3
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: and for the moment, it looks like some of the

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 2: snow in much of the area has come to a stop,

5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 2: at least for now, but we're not done yet. It's

6
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 2: still going to be coming down throughout the day. Fourteen

Speaker 2: Boston is getting drilled by this storm.

12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 3: We really need everyone to stay off the roads wherever

13
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 3: possible and give our crews the space to work.

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: As Boston Mayor Michelle Wous declared a state of emergency

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 2: for the city and a parking ban is an effect.

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 2: Close to two feet of snow expected when this is

17
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: all said and done.

18
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: Your most reliable news source for severe weather coverage is

21
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,920

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: the winter storm morning remains in effect until eight o'clock tonight.

23
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: Most flights are affected at Logan Airport today. In fact,

24
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: to the website, it says you might want to check

25
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: with your airlines before you make the trip to the airport.

26
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: Much of the MBTA is running on a storm schedule,

27
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 2: as you can imagine this morning, and the roadways are

28
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: also snow covered despite the yeoman work of plow drivers overnight.

29
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: Let's check in north of Boston.

30
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: First thing you really noticed in a storm like this

31
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 3: is it is the little things in your life as

32
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: you start your day that's gonna mess you up.

33
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 4: Here.

34
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 3: You know, the stairs that are packed with snow. It's

35
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 3: the fence door that you can't really open because there's

36
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: so much snow. And the dog that turns around and

37
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 3: doesn't want to use the bathroom. Okay, this is a

38
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 3: little taste of my morning. The roads snow covered, obviously,

39
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: but it's been packed down.

40
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 5: Now.

41
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: What I will say is again they're asking people to

42
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 3: stay off the roads for reasons just like this. Right

43
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: I'm driving under and overpass right before I got on

44
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 3: Root one. So this is one twenty eight to Root

45
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: one on one twenty eight I drive under an overpass

46
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 3: and there was a plow above me moving some snow,

47
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: and all that snow came cascading down and hit my

48
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: windshield pretty hard. It was a lot of snow, to

49
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 3: the point where I actually pulled over and, you know,

50
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 3: just kind of checked out the car and made sure

51
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 3: the windshield was still intact. But it's the reasons like

52
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 3: that why people are telling you to stay off the

53
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 3: roads and let the plow crews do their work. Things

54
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: look a little different with all this snow. I missed

55
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 3: one of my exits that I use every morning because

56
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 3: it just looked a whole lot different. So it's stuff

57
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 3: like that today, and it's gonna mess with your day.

58
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: From Peabody, Drew mohalland WBZ, Boston's news radio.

59
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: Not as snowy in Denver, but snowy enough to make

60
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: the Patriots feel right at home.

61
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 6: Taken off his me Drake me to the in zone,

62
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 6: put the New England touchdown and the.

63
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 2: Call on CBS the only Patriots touchdown of the game.

64
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: The Pats do beat the Denver Broncos. They are now

65
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 2: off to Super Bowl sixty. Good stuff.

66
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 7: Sometimes you gotta believe things before you can see.

67
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: Okay, you got to believe them before you can see them.

68
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 6: And from the time that we started, you.

69
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 4: Did everything that we asked you to do.

70
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: Gotta believe Coach Mike vrabel a happy man and Santa Clara.

71
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: Here we come, just outside San Francisco, the Seattle Seahawks away.

72
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: Do we all know what happened the last time the

73
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 2: Patriots played the Seahawks in the Super Bowl? Could lightning

74
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: strike twice? We'll find out in less than two weeks.

75
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: Gonna tell you. I'm checking out these traffic cameras and

76
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: it looks like this lull in the snow has created

77
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: an opportunity to get down to some bare pavement or

78
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: at least right so they're making some progress out there.

79
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 7: Absolutely, I saw them out there this morning. But again,

80
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 7: you don't want to crowd the plow.

81
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: No, stay away, And that's good. That's good planning, not

82
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: only for you, but for the plows as well, because

83
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: they're doing great work in the overnight hours when nobody's

84
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: on the road. That's what they like to see. And

85
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: this morning they're still out there. They'll be out there

86
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: for several more hours. Looks like we're going to have

87
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: another two or three inches of accumulation by the time

88
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: this situation is done. A winter storm Morning remains in

89
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: effect until eight o'clock tonight, and when all is said

90
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: and done, it is expected that we will see up

91
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: to two feet of snow. The jackpot is likely to

92
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: be right here in Greater Boston, lesser totals out in

93
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 2: the Metro West area and certainly on the Capan Islands

94
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: where it's a wet snow And this.

95
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 7: Is really the biggest snowfall we've had in four years.

96
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: Yes, it's we're out of practice, it's exactly.

97
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: So.

98
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a sleepless night for a lot of

99
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: people who There are a few people, probably more than

100
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 2: you'd think, that actually need to go to work today. Doctors,

101
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: you know, convenience store workers, news anchors.

102
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 7: That's right. There are some vehicles that are are not

103
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 7: permitted to be on the roads right now until noontime today.

104
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 7: Vehicles like box trucks, you know, tractor trailers, tandem vehicles

105
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 7: all you know, ones like that. But if you are

106
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 7: a delivery of medicine and you know, you definitely can

107
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 7: go through and be on the roads this morning.

108
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a dangerous place to be, but most of

109
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 2: us you got nowhere to go. Snow continues to come

110
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: down at a decent clip in some areas this morning,

111
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: and we'll see this throughout the day. Today. We're on

112
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: the roads this morning, so you don't have to.

113
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 6: Be snow, snow and more snow. It's been a constant

114
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 6: battle at snowpow drivers try and making streets more manageable.

115
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 5: It's been NonStop snow coming down. It's two inches an hour,

116
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 5: so just keep going around in circles.

117
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 6: That's scary. From Tewksbury. When I caught up with him

118
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 6: in a Lowell he had been working for over fifteen

119
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 6: hours and he wasn't done yet.

120
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 5: At least we've got a little bit of a break now,

121
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 5: it's a lat up a little bit, but we just

122
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 5: keep working. That's our job, and so we just keep going.

123
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: There's a lot of.

124
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 6: Clean up to be done in Lowell. James Rojas w

125
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 6: b Z Boston some news radio.

126
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: And we've been told this morning that this snowstorm will

127
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: be on the test. Here's wbz's Matt Phipps.

128
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 4: Much of the snow and much of the area is

129
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 4: light and fluffy. The cold air will play a factor

130
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 4: in snow totals and overall weight to the mountains we

131
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 4: need to move. Follow me now, an inch of water

132
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 4: roughly translates to ten inches of snow, but because it's

133
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 4: so dry, there's not a lot of liquid in the

134
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 4: snow for many of us, which means it's easier to move.

135
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 4: But the water to snow ratio is much higher than

136
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 4: one to ten, which is why we're seeing many cities

137
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 4: and towns with at least twenty inches of snow. Matt Phipps,

138
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 4: WBZ Boston's News Radio, I was told.

139
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: There would be no math. I knew it would be

140
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 2: on the test, but I didn't think there'd be any math.

141
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: You are now in the loop for news updates throughout
