00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:07.639
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm going easy Boston Radio.

2
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, welcome back everyone, and again I want to thank

3
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:13.400
<v Speaker 2>the callers. Last hole, we had a really extraordinary group

4
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:16.679
<v Speaker 2>of callers for an extraordinary guest, Professor Jeff Myron f

5
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Harvard University, talking about the federal debt and if that

6
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:25.640
<v Speaker 2>doesn't worry about worry you whatever your age is. You know,

7
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:27.760
<v Speaker 2>unless you're ninety five years old and you have no

8
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:31.399
<v Speaker 2>children and no grandchildren, you're home free. But other than that,

9
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.759
<v Speaker 2>every person should be worried about it. I just want

10
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:37.039
<v Speaker 2>to thank Professor Jeff Myron, who is just a fabulous guest.

11
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Can you imagine having him as a college professor. We're

12
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:43.640
<v Speaker 2>going to change topics. We might get back to that later,

13
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:45.920
<v Speaker 2>but we're going to change topics now and we're going

14
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.759
<v Speaker 2>to talk about something that everybody is interested in, and

15
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 2>that is the weather. Joining us now is ACI weather

16
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.320
<v Speaker 2>meteorologist Isaac Longley, who is a graduate of a great

17
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:02.079
<v Speaker 2>school in Vermont, amongst others, Linden State College. I know

18
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:06.319
<v Speaker 2>some of the the folks in your community, in your

19
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.359
<v Speaker 2>your air of expertise, Isaac, who have who have either

20
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.079
<v Speaker 2>taught up at Linden State and welcome to Nightside, and

21
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.359
<v Speaker 2>I think this might be your your debut experience here.

22
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:22.640
<v Speaker 2>And I got to ask, the last few days and

23
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.959
<v Speaker 2>the next few days are the coldest February days I

24
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.840
<v Speaker 2>can ever remember as a long time New England or

25
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.280
<v Speaker 2>correct me if I'm wrong, I probably am. But welcome

26
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:35.599
<v Speaker 2>to Nightside. How are you tonight?

27
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:38.959
<v Speaker 3>Well, Dan, I'm doing all right here. Thank you for

28
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.799
<v Speaker 3>the welcome, certainly appreciate that. Also, big shout out there

29
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:45.359
<v Speaker 3>to wynn And' State College. A great program out there.

30
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:49.040
<v Speaker 3>Learned a lot and still continue to learn to this day.

31
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.439
<v Speaker 3>So but yeah, really good program up there, and glad

32
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.599
<v Speaker 3>to still be here in the northeast, so you know,

33
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.640
<v Speaker 3>can't complain about that. But yeah, you know, going to

34
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 3>or talking about the cold here, it's been downright cold

35
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.439
<v Speaker 3>out there and that is going to continue at least

36
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:09.759
<v Speaker 3>through the middle portion of this weekend. It's not just

37
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.319
<v Speaker 3>the cold temperatures, but we have the wind component to

38
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.719
<v Speaker 3>deal with that as well. Win gus a forty to

39
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:19.000
<v Speaker 3>fifty miles per hour that adds that much to it

40
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.400
<v Speaker 3>and making those temperatures feel that much colder out there.

41
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:29.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, it has just been extraordinary. The ice

42
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:34.240
<v Speaker 2>and the rain and the combination. Look, we've had worst

43
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:39.680
<v Speaker 2>weather months. I remember February of twenty fifteen where we

44
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 2>had snowstorms almost it seemed twice a week for about

45
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.080
<v Speaker 2>six weeks, and I think we racked up about a

46
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.360
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and twenty inches of snow from around January

47
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:54.960
<v Speaker 2>twentieth until March first. You probably were a young child

48
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 2>back then, but I remember it clearly. But I never

49
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:05.520
<v Speaker 2>remember a month this cold. January is normally the coldest month.

50
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 2>That's when you get that that very deep, deep week

51
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:14.599
<v Speaker 2>of cold, at least that's my experience. And then sometimes

52
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:18.120
<v Speaker 2>you get the January thaw, which was like thirty five degrees,

53
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:24.199
<v Speaker 2>and you thought, wow, this is almost tropical. How how

54
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.599
<v Speaker 2>unprecedented is this for this amount of you know, sub

55
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:32.919
<v Speaker 2>zero temperatures throughout New England wind chill factors. I mean

56
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:35.039
<v Speaker 2>the wind out there tonight is well in forty fifty

57
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 2>miles an hour. I know it's let up a little

58
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:41.639
<v Speaker 2>bit in Boston, but I think this is has been

59
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:44.919
<v Speaker 2>an extraordinary month. And maybe I'm dead wrong, but but

60
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:49.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, am I even close? Am I close to

61
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.240
<v Speaker 2>the target? Well?

62
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're certainly not far off from the target.

63
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:54.639
<v Speaker 2>Here.

64
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.719
<v Speaker 3>And one of the factors that you know, want to

65
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 3>bring up here is that the past two to three winters,

66
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 3>maybe four winters, it's been warm in the Northeast, and

67
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, I think that's the factor that we have

68
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 3>to take into consideration here, because we've become so accustomed

69
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:16.959
<v Speaker 3>to these milder winter conditions, especially here in New England

70
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.839
<v Speaker 3>over the past several winters, that we're just not used

71
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:23.439
<v Speaker 3>to the cold anymore. And so, you know, I think

72
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:25.879
<v Speaker 3>that is a factor that we have to bring in here. Yeah,

73
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:29.120
<v Speaker 3>it's cold out there. We are below our averages for

74
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.800
<v Speaker 3>this time of year. Our average for the middle of

75
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:35.879
<v Speaker 3>February here should be righted around forty degrees. And you know,

76
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:38.480
<v Speaker 3>over the next several days here we are going to

77
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:42.240
<v Speaker 3>be seeing high temperatures only in the mid twenties. And

78
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.160
<v Speaker 3>again those are the actual temperatures. But when you consider

79
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.920
<v Speaker 3>that wind factor in there, when we do get those

80
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.600
<v Speaker 3>wind gusts of forty forty five, perhaps he've been up

81
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.319
<v Speaker 3>to fifty miles prior, like what we saw earlier today,

82
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.439
<v Speaker 3>that's going to bring those accurate weather real field temperatures

83
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:59.480
<v Speaker 3>down to near zero degrees. So we also have to

84
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.839
<v Speaker 3>factor and win there and even tomorrow those real field

85
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:06.040
<v Speaker 3>temperatures only in the single digit So it's gonna be

86
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:07.800
<v Speaker 3>one of those days where you just want to bundle

87
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.480
<v Speaker 3>up outside. That's if you want to go outside some

88
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:11.199
<v Speaker 3>you know.

89
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Do you think, what do you is there any as

90
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.160
<v Speaker 2>you look long range? And I know you folks do look,

91
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Is that this pattern breaking at any point? Or are

92
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 2>we stuck in this pattern? I'm I'm not a weather

93
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.759
<v Speaker 2>guy as much nearly as much as you are, but

94
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I follow it kind of closely, and it looks like

95
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 2>all of these storms of following a very similar track

96
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:35.399
<v Speaker 2>and they're just you're just hitting New England. When do

97
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.439
<v Speaker 2>we first? When are we going to see a little melting?

98
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:40.439
<v Speaker 2>When are we going to see a little warm up?

99
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:42.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

100
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:43.879
<v Speaker 3>So I do have some good news at least in

101
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.759
<v Speaker 3>terms of the long range forecast here. I think as

102
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.199
<v Speaker 3>we had toward the end of the month, I think

103
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:54.240
<v Speaker 3>we're looking at a relatively less story pattern, especially considering

104
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.759
<v Speaker 3>the extremely story pattern that we've seen for pretty much

105
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.399
<v Speaker 3>the whole month of February so far. But as we

106
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:03.160
<v Speaker 3>head into the end of the month, I think we

107
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.480
<v Speaker 3>are going to see more areas of high pressure build

108
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:10.319
<v Speaker 3>into the east, setting up more tranquil conditions, if you will, so,

109
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:13.639
<v Speaker 3>I think overall we're looking at relatively quieter conditions. Can't

110
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:17.160
<v Speaker 3>rule out a quick clipper system or two that can

111
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:19.920
<v Speaker 3>move across area, but I think those will be relatively

112
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:23.439
<v Speaker 3>brief compared to some of these major storms that we

113
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:27.360
<v Speaker 3>have been experiencing. And I do think the temperatures are

114
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.560
<v Speaker 3>going to come up at least close to average. I

115
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:34.199
<v Speaker 3>don't think we're seeing any significant warm ups anytime soon,

116
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:38.240
<v Speaker 3>but it looks like at least in the longer range here,

117
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.399
<v Speaker 3>as we head into the early part of next week,

118
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.439
<v Speaker 3>I think we do finally see those temperatures get up

119
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:47.680
<v Speaker 3>at least the high temperatures right around forty degrees, maybe

120
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.120
<v Speaker 3>even a little higher than that. So we will get

121
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.319
<v Speaker 3>at least closer to average as we head throughout the

122
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:55.000
<v Speaker 3>next ten days or so.

123
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm still waiting for the January thought. That's what I'm

124
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.560
<v Speaker 2>hoping for, whether it comes in February March, Isaac, thanks

125
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:03.040
<v Speaker 2>very much. One of the guys were taught up there.

126
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:04.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you ever ran into Joe Delo

127
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:08.759
<v Speaker 2>up at Linden State, but he's taught up there for

128
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.240
<v Speaker 2>many years. And as a great friend and has been

129
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:13.879
<v Speaker 2>a guest on this program as well.

130
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that name definitely rings a bell to me. He

131
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:20.639
<v Speaker 3>was before my time up there, I graduated.

132
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.240
<v Speaker 2>So you look like a young guy. So I got that.

133
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:29.160
<v Speaker 2>I got that. Yes, yeah, more or might we called

134
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.680
<v Speaker 2>vintage here, that's for sure. Isaac. Appreciate your time tonight,

135
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Thanks very much. Where you've given us at least a

136
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.279
<v Speaker 2>little hope here that by the end of February it

137
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.240
<v Speaker 2>might it might get a little more tolerable here in

138
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.279
<v Speaker 2>New England. Thanks Isaac. I appreciate your time tonight. Thank

139
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.160
<v Speaker 2>you so much. Yeah, you're welcome, Dan, talk to you soon, Okay,

140
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.360
<v Speaker 2>thanks very much. All right, we get back. I'd love

141
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:54.879
<v Speaker 2>to hear from you, okay, And whether you're a new

142
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:58.319
<v Speaker 2>Englander or you're someone new to the region, what's it

143
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:02.360
<v Speaker 2>been like for you the last few days? And I

144
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:05.720
<v Speaker 2>very rarely do we talk weather, look if there's a

145
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:08.399
<v Speaker 2>big blizzard or something like that, but I would love

146
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:10.480
<v Speaker 2>to hear from your experience. I mean, I was out

147
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:15.759
<v Speaker 2>yesterday in the rain trying to chop up or move

148
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:20.240
<v Speaker 2>ice a little bit, and it was just unmovable. And

149
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:26.839
<v Speaker 2>today I looked out and this has been as tough

150
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.199
<v Speaker 2>a month of February. Now I realize we're just a

151
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:32.559
<v Speaker 2>little more than half done with February. Okay, but this

152
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:35.360
<v Speaker 2>has been as tough a month of February as I

153
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.840
<v Speaker 2>can remember, unless you go back to twenty fifteen and

154
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.799
<v Speaker 2>then it was snow. Okay, this is just raw cold.

155
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:45.720
<v Speaker 2>So let's talk a little weather here. Let's have a

156
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:49.480
<v Speaker 2>little bit of fun. Maybe what have you done to

157
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:53.080
<v Speaker 2>walk to keep your house a little warmer? There's all say. Obviously,

158
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:56.080
<v Speaker 2>the additional heating costs that all of us are going

159
00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:00.879
<v Speaker 2>to have inflicted upon us next next bill cycle, it's

160
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:04.519
<v Speaker 2>going to be an expensive month. Anything you do in here,

161
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:07.720
<v Speaker 2>any tips that we can share. Let's talk weather and

162
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:12.759
<v Speaker 2>reaction to weather. This has been a tough, tough month.

163
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about it, and maybe by talking about it

164
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.000
<v Speaker 2>we can make it go away. Six one seven, two,

165
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.720
<v Speaker 2>five four ten thirty or six one seven, nine three

166
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.120
<v Speaker 2>one ten thirty. And if any of you are living

167
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.159
<v Speaker 2>in other parts of the country and want to brag

168
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:29.600
<v Speaker 2>a little bit about how comfortable it is where you are, look,

169
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:32.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm happy with New England compared to what has happened

170
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:37.200
<v Speaker 2>in other parts of the country. The fires in California,

171
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:42.000
<v Speaker 2>the hurricanes in North Carolina, they're still recovering from it.

172
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:46.120
<v Speaker 2>So we're blessed in that. Regard the tornadoes that hit

173
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:51.200
<v Speaker 2>the Plain States, all of that. I'm not complaining, but

174
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:54.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm I want to get this weather out of here,

175
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:57.960
<v Speaker 2>and maybe by doing a little bit of this tonight,

176
00:09:58.039 --> 00:09:59.840
<v Speaker 2>we can convince the weather that it's time for it

177
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:02.639
<v Speaker 2>to change. Maybe just from a metaphysical point of view,

178
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.759
<v Speaker 2>our conversations tonight will help warm things up. We're all

179
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:07.559
<v Speaker 2>in this together. Coming back on Nightside.

180
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:12.279
<v Speaker 1>Now, back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

181
00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:15.559
<v Speaker 1>Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.

182
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:19.240
<v Speaker 2>So talking about what your experience has been with weather

183
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:24.159
<v Speaker 2>here in New England for the last month, but specifically February.

184
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:27.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean normally in New England you get really cold

185
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.360
<v Speaker 2>weather in January and you generally have a week in

186
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:35.440
<v Speaker 2>January that's the worst winter, worst weather week of the

187
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.159
<v Speaker 2>year from the point of view of being cold. Just

188
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.000
<v Speaker 2>like in late July or August. There will always be

189
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:44.399
<v Speaker 2>one week.

190
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:50.159
<v Speaker 5>When it's ninety degrees and it's you know, June is lovely,

191
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.720
<v Speaker 5>September is great, most of you know, fourth of July

192
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:55.799
<v Speaker 5>June is pretty good.

193
00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:00.519
<v Speaker 2>Late July, you're gonna get that bad weather week. For

194
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.879
<v Speaker 2>some reason, it hasn't quit here in New England. Let's

195
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:08.080
<v Speaker 2>go to Marty in Florida. Marty, I don't rub it

196
00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:10.000
<v Speaker 2>in too much, but I'm sure it's a lot nicer

197
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:12.120
<v Speaker 2>in Florida tonight than it is in New England. How

198
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:13.240
<v Speaker 2>are you well?

199
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:17.639
<v Speaker 6>First of all, right, now it's fifty one degrees over here,

200
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:21.159
<v Speaker 6>and I heard from some sort you'll excuse my voice,

201
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:24.320
<v Speaker 6>I have what I call a global warming throat condition.

202
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Uhcha? Somebody that.

203
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:32.600
<v Speaker 6>Somebody said that in Florida, if it's less than sixty degrees,

204
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:35.480
<v Speaker 6>it's called cold. And just to let you know, when

205
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:38.639
<v Speaker 6>I was a cop in New York City, New York City,

206
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.000
<v Speaker 6>if it was thirty degrees or cold, that they called

207
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:45.639
<v Speaker 6>it a cold emergency. Jacksonville forty degrees and they call

208
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:46.919
<v Speaker 6>it a cold emergency.

209
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:48.279
<v Speaker 7>I'm going to ask you a question.

210
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:50.720
<v Speaker 6>What do you think is the biggest weather And this

211
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.240
<v Speaker 6>is not political, the biggest weather killer summer or winter

212
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:54.919
<v Speaker 6>in Florida?

213
00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:05.399
<v Speaker 2>Oh why some summer summer in August in Florida. I

214
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:07.480
<v Speaker 2>got the ac running from morning.

215
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:10.799
<v Speaker 6>Till night my house that I'm living in now for

216
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:15.200
<v Speaker 6>the last thirty years didn't come with air conditioning. We

217
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:17.600
<v Speaker 6>had a nut that I bought this house from you lived.

218
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:20.360
<v Speaker 6>He was from wherever it was, Ohio, and we had

219
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:23.039
<v Speaker 6>to spend a few thousand dollars to have air conditioning

220
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:26.519
<v Speaker 6>and heat put in right. So a lot of these houses,

221
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:29.360
<v Speaker 6>also in the Rockaways in New York, a lot of

222
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:33.559
<v Speaker 6>the houses on the water were not meant for heath.

223
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:36.879
<v Speaker 6>My house is a cold house, but I love it

224
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:41.799
<v Speaker 6>because it's good when hurricanes come. But also, what do

225
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:43.720
<v Speaker 6>you know about El Nino and La Nina.

226
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:49.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, I know that one of them says it's going

227
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:53.080
<v Speaker 2>to be more rainy or less rainy. I know that

228
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:59.840
<v Speaker 2>people assume that depending upon the heat of the ocean

229
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:05.320
<v Speaker 2>it's in the Pacific, the Pacific Ocean on the west

230
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:11.080
<v Speaker 2>coast of South America, that that dictates our weather patterns.

231
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.879
<v Speaker 2>As I understand that I'm not an expert in that area, Marty.

232
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:17.360
<v Speaker 6>But that's Can I tell you something fast but funny

233
00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:22.159
<v Speaker 6>that happened to me about eight years ago that I

234
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:26.159
<v Speaker 6>think you'd appreciate Again, Joe, it's not political. My wife

235
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:28.159
<v Speaker 6>has a cousin in Norway.

236
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:29.720
<v Speaker 7>We went to visit her.

237
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:32.960
<v Speaker 6>July fifth, we left New York to go visit my

238
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.240
<v Speaker 6>wife's cousin in Norway. I looked at the mac where

239
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:39.080
<v Speaker 6>she lives is above the Arctic Circle.

240
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:41.039
<v Speaker 7>So I came.

241
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.879
<v Speaker 6>From having a barbecue on Long Island. I took my

242
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:47.080
<v Speaker 6>winter coat with me and I says to my wife,

243
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:49.960
<v Speaker 6>we're enjoying fourth of July, and now you're going to

244
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:52.320
<v Speaker 6>have me living in an igolo because I'm ignorant.

245
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:52.519
<v Speaker 8>Right.

246
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:54.039
<v Speaker 6>We went to a place in.

247
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.960
<v Speaker 9>Norway and we found out that they have a.

248
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:00.240
<v Speaker 6>Little bit of eighty something degree weather. It was warm,

249
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:04.200
<v Speaker 6>and also to have a periodical infestation of what they

250
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:08.480
<v Speaker 6>call cleagues, their horseflies. So what an idiot I was thinking,

251
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:10.679
<v Speaker 6>you know, above the Arctic circle.

252
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.519
<v Speaker 2>But well, I can tell you this I was. I

253
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.679
<v Speaker 2>was in Norway, north of Oslo, which is still below

254
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:19.240
<v Speaker 2>the Arctic Circle. This has got to be in the

255
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:22.559
<v Speaker 2>early nineteen eighties, near the near the city of Bergen,

256
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.240
<v Speaker 2>which is right on the coast, and we were on

257
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:27.639
<v Speaker 2>a mountain I think it was called blastklavin Uh and

258
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:30.519
<v Speaker 2>we had a couple of six as a group of us,

259
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:32.879
<v Speaker 2>we had a couple of six packs of beer that

260
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:37.200
<v Speaker 2>chilled in the in the snow on that mountain, So

261
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:40.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, to get your elevation up a

262
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:42.399
<v Speaker 2>little bit. In Norway, you can have snow in This

263
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:44.919
<v Speaker 2>was in July. This was called July.

264
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.639
<v Speaker 6>Her cousin's house had air conditioning, a low air conditioning

265
00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.080
<v Speaker 6>in Norway, and actually if you looked at the scenery,

266
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.399
<v Speaker 6>it looked like something it could have been on Long Island.

267
00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:57.879
<v Speaker 9>We had a great time.

268
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.320
<v Speaker 6>We want to go back, but you're probably your six

269
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:05.000
<v Speaker 6>pack is very expensive in Norway, most expensive place I've

270
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:05.519
<v Speaker 6>ever been to.

271
00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:09.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, I could tell you this Norway was beautiful. It

272
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.279
<v Speaker 2>was interesting looking at the architecture. The roofs on the

273
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:18.039
<v Speaker 2>homes often are very steeply pitched, you know, so that

274
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:23.360
<v Speaker 2>when the snows come, the snow slids off. In Oslo

275
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:26.679
<v Speaker 2>was the only place that I've ever eaten whale meat.

276
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.039
<v Speaker 2>It was like a whale steak. I remember that well.

277
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:33.320
<v Speaker 6>At the same at at the same time, we stayed

278
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.720
<v Speaker 6>with her cousin's son because it was close to the

279
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:38.320
<v Speaker 6>airport and I was I was having a jones I

280
00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:41.440
<v Speaker 6>was jonesing for bagels. So guess what they did. They

281
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:44.480
<v Speaker 6>got us some lender bagels. They weren't new York bagels,

282
00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:45.960
<v Speaker 6>but in Norway, what do you want?

283
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:49.240
<v Speaker 2>It's okay. Now. The year that I went and we're

284
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:53.480
<v Speaker 2>also I was in Stockholm and I walked down the

285
00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:55.840
<v Speaker 2>main street of Stockholm and you can look this up

286
00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:59.639
<v Speaker 2>if you want. The word for sale meaning you know

287
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:03.159
<v Speaker 2>them or sale s A l E is ray r

288
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:05.440
<v Speaker 2>e A, which is how my last name is spelled.

289
00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:08.399
<v Speaker 2>And I thought, what a wonderful welcome. They were all

290
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:13.679
<v Speaker 2>flags that said ray ray Ray, ray ray actually and

291
00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:15.879
<v Speaker 2>had them had it shipped back to America.

292
00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:19.720
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that sounds almost like a mystical experience.

293
00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:22.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh it really was. I'm walking down and saying, aren't

294
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:25.320
<v Speaker 2>these people nice? They must have No, I didn't. I

295
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:28.080
<v Speaker 2>just thought to myself, this is very cool. I mean,

296
00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:30.159
<v Speaker 2>you knew that what that meant with sale And he

297
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:32.480
<v Speaker 2>asked someone and oh, yes, that shows it is the

298
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:34.960
<v Speaker 2>It was like the middle of July. It was. It

299
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:37.080
<v Speaker 2>was great. It's Marty. Great to hear your voice is

300
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:39.879
<v Speaker 2>always sounds strong. This is the first time you and

314
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:23.839
<v Speaker 2>wind was unbelievable. I mean, I'm used to Normally you

315
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:27.000
<v Speaker 2>get wind here in New England, in Boston in March,

316
00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:32.200
<v Speaker 2>that's the windy month. Uh. You know, normally February you

317
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:35.880
<v Speaker 2>get snow. Okay, but you also know that the sun's

318
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:39.079
<v Speaker 2>a little higher, the snow's going to melt the ice

319
00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:43.359
<v Speaker 2>that we have that's not melting until the temperature gets

320
00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:47.160
<v Speaker 2>up around forty degrees. I'm telling here this is this

321
00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:50.640
<v Speaker 2>is tough here in New England right now. And you

322
00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:54.200
<v Speaker 2>can get in this pattern. I remember in the in

323
00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:57.680
<v Speaker 2>the winter, it would have been January February twenty fifteen.

324
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.279
<v Speaker 2>That's that was our toughest winter in terms of snow

325
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.400
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and twenty inches or so in the Boston

326
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:05.680
<v Speaker 2>area in a period of about six weeks from the

327
00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:08.160
<v Speaker 2>middle of January to the end of February. The storm

328
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:10.960
<v Speaker 2>just kept coming. The year before, For those of you

329
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:17.279
<v Speaker 2>who are in the Atlantic region, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia,

330
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:22.279
<v Speaker 2>you got hit with snowstorm after snowstorm after snowstorm in

331
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:25.680
<v Speaker 2>the winter of would have been twenty thirteen and twenty fourteen.

332
00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:29.559
<v Speaker 2>I remember talking to people, that's a winter that you

333
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.960
<v Speaker 2>remember down there. We got it the next year and

334
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:36.559
<v Speaker 2>it just kept tracking over New England and it didn't stop.

335
00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:39.279
<v Speaker 2>Join the conversation. Let's talk about how you're doing with

336
00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:42.160
<v Speaker 2>the weather. Is there anyone out there who's enjoying it.

337
00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:44.319
<v Speaker 2>I have some neighbors who went skiing this weekend. I

338
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:47.440
<v Speaker 2>know they enjoyed it. They had a great time. But

339
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:52.000
<v Speaker 2>it's been miserable. It's been a miserable month of February.

340
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:57.119
<v Speaker 2>The Super Bowl is over. There's nothing left in February

341
00:18:57.400 --> 00:18:59.119
<v Speaker 2>when you think about it. I mean, we got to

342
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:01.039
<v Speaker 2>get to March, and then you get to Saint Patrick's

343
00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Day and maybe it's spring coming back.

00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:29.920
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

358
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:44.200
<v Speaker 7>grew up in Connecticut. I can also remember throwing snowballs

359
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:47.480
<v Speaker 7>at cars going by our our street because there were

360
00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:49.920
<v Speaker 7>big mounds of snow that ran the whole length of

361
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:53.440
<v Speaker 7>the street, covered us up as ten year olds. Oh yeah,

362
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:55.039
<v Speaker 7>I've never seen anything like that.

363
00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:58.160
<v Speaker 2>But the Statute of Limitations and that stuff is run, Bruce,

364
00:19:58.160 --> 00:19:59.119

<v Speaker 7>Oh yeah, for sure, for sure, it's not the same anymore.

366
00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:04.000
<v Speaker 2>I just don't remember it being this cold. It's a

367
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:08.119
<v Speaker 2>snowy month in New England, and there was never more

368
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:11.799
<v Speaker 2>snowy than twenty fifteen. But the cold this close.

369
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:16.160
<v Speaker 7>I don't recall the cold either. Yeah, and I've been here.

370
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:16.759
<v Speaker 7>Let's see.

371
00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:19.599
<v Speaker 2>I know the climate people are going to say, well, this,

372
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:23.480
<v Speaker 2>this just proves that the Earth is warming and climate.

373
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:24.279
<v Speaker 9>Change because.

374
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:26.400
<v Speaker 2>We come up.

375
00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:30.440
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, that could possibly come up for sure.

00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Are you doing anything? Yeah? What are you doing to?

377
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:35.720
<v Speaker 2>I just I'm staying in, to be honest with you.

378
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:37.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's what I'm doing. I'm limiting my amount

379
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:38.799
<v Speaker 2>of time outside.

380
00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:43.599
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, other than beating my two younger sisters. We're all

381
00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:47.599
<v Speaker 7>in our seventies. Other than beating my two younger sisters

382
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:51.119
<v Speaker 7>three times a week at Rummy Cube, I stay in

383
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:52.240
<v Speaker 7>the house when it's cold.

384
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Is that a card game? I assume? Is that a

385
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:55.480
<v Speaker 2>card game?

386
00:20:55.799 --> 00:21:00.279
<v Speaker 7>Rummy? No, Rummy Cube is is kind of rum any

387
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:02.680
<v Speaker 7>rules where you do three of a kind, four of

388
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:05.759
<v Speaker 7>a kind or a run three, four, five, seven, eight nine,

389
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:09.640
<v Speaker 7>all the same suit, but it's done with with tiles

390
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:13.839
<v Speaker 7>like domino, and there are no four suits. There's just

391
00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:17.119
<v Speaker 7>two colors or four colors. There's no suits.

392
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:20.559
<v Speaker 2>Is that like that similar? Is it? Is it like

393
00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:22.680
<v Speaker 2>a backgam thing or No?

394
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:25.440
<v Speaker 7>No, nothing like that gaming at all that I that

395
00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:26.640
<v Speaker 7>I can think of enough.

396
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, I'm not good on card games or or

397
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:33.440
<v Speaker 2>are those sort of games either. When you said, are

398
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:36.880
<v Speaker 2>you saying rummy like Jim Rummy, Jim Rummy, Yeah, you

399
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:37.839
<v Speaker 2>say Jim Rummy.

400
00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:40.759
<v Speaker 7>If you play Jim Rummy. The object of Jim Rummy

401
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:42.839
<v Speaker 7>is to get a run let's say, four or five

402
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:48.480
<v Speaker 7>sixty seven of spades, yeah, four or four fours of

403
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:51.559
<v Speaker 7>each suit, one of each suit, and then you play

404
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:53.759
<v Speaker 7>all your cards and out you go. But you have

405
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:57.440
<v Speaker 7>to have runs and suits, you know, three or four

406
00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:00.400
<v Speaker 7>of a kind. Well, instead of doing it with a

407
00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:03.640
<v Speaker 7>poker card deck, do it with dominoes.

408
00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:08.160
<v Speaker 2>And that's what Yeah, I'm familiar with dominoes.

409
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:10.480
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, and so.

<v Speaker 9>Yeah, and I got to.

415
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:25.079
<v Speaker 7>The quick reason I called. I'm not sure if it

416
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:28.279
<v Speaker 7>relates exactly, but I learned a valuable blessing. My bathroom

417
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:32.279
<v Speaker 7>sink has been leaking, not really a major leak, not running,

418
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:34.200
<v Speaker 7>just a drip and a drip and a drip and

419
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:37.279
<v Speaker 7>a drip. And I heard something on on TV or

420
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:40.440
<v Speaker 7>radio that you know these add up? Well, I put

421
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:41.200
<v Speaker 7>a cup under it.

422
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:41.720
<v Speaker 9>One day.

423
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:47.000
<v Speaker 7>I've been I've been losing thirty six gallons of water

424
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:51.119
<v Speaker 7>of hot water heated by gas a day for the

425
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:52.319
<v Speaker 7>last year.

426
00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:53.799
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

427
00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:56.839
<v Speaker 7>So a note to your customers when they say a

428
00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:58.960
<v Speaker 7>drip adds up, man, it does.

429
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's interesting that that you had the patience to

430
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:06.599
<v Speaker 2>do that. But good for you, and people should be.

431
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:09.440
<v Speaker 7>Aware of it because I only did it because I saw

432
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:11.119
<v Speaker 7>something on TV or radio.

433
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:13.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, yeah, no, but but that's that's an incredible

434
00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:15.119
<v Speaker 2>thirty six gallons a day.

435
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:18.759
<v Speaker 7>Incredible thirty six gallons a day. I measured it, and uh,

436
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:19.319
<v Speaker 7>that's a.

437
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Gallon in the half. That's that's a gallon in half

438
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:22.960
<v Speaker 2>an hour.

439
00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:24.799

<v Speaker 2>plumber over there. And and even though the bill's going

442
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:34.200
<v Speaker 2>to be expensive in the long run, it's gonna save

443
00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:34.839
<v Speaker 2>you some money.

444
00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:37.559

452
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:06.039
<v Speaker 10>gonna have breakfasts, and power went out and then came

453
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:09.000
<v Speaker 10>back on, and I thought everything was fine, and it

454
00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:11.759
<v Speaker 10>went out for good around noon, and I called National Grid.

455
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:15.319
<v Speaker 10>I get the letter at the notices and braille, so

456
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:19.960
<v Speaker 10>I found the customer service, called them up and they

457
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:23.000
<v Speaker 10>said I'd get it by two, the power on by

458
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:28.079
<v Speaker 10>do Nope, we got it by around six thirty seven o'clock.

459
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:30.400
<v Speaker 2>Was this yesterday or Saturday?

460
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:32.319
<v Speaker 10>This was today?

461
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:32.559
<v Speaker 9>Oh?

462
00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Today?

463
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:34.160
<v Speaker 9>Oh?

464
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:37.039
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, yeah today. Maybe I didn't make that leak I.

465
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Got National Grid didn't didn't. You used to have UNITIL.

466
00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:42.720
<v Speaker 10>I remember when I lived in fitch for a gift.

467
00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. UNITIL had a really tough time. I think it

468
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:51.079
<v Speaker 2>was the winter of twenty eleven. They had more powers. Yes, yes, yeah,

469
00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:52.319
<v Speaker 2>that was a disaster.

470
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:54.839
<v Speaker 10>And even when I lived in Fitchburg they had a

471
00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:57.759
<v Speaker 10>little some power outers and leave had a couple of

472
00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:01.839
<v Speaker 10>ice storms in nineteen ninety six. I thought it was

473
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:02.680
<v Speaker 10>being a cold winter.

474
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:03.240
<v Speaker 7>It wasn't.

475
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:06.200
<v Speaker 10>In ninety seven, I thought we're going to have cold winter.

476
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:10.319
<v Speaker 10>We didn't. But we we were out of power for

477
00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:13.640
<v Speaker 10>about a day and a half and people were inviting

478
00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:16.559
<v Speaker 10>us over to the house, and we stayed home and

479
00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:18.599
<v Speaker 10>we were happy. When the power came on.

480
00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:19.880
<v Speaker 9>We meet.

481
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, I would love to know if anybody has looked

482
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:26.400
<v Speaker 2>up the Farmer's Almanac and see if they if the

483
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:33.279
<v Speaker 2>Farmer's Almanac nailed February, because that should have been very clear,

484
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:36.599
<v Speaker 2>you know that the language should should not be one

485
00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:40.319
<v Speaker 2>of those. Well, sometimes it gets a little chili in February.

486
00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:44.599
<v Speaker 10>Oh yeah, Oh no, it's been really cold, and I've

487
00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:47.759
<v Speaker 10>stayed in a lot more and I've had cancel I

488
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:50.400
<v Speaker 10>get this this therapy, I had to cancel at once,

489
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:53.720
<v Speaker 10>and people who come over and do some cleaning us up.

490
00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:57.079
<v Speaker 10>We've had to cancel days and things. And it's you know,

491
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.599
<v Speaker 10>I'm of cold winters, but not this gold. Yeah, we'll

492
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:03.400
<v Speaker 10>put you remember, I mean that was.

493
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:08.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well that was an extraordinary winter, that one. But

494
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:13.279
<v Speaker 2>normally it's January that's the cold month, and then February

495
00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:15.599
<v Speaker 2>as it warms up a little bit to get some snow,

496
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:18.200
<v Speaker 2>and then March you get the winds of March, and

497
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:21.440
<v Speaker 2>then April, fine, you're back to the to the normal

498
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:24.279
<v Speaker 2>to the good weather. But if anybody's out there who

499
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:26.359
<v Speaker 2>has a copy of the Pharmacy Almanac, I would love

500
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:28.519
<v Speaker 2>to know what it says about February and New England

501
00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:29.319
<v Speaker 2>of this day.

502
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:32.359
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, but in twenty fifteen, most of February was cold.

503
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:34.319
<v Speaker 2>I think, well, snowy.

504
00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:39.920
<v Speaker 9>I think that, Oh yeah, that was the snow. Yeah.

505
00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, it hadn't snown all winter. And then about the

506
00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:46.599
<v Speaker 2>middle of January it started to snow.

507
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:48.240
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, I remember that.

508
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:50.200
<v Speaker 10>And I said, and I said, this ship. When we

509
00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:53.000
<v Speaker 10>weren't getting much snow in January but cold, I said,

510
00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:55.880
<v Speaker 10>you just wait till February. We're gonna get snowing.

511
00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:58.960
<v Speaker 2>You could feel it of the day. The other thing

512
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:02.400
<v Speaker 2>is I remember, and I guess it was in late January.

513
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:05.160
<v Speaker 2>One day I was sitting at the kitchen table and

514
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:09.200
<v Speaker 2>just pulling together some of my uh, you know, W

515
00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:12.519
<v Speaker 2>two forms and ten ninety nine's for tell. Yeah, yeah,

516
00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:14.440
<v Speaker 2>And I looked down at one point and I saw

517
00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:18.519
<v Speaker 2>one little drop of water and I thought, gee, what

518
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:21.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, did I did? I have a glass of

519
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:24.079
<v Speaker 2>war And that was the first drop of what we

520
00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:28.039
<v Speaker 2>ended up with about forty thousand dollars worth of week.

521
00:27:28.119 --> 00:27:32.680
<v Speaker 2>We oh no, oh yeah, oh had you know dams

522
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:36.599
<v Speaker 2>ice dams on our gutters because the snow was so heavy.

523
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:39.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, and thank god we had.

524
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:40.680
<v Speaker 10>That year it happened.

525
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:42.920
<v Speaker 2>No no, no, no, no, this was still this was

526
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:44.359
<v Speaker 2>would have been in twenty fifteen.

527
00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:47.559
<v Speaker 10>Oh yes, we almost had to be evacuated from our apartment.

528
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:50.240
<v Speaker 10>We didn't, Thank goodness, stuff it was. We had to

529
00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:53.240
<v Speaker 10>be evacuated. I was in a car in a van

530
00:27:54.079 --> 00:27:57.480
<v Speaker 10>and somebody helped me back. And then I got back

531
00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:02.000
<v Speaker 10>to my apartment and I'd forgotten to pack my pajamas.

532
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, under the circumstances, you probably wanted to sleep in

533
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:10.839
<v Speaker 2>warm clothes when you think about it. All right' gonna

534
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:13.079
<v Speaker 2>let you run is always. Thanks so much to hearing

535

<v Speaker 2>your voice. And I wish it's some better weather in Lemonster.

536
00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:18.920
<v Speaker 10>Okay, Oh I wish. Oh I think we will, but

537
00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:22.200
<v Speaker 10>I think we're just gonna have to. You know, we

538
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:25.160
<v Speaker 10>get that, We get all the powerholders stuff out here,

539
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:28.079
<v Speaker 10>you know, in this part of Messatu and the snow.

543
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:42.039
<v Speaker 2>this kind of the South coast, right.

544
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:44.319
<v Speaker 8>Donna, Yes it is.

<v Speaker 2>This is Donna the Diaper Lady. She's she's out on

546
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:49.839

00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:52.079
<v Speaker 7>Hi Donna, nice, hear your voice.

548
00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:54.880
<v Speaker 4>Well, I'm the night yours headed to work, and I

549
00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:55.839
<v Speaker 4>love your program.

550
00:28:56.599 --> 00:28:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh this is the night I'm sorry I had you

551
00:28:58.839 --> 00:29:01.559
<v Speaker 2>mixed up with Donna the Diaper Lady. Your voices sounded

552
00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:02.440
<v Speaker 2>very familiar.

553
00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:06.200
<v Speaker 4>Oh well, no, I'm a night nurse, but I don't

554
00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:08.599
<v Speaker 4>do a lot of diapers because I work in maternity.

555
00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:14.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that I was, I kind of I was correct

556
00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:19.400
<v Speaker 2>for the wrong reasons. So this is it's got to

557
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:21.279
<v Speaker 2>be cold on the roads out there today. What's it

558
00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:24.920
<v Speaker 2>reading on your your car thermometer at this point twenty.

559
00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:26.480
<v Speaker 8>Something twenty two?

560
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:31.319
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, I bet you feel a lot colder than that.

561
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:35.000
<v Speaker 4>It is. It is, But I had a cute little story.

562
00:29:35.079 --> 00:29:35.279
<v Speaker 1>One.

563
00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:38.440
<v Speaker 8>My electric bill is unbelievable right.

564
00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:44.440
<v Speaker 4>Now, and we have that taut municipal lighting plant and

565
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:48.759
<v Speaker 4>it has doubled since for the winter, so I'm not

566
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:52.039
<v Speaker 4>looking forward to this month's bill. The other thing, with

567
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:56.079
<v Speaker 4>the rain yesterday, my driveway is a sheet of ice,

568
00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:00.119
<v Speaker 4>and I'm like, oh, I said, oh my gosh, and

569
00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:01.880
<v Speaker 4>my husband, what the heck are we going to do

570
00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:05.799
<v Speaker 4>with that? But I had to laugh because I'm a

571
00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:09.720
<v Speaker 4>true New England or you know, Blizard of seventy eight,

572
00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:13.920
<v Speaker 4>all that good stuff. But I had to laugh because

573
00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:17.240
<v Speaker 4>you talked about the different people coming from different areas,

574
00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:21.279
<v Speaker 4>and I worked with a lot of travel nurses from Florida.

575
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:24.799
<v Speaker 8>Yes, I wish you could see.

576
00:30:24.599 --> 00:30:27.240
<v Speaker 4>Them going out in the morning. I'm going out my

577
00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:32.279
<v Speaker 4>fleece and they're going out in their North States, bundled

578
00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:37.799
<v Speaker 4>up Minton's hat, scoffs and everything because they're coming from

579
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:38.400
<v Speaker 4>the South.

580
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:39.640
<v Speaker 8>And I have to laugh.

581
00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:42.480
<v Speaker 4>It's really cute to see them coming and going.

582
00:30:43.119 --> 00:30:45.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, their blood is a little thinner than ours. You

583
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:49.920
<v Speaker 2>know what's funny. I only learned about travel nurses seven

584
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:53.319
<v Speaker 2>or eight years ago. I don't know. I remember how

585
00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:56.599
<v Speaker 2>it happened. A friend of mine was spending a lot

586
00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:59.359
<v Speaker 2>of time in the hospital and I would visit him

587
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:03.920
<v Speaker 2>on a fairly regular basis. And this thing about travel

588
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:06.559
<v Speaker 2>nurses is it kind of a cool idea. If you're

589
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:09.640
<v Speaker 2>a young woman or whatever, you or a man, and

590
00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:12.680
<v Speaker 2>you and you are willing to travel or enjoy traveling,

591
00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:16.880
<v Speaker 2>you you're licensed as a nurse in one state and

592
00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:19.720
<v Speaker 2>you're able, I guess, to use that your license in

593
00:31:20.119 --> 00:31:23.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, certain other states. They have some sort of reciprocity.

594
00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:27.599
<v Speaker 2>So you can live in Massachusetts for a few months

595
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:31.960
<v Speaker 2>and then southern California. It's you know, if if you

596
00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:35.119
<v Speaker 2>are kind of footlo footloose and fancy free, you can

597
00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:38.200
<v Speaker 2>see the country and learn a lot about the country.

598
00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:43.240
<v Speaker 4>I'll tell you the wonderful women that I work with, strong,

599
00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:48.000
<v Speaker 4>strong women. You know, they have families, but this is

600
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:50.160
<v Speaker 4>something that to get you know, they have to have

601
00:31:50.519 --> 00:31:53.039
<v Speaker 4>I work with most women, so but they have to

602
00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:55.880
<v Speaker 4>have a strong support system at home to do what

603
00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:59.680
<v Speaker 4>they're able to do. And and they you know, they'll

604
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:02.160
<v Speaker 4>work and a God bless them, they do twelve hours.

605
00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:06.000
<v Speaker 4>My feet only do eight. But they'll work seven or

606
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:08.480
<v Speaker 4>eight in a row and then they'll go home for

607
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:12.759
<v Speaker 4>a few days, you know, And I always say, God

608
00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:16.880
<v Speaker 4>bless them. I personally couldn't do it. But one nurse

609
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:19.799
<v Speaker 4>that I just work with, she's now in Hawaii, so

610
00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:23.920
<v Speaker 4>she's doing living the dream a little bit. But these

611
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:28.319
<v Speaker 4>women work hard for the time frame that they're here.

612
00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:29.839
<v Speaker 4>It's under I know, but.

613
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:33.200
<v Speaker 2>You just think of how many other professions would allow

614
00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:36.160
<v Speaker 2>you to do that where you can sort of when

615
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:41.200
<v Speaker 2>you're young and maybe you're footloose and fancy free. You

616
00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:44.839
<v Speaker 2>you're not involved in a in a relationship or a marriage,

617
00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:47.240
<v Speaker 2>and all of a sudden, you spend a couple of

618
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:49.839
<v Speaker 2>months in Hawaii. A couple of months, you could spend

619
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:52.680
<v Speaker 2>two months in Hawaii, two months in Alaska, two months

620
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:55.519
<v Speaker 2>in Massachusetts, and two months in Florida, and you could

621
00:32:55.559 --> 00:32:58.559
<v Speaker 2>be in fod really different parts of the country within

622
00:32:58.599 --> 00:32:59.279
<v Speaker 2>a year for sure.

623
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:03.279
<v Speaker 4>And they and they, well, if you're young and free,

624
00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:05.599
<v Speaker 4>they can do that. But a lot of women I

625
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:09.799
<v Speaker 4>work with have families, and it's actually amazing what they

626
00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:11.319
<v Speaker 4>accomplished for their families.

627
00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:16.680
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, so well, and nurse And I love doctors, but

628
00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:21.480
<v Speaker 11>I have a special feeling towards nurses because as great

629
00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:24.559
<v Speaker 11>as doctors are, doctors are great, Uh, it's the nurses

630
00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:27.200
<v Speaker 11>who are there to help you when you're really when

631
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:32.480
<v Speaker 11>you're hurting, puppy, and they pull you through it much. Yes,

632
00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:36.240
<v Speaker 11>the doctors prescribe and the nurses describe what's going on.

633
00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:38.599
<v Speaker 2>It's what I say, that's true.

634
00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:38.960
<v Speaker 8>True.

635
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:41.799
<v Speaker 4>Well, I love your Lightheaded program tonight. I wanted to

636
00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:42.359

00:33:48.119 --> 00:33:51.160
<v Speaker 2>with Jeffrey Myron from Harvard University and we were talking

640
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:54.559
<v Speaker 2>about the federal debt. That was anything but lighthearted, but

641
00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:59.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm boning lighted it up a little bit. Thanks to

00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:27.159
<v Speaker 2>you would like, and just talk about living in New England.

654
00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:31.000
<v Speaker 2>There will be that ninety degree heat wave this summer

655
00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:33.519
<v Speaker 2>where for three days the temperature at Logan Airport of

656
00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:35.800
<v Speaker 2>four days in a row will be over and we

657
00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:39.880
<v Speaker 2>will be pining for the cool breezes of February. But

658
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:42.840
<v Speaker 2>right now we could use a little warm that's for sure.

659
00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:45.639
<v Speaker 2>Coming back on nights side.

660
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:48.519
<v Speaker 1>Now, back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

661
00:34:48.719 --> 00:34:52.960
<v Speaker 1>night Sight Studios. I'm WBSY News Radio her.

662
00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:58.719
<v Speaker 2>We're talking weather, cold weather in New England, Gary z

663
00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:00.760
<v Speaker 2>and Ruber and Gary next on tack right ahead.

664
00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:04.320
<v Speaker 8>I gotta admit your shows. I don't listen to the

665
00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:06.519
<v Speaker 8>whole four hours have been awesome Wayley, And I'll tell

666
00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:10.239
<v Speaker 8>you how because you're not talking politics. You talk about

667
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:13.280
<v Speaker 8>human life, which is awesome. And I want to get

668
00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:17.239
<v Speaker 8>more to the point. Elderly. There's a woman I know,

669
00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:20.280
<v Speaker 8>she's about sixty five years old, was an elderly complex.

670
00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:24.480
<v Speaker 8>She pushes her market basket basket from where she lives

671
00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:27.239
<v Speaker 8>with all kinds of other elderly people up the street

672
00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:30.559
<v Speaker 8>all the time to go shopping in the morning. My

673
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:34.199
<v Speaker 8>question is this, it's winter. Isn't there any services to

674
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:36.719
<v Speaker 8>provide a ride to the elderly so they can show

675
00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:39.719
<v Speaker 8>like decent human beings where she doesn't have anybody in

676
00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:41.440
<v Speaker 8>her life, no family, nobody give.

677
00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Her ride, so she actually pushes the carriage you mean,

678
00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:49.079
<v Speaker 2>from from the store to her home.

679
00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:53.199
<v Speaker 8>She yeah, she keeps the carriage at her house and

680
00:35:53.239 --> 00:35:55.800
<v Speaker 8>she pushes it because she probably needs that for leverage,

681
00:35:55.840 --> 00:35:58.280
<v Speaker 8>you know, because after all you're older holding on to

682
00:35:58.360 --> 00:35:59.400
<v Speaker 8>something that's like a walker.

683
00:35:59.800 --> 00:35:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

684
00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:00.559
<v Speaker 1>You other thing?

685
00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:04.719
<v Speaker 2>Can I make a suggestion, Gary, go ahead, Why don't

686
00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:08.480
<v Speaker 2>you just someday when you see her ask her on

687
00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:11.679
<v Speaker 2>a bad weather day. I kind of imagine pushing a

688
00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:16.960
<v Speaker 2>shopping cart with the squeaky wheels in ice and snow.

689
00:36:18.079 --> 00:36:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Why not take it upon yourself to say to her, Hey,

690
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:23.480
<v Speaker 2>next time you need to go make your list, I'll

691
00:36:23.559 --> 00:36:25.559
<v Speaker 2>drive you there, I'll do my shopping, and i'll drive

692
00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:25.960
<v Speaker 2>you home.

693
00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:27.480
<v Speaker 9>Good point.

694
00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:29.920
<v Speaker 8>You're exactly right. But one thing is this there. When

695
00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:33.239
<v Speaker 8>I'm done cleaning offices and I'm done, like a combination

696
00:36:33.360 --> 00:36:36.800
<v Speaker 8>of five, six, seven o'clock in the morning, my number

697
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:39.639
<v Speaker 8>one thing is go to mocketbasket and get home right away.

698
00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:42.199
<v Speaker 8>I can't be shooting the breeze and set. I'm tired.

699
00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:46.360
<v Speaker 8>But I heard your suggestion. One more thing. The homeless. Okay,

700
00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:51.079
<v Speaker 8>the police, the fire departments who are out there. It

701
00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:54.679
<v Speaker 8>must be like mandatory if you see someone homeless and

702
00:36:54.719 --> 00:36:57.760
<v Speaker 8>they're out in this weather and so forth, they have

703
00:36:57.840 --> 00:36:59.800
<v Speaker 8>to be grabbing them, the police and say get the

704
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:07.159
<v Speaker 8>uh police. Uh.

705
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, first of all, they can't do that. They can

706
00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:12.159
<v Speaker 2>encourage them, but they can't threaten them with incarceration.

707
00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:19.320
<v Speaker 8>Talking about putting some somewhere for the nights, being outside.

708
00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:21.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, they do that in Boston, and they do it elsewhere,

709
00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:23.840
<v Speaker 2>and they try to encourage people, but there are people

710
00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:26.599
<v Speaker 2>out there who do not want to be in shelters. Gary,

711
00:37:26.639 --> 00:37:29.039
<v Speaker 2>I gotta keep going. Do that once with the woman,

712
00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:31.880
<v Speaker 2>pick out, one time with her, and you know what,

713
00:37:31.920 --> 00:37:33.119
<v Speaker 2>You'll have a friend for life.

714
00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:37.239
<v Speaker 8>Good point is all right?

715
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:40.800
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate better. All one candle to curse the darkness.

716
00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:43.159
<v Speaker 2>Thanks pal. Let's go next to Jack down to the

717
00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:44.239
<v Speaker 2>Cape Jack on Cape Cod.

718
00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:47.880
<v Speaker 9>Hey Jack, welcome, Hey Dan, You're awesome. That was a

719
00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:51.199
<v Speaker 9>super suggestion that we we need to look out for

720
00:37:51.239 --> 00:37:56.519
<v Speaker 9>each other. I really appreciate that. Regarding the current the

721
00:37:57.199 --> 00:38:05.639
<v Speaker 9>weather that we're experiencing, yes, it it really is indicative

722
00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:12.159
<v Speaker 9>of the weakening of the magnetosphere of Earth. That is

723
00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:16.039
<v Speaker 9>that that's the cause of this type weather that we're experiencing.

724
00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:22.440
<v Speaker 2>And I've never heard I've never heard that explanation. Jack.

725
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Are you a meteorologist in the navy.

726
00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:29.840
<v Speaker 9>That's what I was when I when I and.

727
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:32.239
<v Speaker 2>What and what is being weakened? Did you say? Could

728
00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:33.159
<v Speaker 2>could you repeat that?

729
00:38:33.960 --> 00:38:38.800
<v Speaker 9>The weakening of the magnetosphere of Earth. Now around Earth

730
00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:40.360
<v Speaker 9>we have the AWL.

731
00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:42.320
<v Speaker 2>How long has that been going on? What? What are

732
00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:44.719
<v Speaker 2>we talking about here? Something that's of recent development.

733
00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:51.360
<v Speaker 9>It's been you know, we've I've been watching it. It's

734
00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:56.199
<v Speaker 9>been a couple of years. But it's it's it's what

735
00:38:56.199 --> 00:39:02.400
<v Speaker 9>what What causes the oscillation of the or the disoscillation

736
00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:07.760
<v Speaker 9>of the jet stream? The magneto, the magnetosphere is this

737
00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:12.400
<v Speaker 9>kind of a shield around Earth. Without the magnetosphere, life

738
00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:13.679
<v Speaker 9>on Earth wouldn't exist.

739
00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:16.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so that that deflects rays of the Sun, is

740
00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:17.360
<v Speaker 2>what you're telling me?

741
00:39:18.719 --> 00:39:19.000
<v Speaker 9>Many?

742
00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:22.639
<v Speaker 2>Yes, the layer, it's kind of like the ozone layer.

743
00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:27.239
<v Speaker 9>You here's a thought I want you to file, and

744
00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:34.280
<v Speaker 9>let's use your producer. Let's find a real atmospheric scientist.

745
00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:38.719
<v Speaker 9>They can talk about the atmosphere from the surface of

746
00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:45.360
<v Speaker 9>the Earth into the outer space. You know they're out there, and.

747
00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:52.760
<v Speaker 2>Take that suggestion earth surface. Okay, sounds great. I jacked up,

748
00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:55.119
<v Speaker 2>flat up against it because I got the eleven o'clock news.

749
