My thoughts on the FCC banning future DJI, Chinese drones in America
The United States government, through the FCC, has stopped most new drones made in other countries from being sold here. This happened on December 22, 2025, because of fears these drones could harm national security. The biggest company affected is DJI from China, which makes most over 70% of drones in America.
People can still use and buy older models that were already okayed. American drones are available but usually cost more.

We need the rain but DON’T need the STRONG winds coming to the Jersey Shore
THURSDAY’S FORECAST: We need the rain but not the winds that will come with it. Power outages and wind damage threaten with a Friday storm system. I got the Shore details on that. Plus, it’s a much needed balmy day, again! Highs hit the low to mid-50s.

Recap Sunday’s Snowy Winter Storm with us at the Jersey Shore
4:45PM
SUNDAY NIGHT FORECAST UPDATE: The snow has settled and it piled high in the northern part of the Jersey Shore. Jackson picked up 8.6″ of snow! Woof. Now, it’s big time cold thanks to a biting wind out of the northwest. Something your generic weather app won’t tell you? How traveling on the rails, roads and skies look tonight.
1:30PM
Snowfall totals will end up between 5″-9″ for most of Monmouth County, with 4″-8″ for Ocean County. Atlantic Count was 2″-4 and Cape May County will be up to 2″.
This overperformed at the northern part of the shore, and really the whole northern half of the state. We’ll talk about that later, though. Here’s a look outside during a livestream I did in the snow.

This is turning into a legit winter storm! Over 6″ of snow fell in some parts of the Jersey Shore and it has to do with one band of heavy snow that formed.
