I mean, 29 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 3: look at the end day, we are dealing with people 30 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 3: over there that have spent most of their lives living 31 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 3: in a gangster paradise.

You know when you dig out 42 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: all the snow from your driveway, then the plow comes 43 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: by plops more snow in the driveway. Well, as bad 44 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: as that is, what if there was another snowstorm and 45 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: it plopped more snow everywhere? It could happen it has before. 46 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 4: If you were a child in the winter of twenty fifteen, 47 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 4: you probably remember not going to school on Monday for 48 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 4: a month. If you were an adult, the ice dams 49 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 4: and backbreaking shoveling probably made more of an impression and 50 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 4: not to be the bearer of bad news. 51 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 5: So what we're in right now is not dissimilar to 52 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 5: what we saw in twenty fifteen. 53 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 4: It's a big what we call a negative EPO that 54 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 4: CBS News Boston's chief mediaorologist. 55 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: Eric Fisher. 56 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 4: He says, the pattern for the foreseeable future is indeed 57 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 4: looking similar to Snowmageddon, but that doesn't necessarily mean a 58 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 4: repeat performance. 59 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,399 Speaker 5: So we're gonna have very consistent, constant cold, the most 60 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 5: we've seen since twenty fifteen.
