  Speaker 1: He's going to freeze just like that way like.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: This, it's freezing. It's freezing in freezing, freezing. It was
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: so cold, so cold, it's freezing out.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's cold here. But Nina, did you hear about
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: the Chicago Polar Plunge.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Did they do it?
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: They canceled it because it was too cold. The Polar
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Plunge was too cold. NVC Chicago said they canceled it
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: on Friday due to the extreme cold wind chills were
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: at negative thirty five degrees. But they had an after party,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and the after party actually raised money and over ninety
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars was raised to help local families in need.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: But I was just cracking up seeing that headline. Chicago's
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Polar Plunge canceled because it was well too cold to
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: be fair.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: To be fair, there is one on the North Fork,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: the North Fork Polar Bear Plunge in Mattatuck. They actually
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: moved it to next Sunday.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna say they did it. I'm like, yeah,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: take that, Chicago.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Well, you know it's funny. Yesterday when I was doing
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the show, I looked it up and so at least
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: one of the guys did it like on their own
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: because they were talking about they had to hammer through
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: the ice to get in and which sounded which sounded insane.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: So I mentioned that on air, but as a group
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: they did not go. They decided to postpone it. So
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: first for the safety of the spectators, I get it.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: It's also it was really cold. I know, legit so cold.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And it's going to remain cold here in the Tri
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: State area. I mean, I saw where we may hit
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: thirty three next Tuesday, not tomorrow, next Tuesday, and I
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: said this a moment ago. You know, sometimes we'll get
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: one of these storms in the next day it's like
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: forty two and you're like, all right, get a little
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: melting going on, but it's not going anywhere anytime soon.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: But there is something about I think yesterday, at least
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: early before the sleet started, the snow was so cold
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: as the snow was really light, so it was like
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: shoveling feathers, like there wasn't any weight to it. The colder,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: it stays. If I somebody's going to know the answer,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: But I think the colder stays like the lighter the
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: snow stays, so maybe that's not the worst thing.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Well, you're right, except we had the sleep come in. Yeah,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and that's all because and you know, it's amazing how
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: enough warm air infiltrated that we got the sleep because
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: it remained around twenty degrees all day on the surface.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: But all you had to do was go five thousand
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: or ten thousand feet up in the atmosphere and there
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: was enough of a warm layer of air that that
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: affected the sleep. That's why we had the sleep. So
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: it wasn't like it was above thirty two or around
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: thirty two on the surface. It was that little layer
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: of air about five or ten thousand feet that warmed
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: it up just a bit, and that's what caused the sleep.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: That is some real signs there, copy.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Oh, I have updated totals by
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the way. Oh great, all right, did you bet on
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: any of these cities and their totals?
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I wish I had put money down. We should have
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: betting for that, all right.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Well, if you took Washington Heights at fourteen point nine inches,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you would have been right on of Williamsburg, Brooklyn with
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: twelve inches, Central Park eleven point four inches ten a
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Fly had sixteen point three inches, a Caucus with twelve inches,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Newark reporting ten point eight inches, Freehold eleven inches, ice
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Lip twelve inches, new Fairfield, Connecticut fifteen inches. And this
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: was officially New York City's biggest snowstorm since twenty twenty one.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: And that's pretty impressive because I kind of thought maybe
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: he had to be over fifteen or twenty inches to
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: really kind of break into that like top five. But yeah,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: it's considered one of the top five biggest storms in
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the last maybe ten years.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: And so far we haven't heard of anything unexpected as
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: far as roadways closed or anything like that. It's kind
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: of the normal stuff. So it looks like the sanitation
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: has done a pretty good job. But I would also
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: say it's January twenty sixth, it's not like March twenty sixth.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: We have a lot of winter to go.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: We do. Thank you, thank you for that reminder. Groundholl
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Day by the way, coming up in what a week
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: next week? A week?
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's true.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: You know that thing, you know, is that don a
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: chuck even a thing anymore? But I know Phil will
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: probably see his shadow.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I know they were having trouble finding groundhogs
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: to do it in New Jersey, so we'll see if
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: they do it well.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: We'll find out next week exactly all right. We have
