Speaker 2: shared with Attorney General Andrea Campbell. Disaglio says her investigation

50
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: was side swiped on claims her office was being asked

51
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: to trust the information without verifying his icy conditions from

52
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: the overnight snowfall, which in some areas is enough to

53
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,160

00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 2: snow floorries like we're seeing right now on portions of

57
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: the western part of the state. Right now here in Boston,

58
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: it's thirty seven degrees, so well above freezing. I think

59
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: we're out of the woods here as far as this

60
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: morning is concerned. It's going to be a mild day

61
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: today with some sunshine emerging and becoming breezy once again.

62
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 2: Highs will be in the mid forties. It's going to

63
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 2: be clouding up overnight Tonight. Tomorrow is quite a different

64
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: story to round out the work week. Highs will only

65
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: be around freezing and we might see some sunshine tucked

66
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: into that. Some of the coldest are that this region

67
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,360

68
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: with high temperatures both Saturday and Sunday only in the teens.

69
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: And of course, we are watching what could potentially be

70
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: a massive winter storm. It's affecting tens of millions of

71
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: Americans from the Deep South all the way up through

72
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: the Northeast. And depending on the track of this storm,

73
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: we could get dumped on or we could see at

74
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: the minimum about six inches. That seems to be the

75
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: indication right around now. The WBCs Storm Center will be

76
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,000
