11
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,879

Speaker 3: The goal is to really widen those streets, get all

15
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 3: the way to the curb wherever possible, so we still

16
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:52,839

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,040

19
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: cruise the space they need to get things to do.

20
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: And if you do have to get out there and travel,

21
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: you see those congo lines of plows. Don't crowd the plow.

22
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: Quite a few cities in towns reporting totals closer to

23
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: two feet today, Stirling and Hopkinson coming in with twenty

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: two inches. Gloucester, Lexington, Uxbridge, Leicester close behind at twenty one.

27
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,639
Speaker 4: Snow, snow and more snow. It's been a constant battle

28
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 4: at snowpole. Drivers try making streets more manageable.

29
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 5: It's been NonStop snow coming down. It's two inches an hour,

30
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 5: so I can just keep going around in circles.

31
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 4: That's scary. From Tewksbury. When I caught up with him

32
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 4: in Lowell, he had been working for over fifteen hours

33
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 4: and he wasn't done yet.

34
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 5: At least we got a little bit of a break.

35
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 5: Now he's a light up a little bit, but you

36
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 5: just keep working outside job, so we just keep going.

37
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 4: There's a lot of clean up.

38
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,120

49
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 4: Sometimes you gotta believe things before you can see them.

50
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 6: Okay, you gotta believe them before you can see them.

51
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 4: And from the time that we started, you did everything

52
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 4: that we asked.

53
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 5: You to do.

54
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: Now, once the Pat's head out to Santa Clara, they're

55
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: taking on the Seattle Seahawks, who beat out the Rams

56
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: for their ticket to California. A love much more on

00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: the Patriots throughout the day in Sports. At twelve and

58
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: forty two past the hour on WBZ, let's take a

59
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: look and see what the rest of the day holds

60
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: for us. And that is really going to just be

61
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 2: another round of snow. Believe it or not. Watching the

62
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 2: radar right now, we do have some snow showers in

63
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: parts of southeastern Massachusetts and those will move out here

64
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 2: in the coming hour or so. You're going to notice

65
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 2: a bit of a lull, and then we've got more

66
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: snow coming in from the west. Already starting to see

67
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 2: this coming down in places like Gardner and Fitchburg and

68
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: getting out toward Athol and Greenfield. In the Berkshears, you're

69
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: seeing some light snow as well with this storm that

70
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: is just finally trying to make the rest of it

71
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: through here. We're going to see another one to four

72
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: inches before it finally moves out sometime this evening. We

73
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: do have a winter storm warning up until eight o'clock

74
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: tonight because of this. Overall total snowfall will be between

75
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 2: one and two feet. Again, we've already seen almost two

76
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: feet in so many places, and blowing snow is going

77
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: to be a big deal. The winds are gusting out there,

78
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: up to about twenty miles an hour. You have a

79
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: high today just about twenty three real field tempts in

80
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: the single digits. For tonight clearing, breezy low, just about

81
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: ten real fields, dropping to ten below. Then for tomorrow,

82
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: mix of sun and clouds, breezy high, only twenty three

83
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: real fields, once again only in these single digits. Right

84
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: now in Worcester it's thirteen degrees north of Boston, fourteen

85
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: in Amesbury south of Boston, snowing in Halifa, twenty one

86
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: in Boston right now at eleven oh five, overcast at

87
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: sixteen and it feels like three. Well, as we wait

88
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: for the rest of this monumental winter storm to pass through,

89
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: road crews are not waiting. They're out there plowing and

90
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: shoveling to keep the streets clear. Massot Highway Administrator Jonathan

91
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: Gulliver says they're going to stay busy for a few

92
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: days from this.

93
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 3: We'll have crews on honestly for pretty much the entire

94
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 3: week is my expectation, though it's much smaller amount. But

95
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 3: we're worried about some of this melting and then refreezing

96
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 3: thing going on, and we still have a little bit

97
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: more slow to deal with today as well.

98
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: This morning alone, he says, they are about three thousand

99
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: pieces of equipment out there shoveling and plowing and pushing

100
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: that snow aside. And you can imagine that doing it

101
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 2: all is long, tiring work. You got to find the

102
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 2: way to pass the time. Right here's wbz's Hile Shaffle.

103
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 6: It's a snow day for the vast majority of us,

104
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 6: but not for all of us.

105
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 5: Ah, well, I've been plowing snow for twenty years. Now,

106
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 5: twenty years.

107
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 6: The plows and shovelers are out in force today trying

108
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 6: to dig out streets and parking lots.

109
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: It's it's not heavy, they're just the lot to move.

110
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 6: The work is monotonous and very tiring, So the question

111
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 6: becomes how to pass the time. Some cloud drivers who

112
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 6: are assigned to one parking lot or another will take

113
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 6: clandestine nets, and some even keep a pillow in the cat.

114
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 6: But when I ask for the prime noise to have

115
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 6: on in the background, I kept getting the same answer.

116
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: A lot of podcasts I listened to Joe Rogan, Yeah,

117
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: you gotta keep me motivated. Yeah yeah, well yeah, well

118
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: we'll put on a podcast.

119
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 5: You know, some Joe Rogan or something.

Speaker 7: a statement from EU Vice President Hanni ver Kunen, adding

129

137
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 8: kangaroos suddenly hopped onto the course, knocking them off their bikes.

138
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 8: At least five riders were forced to retire from the race.

139
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 8: The only serious injury was suffered by one of the kangaroos,

140
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 8: which had to be euseonized. Vine went on to win
