12
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 3: a neighbor who she doesn't even know all too well.

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: I would have frozen if it wasn't for her, so

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: the wind.

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,040

00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 3: and snow, her walk to the Malden Center T station

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,120

21
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,800

Speaker 4: Powell has accused the administration of threatening charges against him

51
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,480

69
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,040

00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: chilly rest of the day. We actually have an extreme

71
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: cold warning now in effect for parts of western Massachusetts

72
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,160

73
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: wind chills as low as twenty below zero out there

74
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 2: right now. Despite the sun being out, it is not

75
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 2: warming us up at all. National Weather Service says wind

76
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: chills like that could cause frostbite in on exposed skin

77
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: in as little as thirty minutes. Many of us otherwise

78
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: here closer to the coast are still dealing with wind

79
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: chills below zero down to about i'd say ten to

80
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: fifteen below zero if you're closer to four ninety five

81
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: and about five below if you're on the Capan Islands.

82
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: This is going to be a very chilly day. It

83
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: is not going to warm up much more than fifteen degrees,

84
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: and for tonight, back to the bitter cold as well,

85
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: breezy and cold low just about two in Boston, five

86
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: to ten below zero, those wind chills dipping right back

87
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: into the ten to twenty below range. For tomorrow, lots

88
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: of sun fading behind increasing clouds. We have a high

89
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,280

90
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 2: forecast is looking a little better here. It is looking

91
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 2: like it's going to stay further out to sea. That

92
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: is what we wanted to see, but unfortunately, if it

93
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: stays on this track, we're still going to see three

94
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 2: to six inches of snow on the capin islands, one

95
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,080

98
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,440
