71
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: in Boston this morning. We are looking at just a

72
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: slight area of precipitation coming down in parts of western

73
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,920

75
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,600

Speaker 1: of the area is going to see a change over

79
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: to snow. This system, which was targeting us earlier this week,

80
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: seems to be staying a little bit further south from

81
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: our area, which means most of eastern Massachusetts will just

82
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: get maybe a coding to an inch of snow, and

83
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: some of us even nothing at all. But the further

84
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: west you go here in Massachusetts, it's a couple of

85
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: inches and maybe some plowable snow in portions of western

86
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: mass Now after today, sunshine returns. Tomorrow, highs around forty

87
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: We're looking at the possibility of another snowstorm. This one

88
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: could be more substantial Friday night into Saturday, and the

Speaker 4: Day period leading to Holy Week, then Eastern derived from

96
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 4: an Old English word, Lent means spring. During the early

97
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 4: days of Christianity, Lent started a period in which many

98
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 4: believers restricted themselves to one meal a day. Today's sacrifices

99
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 4: mean millions will give up certain foods, luxuries, or habits,

100
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 4: and will perform additional acts of Chines. Holy Week begins

101
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,159

102
