisture trapped
beneath a subsidence inversion between 7-10kft will continue to
lead to mostly cloudy conditions for much of the day. Sea breeze
convergence has developed some bands of cumulus of clouds along
it and cannot completely rule out an isolated shower.

you dont need the radar to see that-- the clouds look really weird today because of the inversion layer

Will be in Iceland starting Sunday. Last year we hiked Fagradalsfjall volcano and saw the fresh lava flow fields. This specific volcanic system was dormant for 8,000 years before it woke up in 2020; pretty crazy. Volcanic activity on the Reykjanes peninsula goes in cycles with the last having been during the Middle Ages, though Fagradalsfjall itself was dormant for far longer. 
 

Well it appears to be waking up for yet another eruption (it’s popped off three times now since waking up), as this looks to be the start of yet another intrusion that began with a 4.6 quake in the area last night and now a notable swarm today which could be magma beginning to break for the surface:

At the volcanic cone from 2021 and viewing the freshly cooled flow fields during our trip last year.
