Speaker 4: the inner circle of Punk Satani Phil to rouse him

51
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 4: from his slumber. More than one hundred and thirty years

52
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 4: of relying on a groundhog to predict an early spring

53
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 4: or six more weeks of winter, depending on whether he

54
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 4: sees his shadow, only thirty five percent of the time

55
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,880

65
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: flamingos saw its shadow. That's according to Mayer Dean Mazzarella

66
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: declaring an early spring and on Nantucket, in a tradition

67
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,839
Speaker 2: that goes back to the nineteen eighties, Quentin the cohogs

68
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: squirted to the right, meaning in early spring and for

69
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: the rest of the afternoon, we will have plenty of

70
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: sun out there for all the animal and other kind

71
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: of prognosticators to do their thing. On this Groundhog Day.

72
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: We are looking at temperatures right now in the twenties

73
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: from most of us. We are going to be getting

74
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: up to about the low thirties for a high, which

75
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: seems relatively mild for this time of year around here,

76
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: at least lately with all this arctic air. We do

77
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: have a coastal flood advisory up through two o'clock this afternoon,

78
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: but as the nor'easter that we had to deal with

79
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: yesterday makes its way further and further away, that will

80
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 2: start to be less of an issue. Four tonight, clear

81
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 2: low just about twelve in Boston. Zero if you're north

82
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 2: and west then for Tomorrow, plenty of sun, a high

83
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: in the mid thirties. Wednesday mix of sun and clouds,

84
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: breezy at times, a high in the low thirties, then

85
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: cooling off a bit more. On Thursday, sun and clouds, breezy,

86
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: a high in the upper twenties. Looking ahead, we could

87
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: have some snow late Friday into Friday night, and then

88
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 2: we have another round of sharply cold Arctic air coming

89
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,400
