This Had To Be The Quietest New Year's In My 78 Years Of Life......i

[global1]

I live in a near western suburb of Chicago - fireworks usually go on most of the night and still go off the next morning too.

Not this year. Maybe 7 minutes of uninterupted fireworks - than silence

Really weird!!!

1. About 30"

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.

2. I slept through it all.

Did I miss something?

3. This is...

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.

4. Hey, 2na...Happy New Year...

5. You're lucky.

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

6. Ours was quiet, too.

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

North Central NC.

7. Light rain in San Diego between 11 pm and 1am...

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.
