4
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:17.519
<v Speaker 2>The storm today has left a lot of us with

5
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:20.440
<v Speaker 2>more than half a foot of snow, especially north of town.

00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.160
<v Speaker 3>Driving around, I've seen a lot of tired faces, but

8
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:30.640
<v Speaker 3>I had to stop when I saw some big smiles.

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:35.280
<v Speaker 4>So we're Kelly Reach Andolver. We're building a little hill

<v Speaker 4>to sled down, and then this is like the perfect

11
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.479
<v Speaker 4>type of snow for this kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

12
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:43.039
<v Speaker 4>So we're just trying to build it up as fast

13
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 4>as we can before they knock it down slowing. What

14
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:47.719
<v Speaker 4>do you like to do right now with all the snow?

00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Tufts and to Union. Shuttle service also continues due to

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 2>scheduled work along the Red Line south of Jfkumass. It

00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:04.000
<v Speaker 2>is Super Bowl Sunday.

<v Speaker 4>Squabble Lop Squabble Squabble.

40
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:10.400
<v Speaker 2>The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles go head to

41
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.759
<v Speaker 2>head for the championship in New Orleans Tonight. Kickoff is

42
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.479
<v Speaker 2>two and a half hours away. Kendrick Lamar headlines the

43
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:19.719
<v Speaker 2>halftime show. President Trump will be at the game, something

44
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.639
<v Speaker 2>no sitting president has ever done before, and when it

45
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.560
<v Speaker 2>comes to the wagers, it's not just the outcome. You

46
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.879
<v Speaker 2>can bet on this. WBCs Ema Friedman explains.

47
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.639
<v Speaker 3>This year Base eight sports betters can put their money

48
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.120
<v Speaker 3>on the coin toss, and Mario's getting in on the action.

49
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:36.080
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I have, actually, yeah, yeah, yeah, but I'm not

50
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:38.159
<v Speaker 4>sure which yeah, yeah, I think so, but I'm not

51
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:39.759
<v Speaker 4>sure which platform we're going to use.

52
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:44.400
<v Speaker 3>So the Massachusetts Gaming Commission says sports betting companies can

53
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.080
<v Speaker 3>offer wagers on whether the coin toss is heads or tails,

54
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.240
<v Speaker 3>who wins it, the Kansas City Chiefs or the Philadelphia Eagles,

55
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.520
<v Speaker 3>whether the coin toss winner wins the game, and if

56
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.039
<v Speaker 3>the visiting team correctly calls it. Joey tells me he's

57
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 3>keeping his money in his wallet and says his sports

58
00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 3>betting days are in the past.

59
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.039
<v Speaker 4>No, no more betting. Did it for a little bit

60
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:04.599
<v Speaker 4>when once those legalized, but no, we're staying away from that.

61

63
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.840
<v Speaker 3>Watch out if you're on the roads tonight or tomorrow morning.

64
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.599
<v Speaker 3>Those slushy or wet areas out there can refreeze. We're

65
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.120
<v Speaker 3>down to twenty three degrees in Boston tonight, as most

66
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.360
<v Speaker 3>inland spots, Sea tempts down in the mid teens. Tomorrow

67
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.439
<v Speaker 3>it is brisk and chilly, despite plenty of sunshine, Temps

68
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:32.280
<v Speaker 3>in the mid thirties. Then Tuesday, we see increasing clouds

69
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:35.080
<v Speaker 3>and a high around the freezing mark. A storm could

70
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.080
<v Speaker 3>bring some snow Tuesday night. We're looking at the potential

71
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:41.080
<v Speaker 3>right now for a round of inch a snow, potentially

72
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.439
<v Speaker 3>more toward the South Coast and Cape. Then Wednesday, it's

73
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.919
<v Speaker 3>a mix of clouds and sun, high around thirty and

74
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.400
<v Speaker 3>another storm headed our way for Wednesday night. This one

75
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:54.000
<v Speaker 3>appears to be stronger. There's the potential for snow, sleet,

76
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:57.680
<v Speaker 3>and freezing rain into Thursday morning, and we will continue

77
00:03:57.719 --> 00:03:59.479
<v Speaker 3>to keep an eye on that and bring you the

78
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:03.199
<v Speaker 3>latest on the system as it develops. Right now in Boston,

79
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.960
<v Speaker 3>it's thirty two degrees and mostly cloudy at four oh five.

80
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.000
<v Speaker 3>Hopefully you're bundled up out there. It feels like the

81
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:15.039
<v Speaker 3>upper twenties in Boston. Someone that wbz's Lorie Kirby ran

82
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.199
<v Speaker 3>into in the middle of the storm in Hull earlier

83
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:19.279
<v Speaker 3>shows us what not to.

84
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:23.560
<v Speaker 6>Do, covered many many a storm, But I've never seen

85
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:25.560
<v Speaker 6>a woman in a bikini in the snow.

86
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.319
<v Speaker 4>Turned the fon in a bikini at Nantasket Beach. Why

87
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:32.240
<v Speaker 4>the heck are you in a bikini, Karen?

88
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:36.279
<v Speaker 5>Nature's medicine, building grit and resiliency, doing hard things.

89
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 4>You gotta show up for yourself. And you went in

90
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.680
<v Speaker 4>the water today. Absolutely do miss a day. How did

91
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.120
<v Speaker 4>it feel? Feels like you're alive.

92
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.079
<v Speaker 5>You get a choice, you don't have to, you get

93
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:51.079
<v Speaker 5>to you make those choices. Aging is the aggressive pursuit

94
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:54.600
<v Speaker 5>of comfort. The more comfortable you get, the more you age.

95
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.399
<v Speaker 5>So I'm challenging myself. If you don't challenge yourself, you

96
00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:59.000
<v Speaker 5>don't change. You gotta do hard things.

97
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:03.040
<v Speaker 6>Okay, I think should change out of the bikini from Hull,

100
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:14.439
<v Speaker 2>It was nearly two hundred and fifty years ago. History

101
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.639
<v Speaker 2>was changed. With a climb up a steeple in the

102
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>North End.

103
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.279
<v Speaker 1>On the night of April eighteenth, seventeen seventy five, Robert

104
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:23.519
<v Speaker 1>Newman and Captain John Pulling Junior hung two lanterns at

105
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:26.199
<v Speaker 1>the top of Old North Steeple, telling midnight riders that

106
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:28.759
<v Speaker 1>the British were coming by sea. But that was the

107
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:29.360
<v Speaker 1>easy part.

108
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.480
<v Speaker 7>As they're making their way down the steeple, there are

109
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:36.519
<v Speaker 7>British regulars that are already at the front door, you know,

110
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.959
<v Speaker 7>I believe, like knocking and jostling and trying to get in.

111
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.439
<v Speaker 1>That's Old North Illuminated Executive director Nikki Stewart. Old North

112
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.160

113
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.439
<v Speaker 1>and fiftieth anniversary, including giving its third lantern ward to

114
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:53.279
<v Speaker 1>legendary documentarian Ken Burns. Stewart says it's the perfect time

115
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:55.439
<v Speaker 1>for locals to check out the history in their backyard.

116
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.199
<v Speaker 7>So many people tell me, oh, you work at Old

117
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.639
<v Speaker 7>North that's great. I went there in grade and like,

118
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.160
<v Speaker 7>this person may have gray hair when they tell me that.

119
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:08.000
<v Speaker 7>So I know that local folks don't take as much

120
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:12.040
<v Speaker 7>advantage of the sites along the Freedom Trail as they could.
