I was so excited to tell my son first thing this morning, he's the ultimate Pete fan as you all know. He was beaming!
Hummel is a mid west guy that probably favors teams from that area.Announcers have personal bias but most keep those view points in check during games.He may be a good analyst, but he likes to take digs at RU. Over and over again.
Absolutely I can’t believe it we were yelling so loud it was a completely obvious call. Why no review??I asked earlier and will ask again. How did that crew not review the out of bounds call going into a timeout late in the game with just over three minutes to go? The whole arena saw the replay and let them know they blew the call.
Exactly not worth mentioning bustAre you just trolling? NWS had all of CNJ in the 1-2" swath and your and my point and click forecasts were for about 1.3" of snow which is clearly within 1-2". Many forecasters had us in 1-2" of snow. Also, I posted the two versions of the NAM to illustrate that by inference, the NAM forecast was for 2" of "snow" as sleet which is 2/3" of frozen precip on the ground, which isn't too far off what we have, which is why the NAM won the forecast derby.
And I said it was a snow vs. sleet forecast bust, not a bust for impact, which Walt and I agreed with. Here's what he said in reply to my discussion of why sleet is just as impactful on travel and removal as snow (maybe moreso, since it melts more slowly). Not too many get props from a legend like Walt.
"You're explanation is imo, excellent and why we do what we do for kind of improving traveling life, when travel is not necessary or can be delayed. We love the flakes but it's the frozen-freezing that is the problem. Well stated.
I'll addd while Im here... the NAM is the so called winner on less snow and more IP... but its not nil and if you're getting snow this morning its your win. Wantage NJj has had very little snow so far. We are 0.4" sleet and down to 21F at 630AM
Finally: maybe the city and Island are OK on roads... am not quite sure though I check Cams around CP. Feedback will be helpful.
But overall I think this advisory is a success... imperfect yes, but not worth mentioning BUST. We'll look at this later today to see what has occurred."

I agree this is a bust for the snow predicted. The models and guidance were leading people to speculate whether we'd get an initial thump of snow, wall of snow to begin, etc that then gets a crust of ice on top to end it, before going all rain.Are you just trolling?

I have heard without the carpet is colder.Are boxes more expensive with or without carpet ??

No one thought we were getting 2 inches of snow
Clown maps generally useless during an event like this
Tropical tidbits is horrible..why would you post that when pivotal more accurate
Even the nws maps stated 1 inch for most
The sleet signal was strong and models in the late stages were cutting snow amounts..even the hurricane rap hwr
Walt drag even told you this wasn't a bust
Nagao has been injured both years at penn state, he had a lingering knee issue last year and still made R12 and is taking a medical RS for a bad elbow injury this season, if not for the inj he probablY be the starter this year and Davis would have RSedCrazy to think few years after Nagao transferred into PSU he’s on the outside looking in for a starting spot… why did he even leave Minnesota in the first place?? They are back on the rise…. Blaze gotta prolly go 141 unless he wanna challenge SVN for 149… Nagao best shot prolly face Davis for 133 ..
Both Mirasola can get in the lineup if Barr goes 184… then that leaves out Ryder unless he wants to challenge for 197. But Barr looking like a good sized 197 now so how likely is it that he even drops down to 184 next year .
Good decision. It was a mess in the Trenton area early. *edit* It's better to wait for the frozen precip to pass before hauling everyone into the office.State offices have delayed opening until 11am
Hopefully this translates to MLB successAcuna needs to play. He had a great winter league ball
