Skip clogging the band right now

Amazing skip happening right now. Heard Black River Falls WI on 99.7, and Minnesota on 99.9.
A report from Lakewood that a Lincoln Nebraska station is slamming 106.3 and even the NY stations can't be heard there. Country music is all over the band from the mid west.

I was listening to 94.7 KNOX-FM/Grand Forks, North Dakota, driving home this evening. I also had 93.1 KKYA/Yankton, SD, and one or two C- call sign stations from Canada. A lot of stuff was coming in at once -- none of the Philly FM stations were making it to Mays Landing this evening.
 
None of the NYC stations were making it clear past exit 11 on the Turnpike this evening. I parked for about 2 hours and logged 2 pages worth of e-skip.
 
I received 93.5 the hawk from Columbus, NE in New Jersey. There was also a country station I got on 99.9, a station playing "boogey oogie oogie" on 104.1, and Nickleback "If today was your last day" on 104.5 which had some interference to local 104.3 in New York City. It would've been a much better e-skip log if it wasn't for all the pirate stations in the New York area and a radio that could ID these stations.
 
Yesterday afternoon in Wayne, I had two different stations alternately obliterating WNYC on 93.9. I couldn't identify them, but one ran a commericial for a sponsor with a phone number in the copy. When they didn't mention an area code, I knew they couldn't ANYWHERE near here!
 
There was a time in November when I was on the turnpike around exit 7 that I was picking up this station on 94.9. I heard the TOH ID but forgot the call sign, but said they were from Virginia Beach. I also picked up 107.3 from Washington, DC, but none f these other stations from 1500 miles across the country
