I'm here broadcasting from eight to midnight 8 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 3: Monday through Friday. Before I begin tonight, we have lined 9 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 3: up a group of special guests. 10 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 2: But I want to do a. 11 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 3: Shout out to a young man who's listening tonight, maybe 12 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 3: for the first time, he's all excited about the snowstorm. 13 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 3: My favorite grandson, my very favorite grandson, Benjamin Lawrence Ray. 14 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 3: He's listening up in Beverly with his other grandparents, Chief 15 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 3: and Nana. He's going to be four later on this year, 16 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 3: and I will tell you he's going to be something else. 17 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 3: There's no doubt about that. I just hope that he's listening, 18 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 3: and who knows, maybe it will plant the seed where 19 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 3: he'll become a talk show host or a television reporter 20 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 3: someday going forward. Just a simple point of personal privilege. 21 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 3: That's all, as you can tell on a Sunday night, 22 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 3: particularly in the middle of a snowstorm, and I don't 23 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 3: think we can call this a blizzard yet. But I 24 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 3: have two people with me who know a heck of 25 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 3: a lot more about meteorology than I do. They're a 26 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 3: great couple, Danielle and Matt Noyes. You know both of 27 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 3: them as broadcast professionals here in Boston. Danielle and Matt 28 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 3: have both been on the airways. They now run a program. 29 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 3: Not only have they gotten married, but they have a partnership. 30 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 3: Not only as in as a married couple, but they 31 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,479 Speaker 3: also do a lot of charitable work that I'm familiar with. 32 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 3: And they also have a great private program called one 33 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 3: Degree Outside. Well, in some places today it was one 34 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 3: degree outside. Danielle and Matt Noyes, Welcome to Night's Side, 35 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 3: a special edition.

I guess I don't both of 38 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 3: you give us a little bit of a report here 39 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 3: as to where we stand at we in the middle 40 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 3: of this is this thing starting to wind down? 41 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,559 Speaker 2: What do you see? What don't you see? 42 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 5: You know, it's a great question, Dan, and yes, what 43 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 5: everybody's been asking is when does it get stop? 44 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 6: It's funny because before it starts, everybody asks, of course, 45 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 6: jes starts, everybody asks, when's a good stop? 46 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, No, Well we're curious people here you I'll 47 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 3: tell you. 48 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 2: All of you hit all of you hit this one 49 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 2: pretty on the money. 50 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 3: When it was going to start, everybody said late Sunday morning, 51 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 3: and voila. It's been snowing now for at least nine 52 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 3: hours in eastern Massachusetts. Has it lived up in your 53 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 3: mind to expect the expectations that you have or is 54 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 3: it had or is it living up to those expectations? 55 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 7: I think so far, Dan, we've had some reports of 56 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 7: twelve thirteen and a half fifteen inches of snow already 57 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 7: in much of the base state that's come down. It's 58 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 7: it's a fluffier consistency for most of us, although at 59 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 7: the coastline we've had a coastal front that's set up 60 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 7: so the temperatures are actually in the twenties now for 61 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 7: Boston back down to Cape Cause, so it's a bit 62 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 7: of a wetter consistency there, even though it started really 63 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 7: fluffy in those spots, and for the past several hours 64 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 7: it's been one to three inches per hour. We have 65 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 7: reports of thunder snow earlier, So this is we're in 66 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 7: the heart of it right now. 67 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, And the answer your question is when it's going 68 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 6: to stop and how close we are to the end. 69 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 6: But it's gonna step back and noticeably intensity between midnight 70 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 6: and one am. And that's when we dropped from between 71 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 6: one and three inch per hours. 72 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 2: Man, I gotta get you closer to that microphone. 73 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 6: I was just saying that, you know, it's going to 74 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 6: step back noticeably in intensity between one and midnight and 75 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 6: one am, and then after that it's a lighter snow, 76 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 6: but it still snows probably about a half inch per 77 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 6: hour during the first part of the night, and then 78 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 6: it's pretty light for a little while tomorrow morning. But 79 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 6: there's another kind of last gasp that comes through tomorrow evening. 80 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 6: So this thing's not totally done until probably about eight 81 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 6: or nine o'clock tomorrow evening. It's just that the worst 82 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 6: of it is over at about one o'clock this morning 83 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 6: overnight tonight. 84 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 3: So when do you think that the the snow depth expectations, 85 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: which obviously have to be generalizations. I mean, no one 86 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 3: and we'll see different communities, But do you think this 87 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 3: is going to be the twelve to eighteen inch predictions 88 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 3: that a lot of the meteorologists, I don't know exactly 89 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 3: what your predictions were on it. You can, you can 90 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 3: take a victory lap if you want, go right ahead. 91 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 6: Well thanks to the opportunity. But yeah, no, this will 92 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 6: this will turn out exactly where it's supposed to be. 93 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 6: I mean, you know, we were thinking twelve to eighteen 94 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 6: for a large spats of the area, but that some 95 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 6: spots will go eighteen to twenty four, and that there'd 96 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 6: be some spots that may even locally go. 97 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 8: A little bit higher. 98 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 6: Now what's interesting, Dan, is that we can get up 99 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 6: along the four ninety five builts, and I know you 100 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 6: have a lot of folks that listen from Wall to 101 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 6: Lawrence to Habral to Amesbury. Up there along four ninety five, 102 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 6: we actually may get another nine inches or so on 103 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 6: top of what's already there. And a lot of those 104 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,239 Speaker 6: folks already have foot So I mean, now you're starting 105 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 6: to cross, you know, twenty twenty one inches, and then 106 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 6: you may a little bit more during the course of 107 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 6: the day tomorrow. So that's been some photomber ten feet 108 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 6: by the time all is said and done. 109 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 3: So that's north of four ninety five up along the 110 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 3: New Hampshire border, and I assume into New Hampshire. 111 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 6: North end of four ninety five. So we didn't think 112 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 6: the police is now Age Williamsbury West Newbury, Okay, involved 113 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 6: in that. And we've also seen, as Danielle mentioned, that 114 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 6: coastal front coming in off the ocean. 115 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 9: What that means is. 116 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 6: The temperatures have driven up into the twenties along the 117 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,799 Speaker 6: south shore in Boston, the twenties. What's amazing. 118 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 10: You're ready for this? 119 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 6: Canton or Random? 120 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 8: What's that? 121 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 6: Maybe about a three minute four minute drive, right, you're right, 122 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 6: So Canton is running about fourteen degrees. Random's running twenty four. 123 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 6: You've been a ten degree difference across town lines. It's 124 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 6: been with us here this evening. 125 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 3: Okay, last question, speaking of temperatures, what's the projection for 126 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 3: later this week. I know that people are going to 127 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 3: want to try to get out and about, if not tomorrow, 128 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 3: certainly by Tuesday. They want to get back into the 129 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 3: swing of things. But as I to stand that we're 130 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 3: not going to likely see much above freezing for the balance. 131 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 2: Of the week. 132 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 4: No, we will not go above freezing. 133 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 11: Dan. 134 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 4: So in fact, as early as tomorrow afternoon. The windshill 135 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 4: is going to go sub zero places like the Worcester Hills, 136 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 4: and then it drops adder below zero for Boston all 137 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 4: the way back down to the Cape tomorrow night. Then 138 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 4: the windshill doesn't get out of the single digits on Tuesday, 139 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 4: highs will be in the twenties through the end of 140 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 4: the week. So this now is going nowhere and the 141 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 4: Arctic blast comes right back and behind this storm. 142 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 3: That's that's not all that encouraging. But you know, the 143 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 3: Red Sox truck, the equipment truck does leave on February second, 144 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 3: which I think is a week from Tuesday, So there's 145 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 3: hope always springs the ternal how's one degree outside doing? What? 146 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 3: Let me give you an opportunity to give it a plug. 147 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 3: How can folks get in touch with if they want 148 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 3: to learn about the project? 149 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 6: Oh, you're very kind to do that, and thank you 150 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 6: for the It's like bottom line is it's doing great 151 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 6: because New England as are ready for this, you know, 152 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 6: as you know Dan, we decided it was time to 153 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 6: go digital first, right folks. For time to sitting around 154 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 6: and waiting to see the weather when it came on 155 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 6: or what have you, so you know, the best way 156 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 6: to find this is the app. It's totally free. It's 157 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 6: in the app store, Google Plan. I think last time 158 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 6: we talked to you we might even just coming out 159 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 6: with the app, but it's it's out, it's doing great, 160 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 6: and there's tens of thousands of Bostonians who downloaded and 161 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 6: are enjoying.

I'm sure you're more used to working 208 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 3: odd hours than I am. I'm Monday through Friday eight 209 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 3: to midnight. What's going on around the state, I mean, 210 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 3: your folks, I'm sure have been able to give a 211 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 3: lot of information to you on road conditions. Have we 212 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 3: avoided some of the accidents that we saw in the 213 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 3: last couple of days out in the Midwest and down south? 214 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 3: Are we doing so far in terms of safety road safety? 215 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 11: Yeah, certainly I can report overall this has been a 216 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 11: very positive experience thus far from our perspective, particularly speaking 217 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 11: on behalf of the interstate highways where obviously our troopers 218 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 11: are out primarily patrolling. We've had We've got it we 219 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 11: have had certainly a high number of spinouts and disabled vehicles. 220 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 11: We have had about one hundred and fifty motor vehicle 221 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 11: crashes that we've responded to, but thankfully none of them 222 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 11: have been serious. Those numbers comparatively are down at this point, 223 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 11: so I'm cautiously optimistic that our preparation are planning. And 224 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 11: really the most important thing is the folks kind of cooperating, 225 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 11: just staying off the roads and letting our dot trucks 226 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 11: in our public work trucks do their job. So far 227 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 11: seems to have been working. So so far, we are 228 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 11: cautiously optimistic that things are going better than we've seen before. 229 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 3: Well, it seems as if a lot of businesses are 230 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 3: announcing that they have closed tomorrow, and I know school 231 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 3: systems have closed, because this really was across the state, 232 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 3: as you folks think of it, from Lee, Massachusetts all 233 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 3: the way back to uh, you know, uh, you know Boston. 234 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 3: Is that going to be helpful? Do you think when 235 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 3: people are able to stay home? I hope most people, 236 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 3: whether they're again school teachers or business people or uh 237 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 3: the only people have to go to work are there 238 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 3: the police and fire and at the emery emergency personnel 239 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 3: is that as you understand it, Yes. 240 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 11: We would certainly we would certainly uh reiterate that fact 241 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,719 Speaker 11: that if if you don't need to be on the 242 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 11: road tomorrow, uh, even if the snow has stopped, we 243 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 11: are asking people to really stay off the roads and 244 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 11: let the let the trucks and all the crews have 245 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 11: time to then continue to make sure that there that 246 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 11: the roads are clear, they're they're salted, you know where 247 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 11: there's where they are needed. And and you know clearly 248 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 11: this storm is not over yet. Where we are going 249 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 11: to continue to track the storm through the night tonight, 250 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 11: there will certainly be patches of dangerous conditions and icing conditions. 251 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 11: So until we really get our trucks and and give 252 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 11: our workers the time and the space to be out there, 253 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 11: really travels should be limited. And we certainly are asking 254 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 11: anybody that is not eseexul to stay off the road 255 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 11: base and that does include tomorrow too. 256 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 3: Just the last question or two you might have heard 257 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 3: me allude to the loss of this woman's life at 258 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 3: an MBTA. 259 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 8: Uh. 260 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 2: Nor would central parking. 261 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 3: Lot that might you may be aware of it or not. 262 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 3: I know that the Norfolk County DA's office which would 263 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 3: include I assume state police officers assigned are investigating. Is 264 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 3: there any update on that accident? We know the woman 265 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 3: in this case, there was a couple, a married couple, 266 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 3: walking in the parking lot, and I guess she was 267 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 3: pronounced dead deceased at the time. Is there any update 268 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 3: that you have on that or has that even made 269 00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 3: its way up to you. 270 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 11: To you yet, no, I have been briefed on it, 271 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 11: but it's too soon for me to release any additional 272 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 11: information other than the fact that we are assisting the 273 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 11: m vt A police and our and our investigators who 274 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 11: are assigned the DA's officer certainly working through it. But 275 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 11: so far, like I believe you mentioned earlier, the involved parties, 276 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 11: everybody appears to be cooperating, so the investigators are in 277 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 11: the fact finding stage. So a little too soon for 278 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 11: me to speculate. Let's let's see where the facts of 279 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 11: the case.

And I start out there on Route one. 498 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 10: If you don't have to drive, you shouldn't even be 499 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 10: out in There was a lot of traffic right after 500 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 10: the Patriots game ended tonight, Dan, on the highway. 501 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 3: I'm not surprised, yo, I I I almost I mentioned 502 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 3: that someone to night that when the game ended around 503 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 3: six or six thirty and all the festivities were over, 504 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 3: that there'd be a lot of people heading home. 505 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 10: Yes, there was quite a bit of you know traffic 506 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 10: during that for maybe about an hour or so after 507 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 10: the game broke, And that's probably what slowed down these 508 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 10: fog drivings though out there on the highway trying to 509 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 10: get these highways clear. And you know, don't prod of 510 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 10: the plows. Stay behind the plow. They're clearing the roads 511 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 10: for you to drive behind them, not to go in 512 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 10: front of them. The roads in front of them ain't 513 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 10: even plowed. You better off stand behind the plows and 514 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 10: you have a claar path behind you. 515 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 2: How how are the roads at this point? 516 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 3: Obviously we're a little more than halfway through the snowfall. 517 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 3: Is what I understand that it could go up until 518 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 3: sometime tomorrow morning. Is this snow easily plowable snow or 519 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 3: you know, because everybody's saying it's lighter and fluffier, and 520 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 3: I assume if it's lighter and fluffier for people to 521 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 3: clear their walks, is it Is it correct for me 522 00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 3: to assume that that's the type of snow that you'd prefer. 523 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,959 Speaker 2: The plow is supposed to the heavy wet stuff. 524 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,640 Speaker 10: Oh Dan, if this was a heavy wet snow will 525 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 10: be in tro he wouldn't be able to keep up 526 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 10: with the hit about the amount of snow and the 527 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 10: way of the snow. The snow is very light. It's 528 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,959 Speaker 10: blowing around. You clear a path, you turn around, you 529 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 10: come back, it's snow covered over again. I would say 530 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 10: the main street's probably going about maybe into two of 531 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 10: snow always on constantly, and the files are trying to 532 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 10: keep up with it. 533 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 3: Well, look, I really appreciate Bob you're checking in.

You know, the 557 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 10: people gotta be careful on the ramps when they. 558 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 6: Act in the highway. 559 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 10: My other question to you, Dan, is their guidelines there 560 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 10: a state of emergency because with all this amount of snow, 561 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 10: I figured if you clear the state of emergency, you 562 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 10: would be entitled to fund of federal funding that would 563 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 10: help pay the costs for the state and the cities 564 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 10: to instead of them paying out of their pocket for 565 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 10: this cost of the storm, which is gonna cost you know, 566 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 10: millions and millions of dollars. 567 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that there are guidelines. I don't know 568 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,719 Speaker 3: offhand what they are. I do know that, for example, 569 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 3: the DCR is now telling us that there's a group 570 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 3: of roadways Department of Transportation Roadways which falls under the 571 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 3: Department of Conservation and Recreation, and it's you know, Middlesex 572 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 3: Abb and Medford Route sixteen and Medford Morton Street in Boston, 573 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 3: Gallupan Boulevard in Boston, Columbia Road in Dorchester, Charles River 574 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 3: Dam Road in Boston, O'Brien Highway, and Cambridge McGrath Highway 575 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 3: and some of them which are really sort of like, 576 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 3: if not the main arteries, they're the second main arteries. 577 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 2: And those those roads no. 578 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,239 Speaker 3: Parking on either side, So anybody who lives in that 579 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 3: area and figures they can park, don't do it. They 580 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 3: sent out an advisory late tonight, so the parking bands 581 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 3: are in effect on both sides of the DCR parkways. 582 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 3: The problem, I think is that the federal government doesn't 583 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 3: basically reimburse cities and towns for their expenditures for every snowstorm. 584 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 3: I'm sure that there has to be some sort of 585 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 3: a state of emergency declared by the governor, which then 586 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 3: in turn would be recognized by the federal government, and 587 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 3: I'm sure that there's a lot of paperwork and all 588 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 3: of that. There's always money put away, as you know, 589 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 3: for plowing in cities and towns and on major state 590 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 3: state highways, and the last few years there hasn't been 591 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 3: a lot of plowing, and so what happens is those 592 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 3: budgets get reduced every year, and then when we get 593 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 3: hit with something big like this, they'll have to do 594 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 3: supplemental budgets. It gets into it really gets into the 595 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 3: weeds a lot, but I hope you pick up on 596 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 3: what I'm telling you that then it's not the feds 597 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 3: wind paper as little as they can, and obviously the 598 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 3: state and the cities would love to have them pay 599 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 3: as much as possible. We'll just leave it like that. Hey, Bob, 600 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 3: thanks for your time.

So my question is this. Unfortunately, 623 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 3: we got our selves disconnected there. So let's let's talk 624 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 3: about what is exactly what you do. You provide testing 625 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:13,959 Speaker 3: equipment for the utilities which helps them stay in operation 626 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 3: and provide the power, the electricity, the gas, whatever we 627 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 3: need to survive in these cold New England winters. You 628 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 3: you started to tell us that the company has been 629 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 3: one hundred been around for one hundred years. 630 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 2: Let's bring it up up to date. 631 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 3: You told me that you were going to tell us 632 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 3: what was the first invention that your company came up with, 633 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 3: long before you were there, and what does it evolved 634 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 3: to today. 635 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 5: So the initial the initial project that was designed, believe 636 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 5: it or not, one would call one of the original 637 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 5: mobile telephones. And Frank Dobel had actually invented a product 638 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 5: where you could connect telephone like a telephone receiver to 639 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 5: a high tension power line and you could put a 640 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 5: miles apart and you could have atually talk to each other. 641 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 5: What they found out was as equipment around the substation 642 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 5: started failing, they noticed that the telephone signal started getting 643 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 5: worse and started you could hear less and less. Then 644 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 5: they had an idea of, well, why don't we just 645 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 5: get out of the telephone business and get into the 646 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 5: business of testing high tension lines and transformers and substations. 647 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 5: So what started as what we argue is the first 648 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 5: mobile telephone has turned into a global supplier of equipment 649 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 5: that are primarily used to ensure asset health of all the. 650 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 8: Components of a substation. 651 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 5: So you know, what started as a as a one 652 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 5: sold product has turned into a company, as you said, 653 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 5: has been around for one hundred years, broad product offering 654 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 5: and we are global around the world. 655 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 3: Wow, and you deal with all of these companies that 656 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 3: all of us know here in Massachusetts, I assume Ever 657 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 3: source in National Grid and all the companies that have 658 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 3: become very failure with all of us paying our bills 659 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 3: every month. 660 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 5: Yes, absolutely, Ever source in National Grid, very large customers 661 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 5: of ours as well as a lot of large utilities 662 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 5: that you see around around the US and around the 663 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 5: world as well. 664 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 3: And then based upon what you know, and I'm sure 665 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 3: you have a sense of this storm, do you think 666 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 3: that that the equipment that exists, particularly here in New 667 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 3: England that you might you know, keep track of. Are 668 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 3: we going to be able to get things back up 669 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 3: and running within a day or two or could it 670 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 3: be a little longer this time? 671 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 8: It really depends on what the failure mode is. 672 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 5: If it's if it's a regular wire, high tension line, 673 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 5: or even a wire that you have going up to 674 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 5: your house, if if that breaks because of a tree 675 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 5: branch falling on it, or granted we're not having heavy 676 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 5: snow in this in this storm, but heavy snow or 677 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 5: free branches can cause a wire to fall, then yes, 678 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 5: that's really up to you know, the utility company to how. 679 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 8: Quickly they can stage and bring equipment. 680 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 5: And one of the challenges right now is because the 681 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 5: storm that we're in is so broad, I mean, you know, 682 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 5: from from i'll say Texas all the way up through 683 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 5: through New England. The failures of down lines we can't 684 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 5: pull from other utility companies. 685 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 8: In other states because they're all pretty busy. 686 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 5: Right now healing with their own their own issues. I 687 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 5: know'll just be major outages in Tennessee, for example. So 688 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 5: if we had severe power outages around this area, which 689 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 5: I don't foresee. 690 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 8: It might take a. 691 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 5: Little longer than normal because we don't have extra cruise 692 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 5: floating around to really help get the power back up again. 693 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a really good observation because I can remember 694 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 3: in my days as a reporter when there really was 695 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 3: oftentimes a hurricane would do more damage. Although it was 696 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 3: a big snowstorm like this, and I'm not even sure 697 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,359 Speaker 3: if it's technically a blizzard. I think I'm not sure 698 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 3: if the wind have been. 699 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,280 Speaker 2: Enough to make it a blizzard. 700 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 3: But the point is that you'd see trucks coming in 701 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 3: here from places like New York and Pennsylvany and Maryland, 702 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,720 Speaker 3: and I assume the reverse was true. But this storm 703 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 3: really has affected so many communities. Well, look, thank you 704 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 3: for joining us tonight, Matt and talking a little bit 705 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 3: about Doble engineering.

It's great to know 707 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 3: that there is a company. You're a Massachusetts company. I 708 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 3: know you have people around the world, but you still 709 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 3: think of yourself as a Massachusetts company as I understand it. 710 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 5: Yeah, we're headquartered in Marlborough, originally started out in Watertown, 711 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 5: and those are the only two sites really that the 712 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 5: organization has been through wealth the whole entire hundred years. 713 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 3: Sounds great, well, Matt, thank you very much, and I 714 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 3: hope you and your stay safe.

Teach 716 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 3: them what it's like to do a little bit of 717 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 3: work and put a few dollars in their pocket. That's 718 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 3: going to be my advocacy to everyone. 719 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 8: Okay, No, that's great. I appreciate it.
