OT: Minor Snow/Sleet Weds evening, 2/12: ~1" near and N of 80; <1" S of 80 to 78; up to 0.1" freezing rain for NWNJ/Poconos/LV; just rain S of 78

Rather than trying to keep all the weather/snow info in the other thread, bac suggested (and I bet @e5fdny would approve, lol) that a separate thread would make more sense, especially given the hoops game Weds night. So here we go. Below is the NWS map of the expected snowfall from wave 2 from 7 am Weds to 7 am Thurs, with the snow likely to start between 7 pm and 10pm Wednesday night, so hopefully minimal impact on the game, but some impact can't be ruled out. The snow will start to changeover to sleet and then rain (minimal freezing rain expected) from south to north through the evening/nighttime, after putting down 1-2" a little SE of 95 from Philly to Perth Amboy (and everywhere south of Philly), with 2-3" likely along and NW of that line from Philly to Perth Amboy all the way to NWNJ and the Poconos/Lehigh Valley/NW Phillly burbs. Could be about 1/4" of plain rain after the changeover for most (with more sleet/less rain in the colder locations well NW of 95).

Map shows a pull back since earlier maps posted this morning. Now 1 to 2in in Philadelphia.
All these systems training through the region have very little precipitation. At a time the region is desperate to get out of it's drought.

OT: Super Bowl LIX - Game Thread

Undeniably older people both black and white have far greater appreciation of real musical talent.
No hippies of the 60s and 70s would ever dispute the musical talents of Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Louie Armstrong or Glen Miller.
No Grungers of the 1990s would ever dispute the talent of The Allman brothers, The Stones, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Michael Jackson and The Supremes….Real musical talent.

I grew up with Motown, The English Invasion, Southern Rock, Great Blues by Muddy Waters, James Cotton, Buddy Guy, Ray Charles….Elvis!

The music of today does not transcend, thusly there’s no music appreciation for yesterday’s performance imo.

Whitney Houston’s National Anthem would have made people cry in 1920 or 2025…. Talent

Great music is appreciated looking backward not forward…Jimi Hendrix would probably say he dug Johnny Cash or Taj Mahal, if he was listening last night he’d say, that ain’t music.

OT: Super Bowl LIX - Game Thread

Dude, time for you to get back on your meds. I spoke to people in their 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s, and by far the overwhelming consensus was that this was the worst half time show ever.
it was as the worse ever that’s coming from lots of people under 40. it is what it is not sure why that idiot keeps attacking people for not liking the music yesterday.

OT: Minor to Moderate Snow/Mix Likely Sat Evening (2/8) through Sun am

I am appreciate of a lot you do, so thanks. I wasn’t accusing you of anything. Well maybe being a little too optimistic for snow. I love snow. When there’s a rumor I run to this part of the board, usually just to be disappointed. I’m not sure how winter is technically measured but it sure doesn’t feel for the last two or three decades of my life we’ve had much of a winter.

I’m not touching the global warming content. I’ll only say, also in my lifetime, we’ve been told a new catastrophe is coming every decade but somehow they never materialize. So I’m a bit skeptical that it’s anything more than natural weather fluctuations.
Thanks, although 2000-2020 was the 2nd snowiest 20 year period in the ~150 year record for Philly to NYC, so your memory is a bit fuzzy on the last 20-30 years. And on warming, there's zero doubt the planet is warming from human activity, but the calls for imminent doom from the left have always been way overblown, while the dismissal of the science from the right are specious - and most of the things that can be done to corral the warming are generally good for everyone (improved energy efficiency, reduced waste/consumption, developing alternative energies, etc.). @DJ Spanky - feel free to delete the climate comments if you wish, although this thread had kind of run its course (just don't delete the thread, please if it goes awry, thanks).

OT: Super Bowl LIX - Game Thread

This thread is really getting silly. I don’t particularly care for Kendrick Lamar’s music and didn’t enjoy the halftime show as a result. But c’mon people — different strokes for different folks. Fact is he’s a superstar with a ton of appeal. Do we really need to argue back and forth about different tastes in music?
I don’t think it’s so much arguing about different tastes in music, as it is the decision to have him perform at the SB. If you like Kendrick Lamar’s music, have at it: listen to it, stream it, go to his concerts. But the choice to perform at the SB should definitely be one that has more universal appeal. There are plenty of acts that young/old, black/white would support, and fit this criteria.

The College Basketball Crown? Unfortunately, it sure looks like these are some sadly relevant questions after Maryland...

You could be right. How would you answer this if it were the NIT? And if yes, what's the difference between this tournament and the NIT? Because it seems like some fans have a different answer for the different tournaments...
I think Rutgers should play in either the NIT or Vegas tourney. Vegas I think is more fun and attractive for the players. We are Rutgers, we should accept any postseason invite. Just like we should accept any bowl invitation for football. Until we elevate to some higher levels with more sustained success, we should accept any opportunity to play more. I am always going to watch RU Basketball or Football as a diehard and a grad, so I always welcome watching more Rutgers sports. True masochism at its worst, I know, but I think many on here always want to see our teams play more as opposed to not playing or less.

No, why would I feel guilty about anything I post on the weather? Thought maybe you were referring to me since I post shorter term pattern threads and you quoted my post. Also, much of the area is only a little behind schedule this season in snowfall (while being just a tad unlikely that we didn't get any of the bigger storms, so far for the most part) - it's not like the past couple and there's potential for this to at least be a close to average winter for snowfall, plus this winter is colder than the 1990-2020 normal, so your 3- season state comment is somewhat off (although winters are definitely warmer than they used to be due to the planet warming - the "normal" period used is typically the last 30 years, not the last 120-150 years).

You guys don't seem to appreciate that Dylan and Ace are not only elite talents but elite competitors. They will jump at the opportunity to atone for this season and leave something positive for their Rutgers legacy.
exactly and to showcase their skills in Vegas in front of a ton of scouts....believe me it will not be about defense

RU would accept a bid.

Should we accept a bid? Absolutely, who are we, Rutgers, to turn our nose in the air to invites to anything involving the postseason. It’s not like we have a rich postseason history, accept the bid and play.

Dylan and Ace both play.

OT: Jalen Hurts/Giants Memory

In 2021 the Giants were close to becoming the team with the worst regular season record ever to make the playoffs.

The Jents needed the Jalen Hurts led Eagles to defeat the Redskins and miraculously the Giants would be in.

Jalen played a first half exactly the way he’s played the last 4 years, only to be inexplicably removed from the game for the great Nate Sudfeld.

We all know what happened then…lol😊

Don’t know why i thought of this.
