njdevil26 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I live in Clark. There's at least a foot already on the ground. There's supposed to be another 12-14 inches coming. It's bad here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellOnICE Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 if NJ Transit isn't having problems (i don't know one way or another), then i don't think PATH would be, as they share much of the same track outside. plus if NJ transit is running and PATH isn't, you can always pay a few extra $ and go into penn station. NJT is running but is cancelling trains left and right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deke Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) NJT is running but is cancelling trains left and right. Many of the trains on the M&E and old Lackawanna lines out of Hoboken will have problems, those lines go through very hilly terrain and in some spots have limited service, not having anything pass through for hours could lead to a lot of snow/ice buildup on switches and overhead wire. I'm sure NJT is ontop of this already, they are a stellar organization when it comes to dealing with the weather. The biggest problem when it comes to diesel locomotives/electric units is when ice and snow builds up inside the traction motors, both AC and DC traction motors can go haywire in the snow. The moisture shorts them out and leads to HV ground faults. Another big problem is snow getting sucked into air intakes, a big diesel prime mover needs lots of air to keep cranking, once their clogged good luck getting anywhere. The newer computer-centric engines will flash you a "Horsepower reduced!" message and if you're slogging it with a heavy train you're gonna stall. I've had to start many a diesel locomotive in the snow, and it's never fun. Sometimes you gotta dig/broom your way into the cab.

RSC Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I'm worried about getting there and not getting back - I don't knwo what to do. The PATH system is saying nothing/no alerts/no nothing. Yeah, same. I really, really want to go because its going to be an awesome experience, I think, but being stuck in Newark Penn for several hours isn't my idea of fun.

Marv4Life Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Just heard on ABC7 that NJT will be canceling/combining some trains after 2:30. They already started on the NEC line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdeselich88 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 i have a station wagon, if you all get caught at the arena after the game, ill leave work and come and taxi you guys home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs26 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I hope people that go to the game do their due dillegence in regards to NJ Transit delays and cancellations, I'm sure we'll be hearing about some after-game horror stories. Ironically if it wasn't for mass transit I could see butts in the seats dipping below the fabled 334 number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeCups Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Just heard on ABC7 that NJT will be canceling/combining some trains after 2:30. They already started on the NEC line. Saw that as well. Things will be dicey tonight for sure. Good luck to those making the trek out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I just heard on channel 7 Governor Christie has declared a state of emergency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeCups Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I just heard on channel 7 Governor Christie has declared a state of emergency. Missed that. But if it is true....I can see the game getting postponed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Missed that. But if it is true....I can see the game getting postponed. They just said it literally a couple of minutes ago, so maybe he just declared it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devlman Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 If we didnt come close to selling out for Ilya's debut despite the fact that there was no snow on the ground I cant imagine the crowd for this. Hopefully they inflate the numbers just like they deflated the numbers for the Leaf game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEV1LDR1VER Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I understand if both teams, NHL officials, and doctors are on site the game will be played and generally there are no ticket refunds. But if train schedules are affected and the governor declares a state of emergency, I think the Devs will adjust their policy and honor our tickets to another game. No?

Weekes Head Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 well as of an hour ago, TG said the game was being played as scheduled. i don't see them reversing that decision. i'm sure if enough people complain about the weather, they'll issue some sort of refund or exchange but i wouldn't even get my hopes up over that, especially after how horribly the whole power failure game went.

Weekes Head Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 over the past couple years, i can think of a few times where there were really bad snow storms but the game still went on as scheduled. no refunds or exchanges were issued whatsoever. the organization can't help the weather. neither can the fans, obviously, but what can you do? if you can make the game, have a great time. otherwise, don't risk it if you don't have to and just enjoy a couple beers and hopefully witness a kovalchuk goal or seven.

I'll be happy with the 1st (of hopefully MANY for YEARS to come) Kovalchuk goal of his Devils career! BTW, love the sig! I nearly died when I saw that posted that day last week when we were all anxiously waiting for an announcement... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oofrostonoo Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Snowing really really hard in NYC...Cant see more than 2 blocks away, and the street is barely visibile from my window. I came into work just so I could take the train to the game tonight. My boss just said we can leave when our work is done... when will the bar next to the Rock be open for business? I'm thinking about getting there nice and early for some pre-game happy hour(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 haha thanks. it was a brilliant moment in njdevs history. (might i say, if i lived in new jersey right now, i'd attempt to go to this game i'm sure. lol. i'm just that much of a nut i suppose.)

SatansDevils Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 They have to play this game and will play this game. There are no openings for make up dates and cannot play three games in three days. Tickets are actually selling right now on ticketmaster and stubhub. There will be plenty of fans at the game tonight via the trains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
