59
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,280

Speaker 2: weather pattern that we are about to enter, and that

63
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,280

Speaker 2: the next seven days, the first of which will come

65

66
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: could be a couple of inches of snow in a

67
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 2: widespread area, primarily just outside Boston to the Metro West

68
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: region along the shoreline. It looks like a coating to

69
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: two inches of snow. Then after that, another round of

70
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: snow moves in Friday into Saturday, and what could be

71
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,400

00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,880

74
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: this morning, it's relatively calm and quiet. We do have

75
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,400

78
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,240

79
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,640

80
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,320

83
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 3: on school vacation. They say the best way to tell

84
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 3: is to actually cut through ice with a chisel or

85
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: auger and have at least four inches of clear blue ice.

86
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 3: Most importantly, never go out on ice alone, and to

87
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 3: have a life jacket or preserver on hand. Already, there
