Speaker 1: some areas.

22
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 4: Good morning, absolutely, especially north of town. It is messy.

23
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 4: It's very as slushy and icy, and it's that thick

24
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 4: kind of slush that gets under your tires, and a

25
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 4: lot of people have been spinning out out there. Several

26
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 4: crashes north of town on ninety three Route three four

30
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: after oil tankers don't seem to want to risk being

31
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,720

Speaker 1: Triple A says prices in Massachusetts are at an average

33
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: of three point fifteen a gallon. That's up a nickel

34
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: overnight and twenty five cents more than just one week ago.

35
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: Still a bargain though compared to the nation as a whole,

36
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: with the average of three dollars and thirty two cents

37
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: a gallon. President Trump says he understands the situation, but

38
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,360

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,720

00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: board while that vessel was at dock in Provincetown. It's

Speaker 1: in the lineup at the Garden as the Celtics host

54
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 1: the Dallas Mavericks. A short weekend is on the way

55
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: as Americans once again play with our clocks while our

56
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 1: neighbors to the north stop time.

57
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 2: This weekend will be the final time British Columbia is

58
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: adjusting its clocks. Springing forward the Canadian province is permanently

59
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,399
Speaker 2: adopting daylight saving time. Now ten from Boston doesn't mind

60
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: losing an hour of sleep. An hour of business, however,

61
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 2: is another story.

62
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 4: Those Now it's walk of business because I'm in.

63
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: Like the coy wash business.

64
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 4: So it gets doc girl and.

65
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: That bud time is just a construct man. According to

66
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: Edwin over here, this is truth.

67
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: There's twenty four hours in a day. No matter which

68
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: way you slice in twenty three or twenty five, it's

69
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: twenty four hours. We're not gaining an hour, we're not

70
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: losing an hour. We're just agreeing that it's this time.

71
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: Hawaiian Arizona are the only states that do not observe

72
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: daylight saving time. In Boston's Leather District, James Rojas w

73
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: b Z, Boston's news radio, Well.

74
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure there will be a sunrise. It's just that

75
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: we here in Greater Boston won't be able to see it.

76
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: A mixed precipitation here in the city, and it looks

77
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: like it's coming down as mostly snow just north of town. Now,

78
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: these are the final hours of this weather system, and

79
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: hopefully the final hours of us have to deal with

80
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: a wintry mix of precipitation. Spring is two weeks from today.

81
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: We're going to see these storms clouds move away from

82
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: us later on today. Temperatures will eventually rise towards forty.

83
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: We'll see total accumulation of a couple maybe three inches

84
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: of snow north of town, but even higher totals as

85
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: we move further north and into the southern New Hampshire region.

86
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: But it's been a mixed bag pretty much everywhere else,

87
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: and in fact, all rains south of town this weekend.

88
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: Have we get a treat for you as temperature is

89
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: going to rise to about fifty tomorrow, into the fifties

90
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and long range looks like we're going to

91
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: be well into the sixties at least to start next week.

92
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: There's an outside possibility that some of us will hit

93
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: seventy degrees. Right now, it's nothing but winter here in

94
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: Boston and thirty three degrees here in the city. And

95
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: again spring begins two weeks from today.

96
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 3: It's been a long, dogged winter and this Cape Cod resident.

97
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 5: Is really really looking forward to the good weather.

98
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 3: Well, it isn't spring just yet, but his hopes are modest.

99
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 3: I'll see fifty fifty will be nice thanky for him

100
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 3: and the rest of us who have been snowed in

101
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 3: seemingly for months. Warmer weather is in the forecast, with

102
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 3: the potential of hitting that fifty degree plateau tomorrow and

103
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 3: temperatures into the sixties, maybe even scraping seventy next week.

104
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: Sound good, ma'am sixty degrees? Oh hell yes, I hate

105
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: the winter. I hate snow. Chris Vama, WBZ Boston's news Radio.

106
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: Today marks the anniversary of the bitter end for Napster.

107
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: Remember that wbz's Drew mo'holland is here to remind us,

108
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 1: Good morning, Andrew Morning.

109
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 5: Jeffrey, a one time high flying pioneer in music file

110
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 5: sharing for free began its death spiral. What happened was

111
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 5: a federal court ordered Napster to stop sharing copyrighted material

112
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 5: on its peer to peer network. This happened twenty five

113
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 5: years ago.

114
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: Feels like yesterday for me, missus Jason.

115
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, the experts on the matter remember Eminem's Lose Yourself

116
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 5: being like the peak of service and with that issues.

117
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 5: That song was being downloaded like crazy at the time,

118
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 5: but it was also mislabeled a lot, like so many

119
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 5: other songs in the end, sixty million users left holding

120
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 5: the bag until Pandora, iTunes, Spotify all came along, charging

121
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 5: those fees.

122
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, charging fees that many people don't even think twice

123
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: about doubt about that, right. I remember those days of

124
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: Napster when you would be trying to download something on

125
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: a dial up and so you know, I would line

126
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: up with several songs, go to bed, and come up

127
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: in the morning and find out a lot and find

128
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: out a lot of the files were corrupted, so I

129
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: had to start all over.

130
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, or you have the wrong label and you remember, wait,

131
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 5: that's the title of that song you learned that?

132
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, exactly right. Ah, memories, and now we're up
