You should have nothing to worry about for driving after 8-9 am and Monday night will be well above 32F, so no issue there either. Might all be melted by 7 pm.
OT: Cold/Snowy Pattern Continues for Early April: a few inches on 4/3? More next weekend?

Thanks... think the tarp only covers the infield and not the Outfield.
Good point on the Seats ...thank g-d our seats are just under the overhang in Section 214 and covered.
Sorry folks, but John O. and I go back to the mid-90s and his Knight Court site, then Exit 109, then when that merged with the Rutgersfan.com message board, forming the first real RU message board and for 20+ years since then; we're also friends outside of the internet. So my loyalty is clearly with him and Scarlet Nation and I expect I won't be posting much at all here any more (only have energy for 1 RU board). My best wishes for all of you who remain here, although I hope to see many of you on the SN board, especially on the weather threads.
Oh you will, don't worry, you will! :)
FYI, huge bust coming tomorrow. Nothing is going to stick on pavement.
this board will be for the peeps who hate snow
Mega +1
No more wishcasting on this board!
haha good luck..but seriously we have this event tomorrow morning which the big question is how much falls on the roads/sidewalks vs the grass...to be frank, no one really gives a crap how much falls on the grass, its all about whether it sticks or not. For some locations they will do better than others, all going to come down to rates
as for a weekend event, why bother scaring people 7 days away. Not even worth looking at given models have been generally terrible at consistency a week away and that we already will be at April 8

Weather threads with you at the helm are going to be so much better on this site!
And yes, nobody gives a crap about snow on grass. It's all about roads and sidewalks. FYI - WeatherWorks has our area at 2-4, but lower end and perhaps under an inch on pavement.
They funny thing about #s was he would go bat ship on a poster who would post about something a week away calling them stupid but this year he starts threads 10 days out.
The Hamptons webcam is operating.After seeing a beautiful sunrise,then a blue moon a few days ago,the snow looks as if we've entered a time warp.
Sounds like the Governor forgot to treat state roads before the storm. Tons of accidents on those roads.
Where are you? Looks like and inch or so on the roads in the greater Princeton area, but obviously more on grass.
As per Dan Zarro, most of this will melt lately today. Temps will go into the mid 40's with some additional rain.
So #'s abandoned this thread and ran off to TOS?
no excuse for the state to not presalt in advance...could have nipped some of the road slush in the bud
grassy surfaces have 2.5 inches here in Belle Mead but less than 1/2 on paved and do not think that will increase much as compaction is occurring and snow will lessen in intensity

not very nice of him considering that the majority of posters have not made the flip yet and there is little discussion going on over there. Its not like there is a rush or anything
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
730 am update: Band of heavy snow continues along/northwest of
the Fall Line, but the precip is quickly winding down in south-
central Pennsylvania, with drier air quickly moving into
portions of Delmarva as well. Wintry mix of rain/sleet/snow has
struggled to accumulate this morning along/south of the I-76
corridor, so have cancelled the advisory south of here. Several
3-5 inch totals have come in from the heavy snow band north/west
of the metro, so the advisory has materialized here quite well.
06Z and subsequent hi-res models have adjusted the main snow
band axis southward...so the uncertainty in the banding existed
right until the event started.
Will likely need to trim the advisory from south and west even
more during the next couple of hours as precipitation begins
tapering off and surface temperatures begin to climb.
600 am update: A band of heavy snow has developed from Berks
County east-northeast through the Lehigh Valley into northern
New Jersey (Somerset/Warren/Hunterdon/Morris Counties). Recent
snowfall reports from these areas and somewhat farther to the
north suggest 1+" inch per hour snow rates are occurring within
this band. Surface temperatures are near or slightly above
freezing in this band, so pavement may be slow to accumulate
initially, but given the rates being observed here, expect
travel to become treacherous in this corridor in the next 1-2
hours. Accumulations within this band may be slightly higher
than forecast locally (perhaps 3-6 inches in this corridor).
Meanwhile, snow reports of 1-3 inches have been received in
Carbon/Monroe/Sussex Counties, with the highest elevations
receiving a little bit more. A heavier round of snow is expected
within the next 1-4 hours, so accumulations here were
unchanged. All in all, the event is unfolding reasonably closely
to the forecast.
As alluded to in the previous discussion (below), any snow/sleet
accumulations in the southern tier of the advisory area look
minor at best. Trimmed Cecil/New Castle/Salem Counties with this
update, and may trim portions of the Philadelphia metropolitan
area eastward to southeast Burlington County in the next hour or
two if trends continue.

I have to say, this is a royal screw-up as of Day 2. Traffic on both sites is very limited. Most users didn't quickly make the move and I bet a lot are just pissed off on how this all went down. Add on top of this that the new site blows and is very different than what people are familiar with.....that may indicate trouble ahead.
Right now, our online RU community is split and many are just sitting on the sidelines.
the way it went down clearly sucked, it was secretive...and then it was sort of made out to be some big exodus rushing over to another board but why..there is no rush, the board really is not set up for anyone to post, its terrible layout and slow , hurts the eyes and there are all kinds of sticky type posts.
Meanwhile everything that people had before here is still here besides round table stuff, so as an information forum with this setup, CURRENTLY it is the better option, when they got those things fixed over there then we will see but geez why wasn't attention paid to a new design BEFORE a switch got made.
