We are about to 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:10.760 get snowmaged and the white death that's descending on the 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:13.800 tri State. Everyone's in crisis right now. Everyone is losing 0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:17.680 their every loving minds. We've got people coming into the newsroom. 0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:20.439 We've got people with sleeping bags and cots. They're bringing 0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:24.360 emergency food rations, they've got medicine. We've got helicopters on 0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:26.640 the roof. We are ready for a crisis of epic 0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:30.880 proportions this weekend as a white death descends on Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. 0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:34.040 Let me jump right over to Jennifer Ketchmark over at 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:37.120 WCPO nine first Warding Weather Center. She's in the weather bunker. 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:39.360 It's not the center, it's the bunker right now where 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.040 I'm looking at the radar and under the first I 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:45.120 in Cincinnati, you're getting forty five feet of snow. Under 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:47.880 the last T in Cincinnati, you're getting seventy five feet 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:48.120 of snow. 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:50.360 Jennifer, good morning. How are you good? 0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:52.280 You know, just talking about snow a lot. 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.040 How much snow are you talking about here? 0:00:55.480 --> 0:01:00.240 I think six or sorry, eight to ten is probably 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:03.840 a good range for most locations. We could in our 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:05.960 northern spot see a couple of folks even sitting up 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:07.880 to a foot. 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.240 Because I was watching ABC and they were saying, we're 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:10.960 getting like four or five seven eight feet? 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.440 Yeah, four five seven eight feet, that's not right. And 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.160 loaves of bread too, six. 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:17.880 Seven You have young kids, I don't have to tell 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:18.440 you about suffer. 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:23.160 Yes, right, all right, so we've got And by the way, 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.080 I will point out that I don't know if you 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.200 heard this, but here's Governor Andy basheer uh in his 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:29.480 press conference earlier today. 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.640 I don't know if this is hare. Listen, I need 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:32.640 you to get prepared. 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.240 Now. Run. He's telling people to run in Kentucky. I 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:40.240 don't know if that's no, no, just run run. It's 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:41.319 going to be bad in Kentucky. 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:42.720 Run, governor. 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:44.840 And Basher has declared, I don't know if that is 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.000 an official state of emergency, but I've never heard him 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.000 all the things he's talked about when it comes to 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.240 the emergency governor. You live, you're a Kentucky the emergency governor, 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.960 of course. Uh, he's telling people to run. What do 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:55.600 you suggest? 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:57.440 What what an appropriate clip there? 0:01:58.200 --> 0:01:58.400 You know? 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:01.480 My suggestion is today you should make your way to 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:03.600 the grocery stores and get the supplies you need. 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:05.000 Not for armageddon. 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.680 You only need enough food to get you through the weekend, 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:11.200 maybe Monday of next week. If it's your typical grocery load. 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.040 You know, like if you're running out, you do not 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:16.080 need to clear the shelves. Also, double check your car today. 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.960 Make sure you've got windshell wiper solution in the reserve. 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.760 Make sure your tires are properly inflated. If you have 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:24.760 to drive, especially on Sunday, make sure you've got that 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.480 emergency kit in your car. Things like, you know, some blankets, 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.320 you have some foods and water on standby. 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.639 Not booze, you just need the water. 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.120 And just know that if you don't have to go 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.200 on the roads this weekend, cancel your plans and stay home. 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:41.520 I think I'm making Margarita's this weekend. Margarita's sound good, 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.200 It sound good, right, I'm gonna throw some sand on 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:47.080 the living room floor and brik margaritas pretending. Let's do it, 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.440 Pretend buffets coming to town or something like that. 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.600 I don't know. All right, so it's gonna start tomorrow. 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.639 Today's pretty dry, but I walked out this morning was 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:57.080 pretty cold, and I know it's gonna get cold. 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.120 Right, oh wait till tonight We're gonna drop down to 0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:02.240 four degrees Well, it'll feel like fifteen below tomorrow morning. 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:04.480 We actually have a cold weather advisory because of that. 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:07.160 But then the snow will start up early in the 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:11.160 afternoon on Saturday. So between noon and three the snow 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.840 will get here, and by six o'clock we should probably 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.320 already have like an inch maybe two inches of snow 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.839 out there starting to coat everything, So the roads will 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:22.000 not be impassable on Saturday. But the later it gets, 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.840 the worse it gets. Lights Our moderate snow will fall 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.720 for the rest of Saturday evening all Saturday night, and 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.919 like even waking up Sunday morning, we're probably looking at 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.360 four to seven inches of snow on the ground even 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:36.520 at that point, and we still have to get through Sunday. 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:40.160 Yeah, so overnight it's gonna kind of start off slow 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.000 and then get steadier, and then when you wake up 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:43.600 you feel it'll be the blanket of snow. 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.200 Yes, you'll wake up Sunday morning to a lot of 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.920 snow out there, and then more snow will fall on Sunday. 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.160 The big thing in the forecast that we're still watching 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:53.800 really closely and having to make some adjustments for is 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.280 this is a southern system, so some war mayor in 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.760 the middle middle level of the atmosphere is trying to 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.000 nose our way. And what that does sometimes is create 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:06.320 sleet that infamous switch over to sleet and freezing rain 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.840 that then eats away and our snowfall numbers. That is 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:13.080 a possibility on Sunday, But I will say this, We'll 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.200 already have four to seven inches of snow on the ground, 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:17.760 so then the sleet will fall on top of it. 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.480 It'll kind of like compact our snow a little bit. 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:22.800 It'll make it come down a little bit, but there 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.440 will be some new kind of ice pellets coming out 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:25.800 of the sky. 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:27.640 We could also see a little bit. 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.799 Of freezing rain Sunday midday and into the early afternoon, 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:34.200 like all the way out to like Maysville or Adams County. 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.440 It would not be an area wide thing, but like 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:40.720 once it's all done late Sunday evening, wrapping up, I 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:44.000 mean eight to ten inches of snow, maybe a little 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.279 bit of a sleep there in the sleet layer in 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:47.000 the middle of it. 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:50.240 In some locations, everything is not. 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.960 The roads are going to be covered, some will be impassable. 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.080 People should just stay off the roads. Snow emergencies will 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:01.720 be in effect. So that's why today, calmly walk into 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:05.520 your grocery stores. Be kind to the workers that work 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.680 there and the people that are in line. 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.320 Please just use patients. I was talking to a friend. 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:12.479 He was a line up meyer yesterday for twenty five 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.400 minutes before he even got to the front where he 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:15.039 could check out. 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.240 I was there yesterday. 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:17.680 I don't know. 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:19.080 I was early, it was early afternoon. 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.880 I forget and it was already picked over, So I 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:23.880 don't know what's going to be left in the store 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:25.200 today if you go. 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.080 The good news is I know people that run bread routes. 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:31.440 They deliver daily, so your store's probably got restocked last 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:33.320 night with bread. They go in at like two o'clock 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:35.640 in the morning and restock the shelves, so they are 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.480 working actively to try and restock those shelves as much 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.479 as they can. It's just if your family typically only 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.160 uses a loaf of bread a week, don't buy three. 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:48.799 Don't do that. Somebody else needs that loaf. Don't overbuyd say. 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:49.400 This is America. 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:50.640 You know what I'm doing to John, I'm going to 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:52.120 go after the show and buying all the bread, all 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.200 the batteries, all the milk, all the bottom water, all 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:54.840 the ply wood. 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:56.440 I'm buying all this stuff, and I'm going to sell it. 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.680 The dumb asses like Bill Cunningham who wait to the 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:00.520 last minute. I'm going to sell him a pork chap 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.320 for four hundred and fifty dollars. What about that. It's America, 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.600 damn it. I'm gonna make some money. I'm gonna gouge. 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:07.040 I'm gonna gouge him. 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:08.160 I'm gonna give him. 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.400 Encourage you to express kindness in your hand with that. 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.120 Does you're dumb enough to wait that long? I'm gonna 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:19.320 gouge you. This is America. I thank God bless America. 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:23.159 I'm a great American. I'm a price gouger. I'm a 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:23.880 great American. 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:25.440 Are you auditioning for go? 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.920 Cut right? Put the cheese on the cracker. 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:34.119 Jennifer Catchmark over at wcpot nine First Warning Weather Center 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.160 was slowly this morning, seven hundred WLW. The big stuff's 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.279 gonna start tomorrow after. Here's the other thing too. Do 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.680 you really need all that? It's really only gonna be 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.039 bad for forty eight hours, maybe seventy two. Monday, we 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:45.680 maybe dig it out a little bit more insight. Can 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:49.120 you survive? Most people have eight days worth of food 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.000 in the house now, granted it's probably the leftover of 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.839 a long expired salsa. Maybe you've got I don't know, 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.520 some soy sauce and Chinese carry out, right, but yeah, 0:06:58.560 --> 0:06:59.080 you've got. 0:06:59.040 --> 0:06:59.760 Enough to make it. 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.159 It's like people, you don't need to buy all this 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:03.560 stuff for crying out louds. 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.000 You do not need the seventy two count roll of 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:06.600 toilet paper. 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:08.440 It'll be fine. No Costco is a zoo. 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.000 It's a zoo above all this other you said. You 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:15.120 said the sleep models all seriousness on Sunday. What's the 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.360 reliability on that? Because I know that is the that's 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.400 the outlier by Sunday, you're still not quite sure. It 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.880 sounds like Jennifer, whether or not we're gonna see sleeder 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:23.840 snow if if the sleet holds off, if we don't 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.720 get that warm air of nose, which is the upper 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:30.600 atmosphere warm, we will get more snow then, right instead. 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.040 Of oh yes, if we don't switch over to sleet, 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:34.680 our snowfall numbers will hit fifteen. 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.720 So like if we kind of what we kind of 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:40.280 what sleep, it would be great. 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.440 Well, don't bury the lead. Let's talk about if we 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:44.120 if that, if they don't have. 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.080 A nose, if there's no nose, if it's no nose, 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:48.520 then we're all gonna die. We're gonna drown in snow. 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:53.480 Let's scare it now, stop asks work people up revenue. 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.040 No, no, people already think that I'm fear mongery and 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.600 I hated. They're like, you're the reason why the scores 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.160 are picked over. Exactly, I am not the reason. I'm 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.440 just telling you what the what the forecast is. People's 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.360 reactions are beyond my control. 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.160 Yeah, this is great because I put the words in 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.080 your mouth and then Monday, I'll rip you for scaring 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.040 people in the gun shops. 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:14.160 I will never answer your phone. 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:15.680 U and L. 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:16.240 Cunningham. 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:17.080 We're on my chopping. 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:19.800 Oh man, she's making she's making budget cuts. 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.320 First quarter. Here we go, Jennifer keshmark over at nine. 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:24.400 I know you got going, but the rest of the country, 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.400 this is like two hundred million people are in line 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:27.720 to get absolutely rocked. 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:27.880 Here. 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.320 I saw a story today. I think it was Oklahoma 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:32.760 they're expecting the foot of snow. They don't have any 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:34.079 plows in Oklahoma. 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.200 They have like one and they name it Dolly, like 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.319 somewhere Dorothy, you know something dumb like that. Yeah. 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:41.240 They use it to move like cow dung or something. 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.880 Right, Yeah, pretty much a tree comes down, they're like, hey, 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:46.040 go get the plow. It'll it'll move this faster than 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:49.280 the backbone that's had another tree. Yeah, no, it's they 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:52.240 don't have the infrastructure. Northern Arkansas is gonna get slammed 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.839 by this going into you know, Kansas City is about 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:56.400 to get slammed with a lot of stuff that they 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:57.360 are a little more. 0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:57.800 Used to it. 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:02.520 But I mean this system acting two thousand miles of 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:03.240 real estate. 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.520 That's a lot of snow. So we'll find out what 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:09.480 happens here. We'll talk about armageddon on Monday. If we 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.440 can survive at god, what do you so? What does 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:12.080 a meter rols? 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:12.520 Like yourself? 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.880 I'm sorry, a climate terrorist like yourself. Because you're scaring 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.200 everybody right now? What do you do this weekend? You 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:18.840 just honked You're gonna be in owt they You're gonna 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:19.640 be working all weekend, aren't you. 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:20.560 I'm working Sunday. 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:23.200 So I'll come to town Friday after or Saturday afternoon, 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.280 get into a hotel so I don't have to deal 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.559 with the people that can't drive on the interstace and 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.040 I always set a curse word on the radio. 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:31.439 Do it all the time. It's fine. No one's listening. 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:32.439 You're fine. 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.840 No, But I'm going to come in Saturday evening. Uh, 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:38.840 hang out the hotel. Be here Sunday morning. We're broadcasting live. 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:40.959 We're doing cut ins every hour on Sunday, just if 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.280 folks know what's going on. We are not going to 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:45.480 do the alarmist thing. We're just going to realistically show 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.880 you what is happening, what is still left. We're going 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:51.000 to talk about the reality. And then Monday morning I'll 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.000 be here as well. So probably two nights here downtown. 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:53.319 Whatever. 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.440 All right, all right, company, pay for super Bowl. It 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:57.720 is your super Bowl. You guys get so worked up 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.840 about this stuff. It's awesome. Jennifer cat over at w 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.240 CPO nine first wearing weather Keeping Updated and she'll be 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.040 popping in and out all the shows all day long 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.920 as well, and tomorrow too. I'm sure what's coming up here. 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.040 I appreciate you. Thanks so much be well nice here 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.240 from you, sir, say there you go, yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am, 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:16.120 Jennifer ketchmark over at nine here on seven hundred WLW 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:18.480 And if bad weather breaks out, we'll break in. I 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.880 love actually going and blaming her for all the bad 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.360 weather that we're having. If she misses it, we're gonna 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.160 hold hercount both not we take all the credit. But 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.360 that then leads kind of barred because I mean, seriously, 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:33.120 think about that. If if that sleek pattern, what did 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:36.040 she called it? The nose right, So that's basically I 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.520 was watching it yesterday, going that's kind of interesting. So 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:40.319 the sleet happens when you have warm air in the 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.199 upper atmosphere. It's still gonna be cold af down here, 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.280 we won't feel that, but upper atmosphere, the warmth comes 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.480 in over the top. And if that happens, then it 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:49.760 turns to sleet, which are pellets, right, and that's gonna 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:51.920 hit the fluffy snow from the cold below and weigh 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:55.320 everything down it many things even more treacherous, probably because 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.000 now that's almost like ice pellets on top of the 0:10:57.000 --> 0:11:00.640 fluffy snow. But if we don't get that sleet, then 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:03.040 we get more snow, so in the upwards of fifteen inches, 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:07.360 although here in Sinci I mean between twelve and fifteen 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:09.800 sixteen inches of snow, I mean really after a foot. 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:11.959 I think we're like, it doesn't really matter. It's kind 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.319 of like, well, the wind chill is gonna be minus 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.360 twenty or minus thirty, I don't know. I stop counting 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:22.520 after minus ten. It's just cold. It's deadly cold outside. 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.679 So it's gonna start moving in tomorrow late, right around 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.360 ten o'clock is when the white flag will go up 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.640 on the white stuff. I guess it'd be the green 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:34.280 flag and the white stuff and then kind of slowly 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:35.920 start up and then ramp up. By the time a 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.240 wake up Sunday morning, depending what time you roll out, 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.160 you're gonna have seven, eight, maybe even more inches on 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.800 the ground. So we'll see what happens here, and like 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.520 eight inches around north of Kentucky eleven up near Middletown. 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:49.719 But again these could change on Sunday. Sunday morning could 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:51.760 be a whole different thing as well. So at least 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.560 six inches plus of snowfall for the entire area, that's 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.280 for sure. Yeah, I think it's really interesting. The rest 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:00.640 of the country, heavy ice threatning power lines. You know 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.240 out west. You may recall back what five years ago, 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.320 I think twenty yeah, would be the twenty one winter storm. 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:10.000 The Texas power grid failed because of the winter storm there. 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:11.960 Over two hundred people died as a result of that 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:14.880 because the ice gets on the power lines knocks everything down, 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.040 and they're expecting that again. They think that this is 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.200 going to be a high watermark for the amount of 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.600 electricity that is demanded in America. I've often talked and 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:26.960 had people on talking about our power grid, and you know, 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.760 we talk about drill, baby drill, and natural gas and pipelines. 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:33.440 So that's all well and good because getting the natural 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:37.400 resources out of the earth and producing energy are critical 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:38.199 to our way of life. 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:39.000 Darmage structure. 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:42.480 This is also being stretch even more thinly because of 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:47.720 AI facilities, you know, Wilmington, Mount Aora, Butler County, Kentucky. 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:48.360 Everywhere. 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:50.320 They're fighting over whether or not we should a lot 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.679 of these giant data farms out there that use a 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:54.600 lot of energy, like the size of a small city. 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:56.480 I think one of them was the size of the 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:59.440 city of Hamilton, for example. One plant would use that 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:03.560 kind Some even use more than that, and so now 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.560 it's even stretch more thin. So you put this weight 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.600 on there too, and you wonder if it's a breaking point. 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.040 And I think a lot of people in the energy 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:10.480 business have their fingers crossed. Of course, you know, the 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.520 productions I said to one thing, but the transmission, which 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.679 is getting it from where the energy comes out of 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.160 the earth is produced to your house is a different 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.800 matter entirely. And we and you know, power plants for 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:25.280 that matters a long I guess I'll throw that in there. 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:26.560 You know, you can take the oil, but what do 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.080 you do with it? Okay, we've got to convert it 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:32.320 to gasoline or diesel. We don't have enough plants for that. 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:34.839 And if we use energy out of there, like let's 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.840 say natural gas, getting that to where the fuel is 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.040 a different story entirely. And then the power lines themselves, 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:41.840 which we don't have enough up or they're under so 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.840 much capacity and stress. You have a power outage, you 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.480 have ice coming in, and again this is how many 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.200 tens of thousands of square miles. You know, it's going 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.520 to affect what two hundred thousand people, two hundred million 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.600 people rather across the country. You think that some power 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:57.800 lines are going to come down. What does that do? 0:13:57.880 --> 0:13:59.960 We're going to find out. This is an interesting test. 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.240 I mean, I shouldn't say interesting, it's kind of scary 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:04.520 because if you're the one without power for a week 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:09.000 and it's well below zero, how do you survive that? 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:10.319 You might have to go to a warming shelter or 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:12.439 something like that. That's probably gonna be thousands and tens 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.839 of thousands of Americans. And at that point do we 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.640 sit up and take notice, going, oh, maybe we've got 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:19.960 to start instead of worrying about you know, the environment 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:21.880 as much, which is a concern for sure, but we 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:23.440 haven't done a lot of this stuff because the fear 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:27.480 of the planet. Well, if you're freezing to death, do 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.600 you tell yourself as you're dying, as you're freezing the death, 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:31.200 going well, at least I'm doing this or the planet? 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:33.040 No, no one is doing that. 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:35.280 And of course people will be angry because we don't 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.480 have a power lines, including the people who protested in 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:39.680 the first place, because we're kind of dumb that way. 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.800 So we need to build a baby built drill. Drill 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:44.640 is one thing, but build baby build, you know, in 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.960 a builder. So I like do with that stuff. Anyway, 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.400 hopefully your furnace works this weekend. I don't think it's 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:50.760 going to be a problem for most of us, because 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.080 we certainly have a iic events. But I'm more concerned 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.840 about the airs of the country where they're not used 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.520 to this kind. Whether I mentioned Oklahoma not having any snowplows, 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.240 imagine what ha hapens when they have ice bringing the 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:02.680 power lines down. How they're going to deal with that 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.000 because the people who go fix the power line alignment, 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:06.760 how the hell are you going to get there if 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:07.360 you got a lot of. 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.040 Ice and snow? Good question, good question. 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:12.320 We'll see how it plays out this weekend, and you know, 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:14.200 praying for those people who are in harm's way that 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.440 are facing this alumna. I don't think we are as 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.640 much under stress this this far east as they are 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:21.200 out that way. 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:22.880 For sure, South, I guess it would be too. 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:25.320 So anyway, we got news on the way in just 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.960 minute here on seven hundred WLW. You know, Jennifer did 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:32.360 say make sure you have washer fluid and you're whining. 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:34.360 Make sure your windshield white berds are good. And imagine 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:36.400 autoparts stores got a pretty good around on them today too, 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.840 as well. But yeah, you're not driving anywhere, so I 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.720 don't know if you need all that that win's your 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:44.600 washer fluid and stuff like that. But I will say, 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:47.440 if you're driving in this stuff, for someone who grew 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.920 up in snow country, a couple tips for you. One 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:51.720 of them would be yet you make sure you absolutely 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:53.560 got to see. The people who are like the I 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.520 don't know the U boat commanders and they scrape a 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:58.920 little small patch of windshield out and try to look 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.760 through that like it's a tank. Don't do that because 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:03.640 you know things are coming at you in different directions. 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:07.080 And I've seen people blow through intersections because they can't see, 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.320 and that's never any good. You want to make sure 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:11.200 you get gas. 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:11.480 Get that. 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:13.840 I cannot stress with my wife enough and she won't 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:16.840 do it. And make sure you have as much gas 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:19.080 in your tank as possible. Fill that baby up because 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.280 that adds weight over the back. And you know the 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:24.800
