00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: there alloft to get this snow falling, So some flakes

66
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,960

00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: is some snow mixing in at least, so that's something

73
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: to watch out for. There won't be anything in the

74
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: way of accumulation, really, just the precipitation part. Temperatures will

75
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: eventually land within a few degrees of thirty tonight and

76
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: then we'll clear the skies out. Have some sunshine tomorrow.

77
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,120

83
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: for that really really really gusty wind that's going to

84
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: be around. And then on Sunday, increasingly cloudy, cooler, temperatures

85
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: right around forty or so. Right now forty four degrees

86
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: in Boston, Oh snow has been melting. Space savers been

87
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: on needed these days or are they? It doesn't mean

88
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: there are space savers around. In fact, there are some

89
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: and one Boston City councilors at enough you don't touch

90
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: somebody's spots.

91
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 6: For parts of Roxbury, much like other parts of Boston,

92
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 6: space savers are sacred ground. When the snow is piled high.

93
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: People are direct about it to lay you took this

94
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: with good spots.

95
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 6: But city councilor Minyard Coldpepper has said this week he

96
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 6: has heard from constituents who have taken a forty eight

97
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 6: hour space saving grace period and have turned it into

98
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 6: a several weeks stay, even as pavement is bone.

99
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 5: Dry in some spots.

100
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 6: Justin tells me he wants space saving to go away altogether.

101
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 5: And it'd be better because then nobody would do it.

102
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 6: But for some moving that territory marker as a code

103
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 6: you don't break.

104
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: So I think that you know that's our spot.

105
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 6: But it is time to start moving on towards the spring.

106
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 6: In Roxbury, Jim McKay WBZ Boston's News radio.

107
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: Play to the final whistle. That's what the coach says

108
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: they almost did. In Foxborough, highly debated World Cup security

109
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,520

110
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: weeks to go till an exhibition match at Jillette Stadium.

111
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,920

113
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: reached an understanding collectively that allows the parties to finalize

114
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,119
Speaker 1: details needed to approve unevent license. Costs and who would

115
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: pay them have been the sticking point holding up that

116
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: entertainment license. The statement says as part of the arrangement,

117
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: the Town of Foxborough will not incur any cost or

118
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: financial burden related to the FIFA World Cup. There's the

119
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,320

120
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: Patter's Day. Everyone's Irish tonight, all right? But who really

121
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: is Irish? The US Census Bureau says some thirty five

122
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: million Americans claim Irish ancestry.

123
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 3: That's about ten percent of the US population. But that

124
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 3: small group parties big. There will be hundreds of Saint

125
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: Patrick's Day celebrations across the country this weekend. Parades, festivals,

126
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 3: Leprechaun runs, Dying the River in Chicago, and don't forget

127
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 3: the pub crawls, Irish music and lots of dancing. It's

128
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 3: enough to make anyone want to be Irish. And on

129
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: Saint Patrick's Day you can be because he was an Irish.

130
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,640
