WEBVTT - Historic Blizzard UPDATE: More Than 2 Feet and Counting 

0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, everybody.

0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to a snowy Monday, February twenty third, this episode

0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:12.280
<v Speaker 2>of Amy and DJ. Yeah, we are snowed in, stuck indoors,

0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:15.440
<v Speaker 2>and it looks treacherous outside.

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I heard one person say.

0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:20.680
<v Speaker 2>It looks like a fairy tale getting out and around

0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:25.919
<v Speaker 2>and certainly anywhere outside of this area is a nightmare.

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:28.240
<v Speaker 2>And Babe, when's the last time you've been outside?

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:32.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I haven't been out yet today, just

0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 3>on the balconies and whatnot. But I want to go out. Look,

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:37.279
<v Speaker 3>this is Yes, you can look at it that way,

0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 3>and if you have to be out, it is awful.

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:41.199
<v Speaker 3>But man, it's a They haven't seen something like this

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 3>in ten years in the city. It is gorgeous. It

0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 3>causes some problems if you have to be out, but man,

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:49.959
<v Speaker 3>let's take a minute and recognize it is absolutely gorgeous

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 3>and probably something in life. Really, my entire life, I've

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 3>rarely seen an event like this.

0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, have you been getting I've been getting texts from

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 2>all my family in the South, even my daughter in Brooklyn.

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 2>We're comparing notes as to who's got it worse. I

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 2>know you were on the phone with the Bean this

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 2>morning but have you been hearing from people? People are

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.959
<v Speaker 2>fascinated by this much snow. We've ethan seen tourists on

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 2>local TV excited from nice south of France to be

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:16.959
<v Speaker 2>here and experience this.

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.240
<v Speaker 3>Not one family, friends don't care. I ain't heard from

0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:23.760
<v Speaker 3>a single person checking out, not seriously, not one person

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.040
<v Speaker 3>has reached out and say, hey, how are you guys

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 3>doing now? I'm not upset, don't get me wrong. Then

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 3>they have some tornadic activity hewn in the south, I

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 3>oftentimes don't reach out. So this is just our family done.

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Now. Well, look, this is something that people are either

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 2>worried about their family or kind of jealous that you're

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 2>experiencing this and we are not.

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 1>It is really truly, as.

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 2>The meteorologists are putting it, a once in a decade

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 2>kind of a storm. Look, initially they were telling us

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 2>who might get a couple of inches. Then they went

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 2>to twelve or eighteen inches here in New York City.

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 2>But already have you seen some of these totals, They're

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 2>pretty impressive. Southam In, out of the Hamptons already has

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty four inches of snow. One of the areas on

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Long Islands at twenty seven and a half inches and counting.

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we're not even close to being done with

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:10.959
<v Speaker 2>this yet.

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 3>All they sold this. This is going to wrap up in

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 3>the next several hours, but it's going to linger for

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 3>a long time at least. The problem is it's going

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 3>to cause because of airlines getting back up and going.

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 3>The airports or I mean the ones here in New

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 3>York A essentially shut down right now. And I think

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 3>what the weather is not necessarily going to the temper

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:29.680
<v Speaker 3>is not going to rise to a point where this

0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:31.920
<v Speaker 3>is all going to go away, no anytime soon.

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 2>It certainly is an in fact right now, let's see,

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 2>it is thirty two degrees exactly, but it feels like eleven,

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 2>and that is exactly the point of a blizzard.

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>You've got crazy, crazy winds out there. I did.

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 2>I've had to walk the dog twice now since this

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 2>storm began. And last night it was kind of fun.

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 2>This morning it was painful. We're talking thirty five, forty,

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 2>even sixty mile.

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Per hour wind gusts.

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 2>I saw Montalk, which is such a favorite place for

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 2>so many people to go summer there had a win

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 2>gus of more than eighty miles per hour. So yes,

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.239
<v Speaker 2>it's painful to be outside. It's dangerous to be outside,

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 2>and that's why schools are closed. It's very rare to

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 2>have schools closed in New York, and especially when they

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 2>don't even have to have a learning day. They just

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 2>get to have a free day on a day like

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>this because they just it's just that bad.

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:24.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, kids have been out of school for a week

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.040
<v Speaker 3>and a half plus at this point because winter break

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:28.519
<v Speaker 3>was for the folks up here in the Northeast. So

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 3>today was supposed to be their first day back from

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 3>last week being off and they got an extra day.

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 3>And look, I give them, you know, we wanted to

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 3>give the Momdani administration credit, but I don't know if

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 3>they just couldn't get it together quickly enough because the

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 3>kids weren't in school. Usually we know something's coming and

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 3>they can give the kids to heads up the day before,

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 3>Hey we're going to move to online instruction. But they

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 3>were out all week, so they couldn't scramble and get

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 3>it together. So this is really rare in New York

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 3>to get a snow day after the pandemic, like a

0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 3>true snow day. Usually they're online in their rooms and

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 3>they hate it. They complain the whole time.

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I was actually listening.

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 2>You had Sabine on speaker when you told her she

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 2>didn't have to go to school. She was genuinely excited,

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 2>because yes, that doesn't happen already. New York City schools

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 2>are in school until basically the fourth of July as

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>it is, so they don't want to extend the school

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 2>You're only in extreme circumstances, and this certainly is one.

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 2>So we had a travel band here in New York City,

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 2>but in surrounding areas they've extended it beyond that noon

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 2>travel band deadline that they had given it. Now it's

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:31.839
<v Speaker 2>four pm in most of New Jersey Westchester, and when

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:35.479
<v Speaker 2>I look outside, the only people icee outside are either

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:39.280
<v Speaker 2>people who are working clearing the streets or people walking

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:43.160
<v Speaker 2>their dogs. But on the news, the local news we've

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.039
<v Speaker 2>been watching, I've even seen people cross country skiing, like

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 2>maybe the Olympics inspired them, But clearly that is the

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:49.919
<v Speaker 2>easiest way to get around.

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 3>The city right now, So it's easy. It's in that regard.

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.839
<v Speaker 3>I mean folks, plenty of folks in this city got skis,

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 3>they got snowboards, and they know every time they have

0:04:58.279 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 3>to pack up they have to go drive a couple

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 3>hours away and have to pay for a pass and

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 3>you can walk outside throw your skis on. That's kind

0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:08.040
<v Speaker 3>of cool. So I guess, yes, it is hell. It's

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 3>going to cause people problems, pain, and oftentimes we even

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 3>see I mean injuries and unfortunately deaths associated with it.

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 3>Hopefully I haven't seen anything yet.

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 2>No, the only headline I saw. Look, it looks as

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 2>though folks are heating the warning. And truly, when you

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 2>look outside, nobody wants to go out on this. Maybe

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.240
<v Speaker 2>for a little bit to say you did to get

0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 2>a few selfies or a few shots of yourself in

0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:34.359
<v Speaker 2>the snow.

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be honest, I did do that.

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 2>But more than twenty trees have already fallen in the

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.239
<v Speaker 2>New York area. They said five of them have fallen

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.360
<v Speaker 2>on vehicles and buildings. But so far there aren't any

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:48.159
<v Speaker 2>reports of injuries, thank goodness. But you know it's bad

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 2>in New York City when a they close the schools

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.040
<v Speaker 2>and b when you have the mayor asking New Yorkers

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:56.120
<v Speaker 2>not to order delivery or take out. This is exactly

0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:59.159
<v Speaker 2>and precisely the kind of whether people don't want to

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 2>go out in Oh, yes, they want to order in door.

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Dash suspended all services last night, So you know it's

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 2>serious when people can't get things delivered to their door.

0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 3>You can't you look outside. If you look outside and

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 3>think you're gonna get food delivered by a guy riding

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 3>a bike, you're out of your mind. So and really

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.920
<v Speaker 3>some of the they've banned. You're not supposed to have

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.719
<v Speaker 3>e bikes, bicycles, motorcycles, scooters. They've banned all that traffic.

0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 3>So it's not supposed to be out there. I assume

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 3>robe you didn't see a single person with any mode

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 3>of transportation when you were outside. But but no, of

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.599
<v Speaker 3>course you're not. We stocked up here. We got stuff.

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 3>Anybody needs something swing by. We got food, we prepared.

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.159
<v Speaker 3>We went and got sardines and bottled water. You know,

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.279
<v Speaker 3>we're those crazy people because we're from the South. We

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 3>prepare our whole livees right, something's going down. So no,

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 3>it's it is a good day to take a beat.

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:48.960
<v Speaker 3>And I don't know, I've I've had a rough morning,

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 3>but for whatever reason, I've taken in and appreciated and

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.839
<v Speaker 3>finding a positive in the snowstorm for some reason.

0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 2>No, it it is simply gorgeous it looks like something

0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 2>out of a movie. It looks like it's and it's

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.119
<v Speaker 2>just it's unending. It's been going on since it's started

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 2>snowing at noon yesterday, guys, noon on Sunday, and it

0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 2>was beautiful and I was taking pictures, and then by

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 2>the evening the winds kicked up, and now all day

0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 2>long it has just been brutal. And so we've had

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 2>flight cancelations as you might imagine, up and down the

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Eastern Seaboard. You don't even have to live in New

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 2>England or along the East Coast to be affected by

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 2>this storm.

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 1>This is crazy.

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Five thousand plus flights and counting have already been canceled

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 2>today along the Eastern Seaboard. And you gave the percentages

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:32.640
<v Speaker 2>in the morning run, and I went to go check

0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 2>they're the same. Eighty nine percent of flights at JFK canceled,

0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 2>ninety eight percent of flights at LaGuardia canceled, ninety two percent.

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Of flights in Newark canceled, ninety two percent in Boston canceled,

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 2>eighty two percent in Philly canceled.

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Bottom line, you aren't getting out of here, and.

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.120
<v Speaker 2>A lot of tourists are kind of leaning into the

0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.840
<v Speaker 2>concept of, Hey, I'm stuck here, I might as well

0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 2>try and take in this weather that doesn't happen very often.

0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 2>As long as people are careful, you can find a

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:02.160
<v Speaker 2>way to safely enjoy it.

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 1>We've seen some folks starting to sled.

0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 2>The winds are starting to die down, but we've got

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 2>blizzard warnings at least according to my phone until six

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 2>pm tonight.

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 3>Uh yeah, that's been the dynamic all night and all

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 3>day really quite literally up into this moment. This is

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.400
<v Speaker 3>the first time I've looked out the windows since last

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 3>night and the snow is not literally going sideways. And

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm just not talking about I mean, it's going out

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 3>an angle. You could tell wind is blowing now. But

0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.440
<v Speaker 3>until this moment, I have looked outside and the wind

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 3>has been going horizontal to the ground. That is, you know,

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 3>I posted a video about it, so I'm not just

0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.719
<v Speaker 3>making this up. So the wind has been the part

0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:48.240
<v Speaker 3>that's It's been wild to watch, but it's maybe calming

0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:48.839
<v Speaker 3>down a little bit.

0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Yes, And even for hardy New Yorkers.

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.719
<v Speaker 2>Look, we are used to dealing with wicked weather that

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.160
<v Speaker 2>pops up and sometimes unexpectedly, And look, I think a

0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.160
<v Speaker 2>lot of us sometimes get jaded because we hear a

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.560
<v Speaker 2>big storm's coming and then only a couple inches fall.

0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 2>I was shocked yesterday at the grocery store. I went

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:08.080
<v Speaker 2>to go pick up a few extra things. The store

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.840
<v Speaker 2>shelves were stocked, and I didn't know if that was

0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:16.200
<v Speaker 2>a credit I should give to Christiti's, the local supermarket,

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 2>or if people were not believing that it was going

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 2>to be that bad. And that could be a little

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.120
<v Speaker 2>bit of both. But unfortunately they were hit with a

0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:27.480
<v Speaker 2>wild surprise when they couldn't order toor dash to their

0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:28.680
<v Speaker 2>homes last night.

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 3>But y, we only raid grocery stores during pandemics.

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:33.720
<v Speaker 1>You know what, that's a good point.

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 3>This is a storm would be our and you know what,

0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:36.480
<v Speaker 3>they've been telling us, it's going to be a day

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.000
<v Speaker 3>or two and we should be okay. But I mean

0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.480
<v Speaker 3>they're holding off and waiting to decide if schools are

0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:44.720
<v Speaker 3>open tomorrow. Businesses certainly want to be open. I think

0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 3>we're kind of preparing to go back to business as

0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.640
<v Speaker 3>usual for the most part. Tomorrow might be a little

0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.079
<v Speaker 3>bit of a delay. But I mean New York, we okay,

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.439
<v Speaker 3>hit us, when can we get back to business?

0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, you just teed me right up.

0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.080
<v Speaker 2>So when we come back, we're going to talk about

0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:02.360
<v Speaker 2>how long before flights get back to normal New York

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:06.559
<v Speaker 2>City and all Boston and Philadelphia, all these major cities

0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.320
<v Speaker 2>that impact so much of the world. When are we

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.600
<v Speaker 2>all going to be able to dig out and dare

0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:25.320
<v Speaker 2>I even say melt all of this snow. Welcome back

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:29.240
<v Speaker 2>everyone to Amy and TJ, where we are snowed in

0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 2>and hunkered down as so many forty million people trying

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 2>to get my head around under blizzard warnings over the

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.720
<v Speaker 2>past twenty four hours. That is remarkable, the size of

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 2>the storm, how slow this storm is moving, and how

0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 2>powerful it is churning powerfully it's churning. This is one

0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:54.040
<v Speaker 2>for the record books. People will be talking about this

0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:56.600
<v Speaker 2>storm for years to come. Uh.

0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:58.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's been a while. I don't know what the

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 3>totals will be. I guess our record four blizzards and

0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:04.360
<v Speaker 3>snowfall or around twenty seven, twenty six, twenty five to

0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 3>twenty four inches and things like that. And this stuff

0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:10.200
<v Speaker 3>keeps coming. We could start knocking on that door in

0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 3>Central Park.

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we are certainly flirting with record setting numbers and

0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:16.960
<v Speaker 2>we're starting we can look up at the local and

0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 2>just see some of the blizzard totals. They have a scroll,

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:21.599
<v Speaker 2>but we're looking at some of these places out on

0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Long Island already at twenty eight point two inches and counting.

0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.080
<v Speaker 2>And look, if we keep getting snow for the next

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.560
<v Speaker 2>five six hours, maybe not the two to three inches

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 2>an hour rate that we've been seeing, you are seeing

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 2>historic snowfall here. And look it's it's stopped blowing horizontally bay,

0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 2>but it's still diagonal and it's still coming down hard.

0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 2>These are big, fat, fluffy flakes that are going to

0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:47.520
<v Speaker 2>create lots of inches. So this is going to be

0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.360
<v Speaker 2>fascinating to see just how much we end up getting

0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 2>with snow totals. But the problem is the weather. Look,

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.640
<v Speaker 2>we have had a frigid winter, so many of you

0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:59.040
<v Speaker 2>know this already. But tomorrow we don't get a buffreezing

0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:01.720
<v Speaker 2>I believe our high between twenty eight and thirty whatever

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 2>you look at, whatever weather service you're looking at, but

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 2>it's going to start out at fifteen degrees. It is

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:09.080
<v Speaker 2>going to be treacherous getting out and about even tomorrow.

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:10.720
<v Speaker 2>I imagine it's going to be tough for them to

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.280
<v Speaker 2>make that call on schools. But if you're trying to

0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.319
<v Speaker 2>get out of here or trying to get into or

0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 2>out of New York City, all ready for tomorrow, already

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:21.200
<v Speaker 2>checked out the major airports, Already like forty three percent

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.319
<v Speaker 2>of flights are canceled at most of the airports. That's

0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:26.319
<v Speaker 2>about the average forty five forty three percent. So it's

0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 2>going to look like Wednesday perhaps before people are going

0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:32.360
<v Speaker 2>to be able to start getting out of here and

0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.520
<v Speaker 2>traveling through here. However, did you hear we're supposed to

0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:38.520
<v Speaker 2>get another little bout of snow on Wednesday?

0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:42.800
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, it won't be anything like this, So, I mean,

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:47.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. We Yeah, we've been through plenty here

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:49.960
<v Speaker 3>in New York. It seemed like these weather events have

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:53.440
<v Speaker 3>become more extreme. It seems like they've become more frequent.

0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:56.440
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, we talk about global warming when it comes

0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.400
<v Speaker 3>to I guess heat and it's warmer than it needs

0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 3>to be. But they say these things have an impact

0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.520
<v Speaker 3>on weather year round. I am amazed. It seems like

0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 3>we have had. I mean, we just came out of

0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:09.079
<v Speaker 3>that deep historic freeze. We never had that many straight

0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 3>days in New York of below freezing temperatures. So I

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:14.679
<v Speaker 3>don't know what's going on. Maybe we're just having a

0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:20.400
<v Speaker 3>rough season, rough winter, but this is it's a little

0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.880
<v Speaker 3>scary how extreme things are getting with weather. Weather is

0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 3>making me nervous these.

0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Days, agreed. Yes, I don't recall too many days. And

0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:30.480
<v Speaker 2>we've lived in Manhattan, both of us for more than

0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:32.800
<v Speaker 2>two decades, so we have perspective. We've lived through some

0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:36.240
<v Speaker 2>major storms. I don't ever remember it being this cold

0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.960
<v Speaker 2>for this long, where you have windshels of negative fourteen,

0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:42.080
<v Speaker 2>where you are screaming to get into uber and then

0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:46.000
<v Speaker 2>you couple that now with this historic snowfall, and it

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 2>certainly looks like it's going to be Yes, I'm bracing

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:50.600
<v Speaker 2>for what March is even going to look like at

0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:51.120
<v Speaker 2>this point.

0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.439
<v Speaker 1>And that's kind of a fair fear to have at

0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 1>this point.

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 2>But we just guess we wanted to get on to

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:59.760
<v Speaker 2>let TJ's family know proof of life. We're okay, we're fine,

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 2>aren't curious, and we're taking videos. Maybe you can send

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.440
<v Speaker 2>them some and they'll feel like they're a part of it.

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh what, they haven't even asked. They don't know where

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.440
<v Speaker 3>we are in the world. Anyway. We just got back

0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:13.440
<v Speaker 3>from all over the place, so they don't even think

0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:14.360
<v Speaker 3>we're in New York. Problem.

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, we certainly hope wherever you are that you are

0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:20.840
<v Speaker 2>staying warm and dry, and.

0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully you don't have any travel.

0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Plans to the East Coast at least over.

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 1>The next couple of days.

0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:27.960
<v Speaker 2>And if you do, well, I hope you can laugh

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:29.480
<v Speaker 2>and realize that this is the one thing.

0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.080
<v Speaker 1>There are a few things in this world we cannot change,

0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:35.040
<v Speaker 1>and among them is the weather. But thank you as

0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 1>always for listening to us. I'm made Robach alongside TJ.

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Holmes.

0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:39.280
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk to you soon.
