0:00
Speaker 1: Well, I fell in a snow bank on my way
0:01
Speaker 1: into work today. How's your morning going? There one a
0:03
Speaker 1: six point seven LIGHTFM. It's Cubby Nina and for Christine
0:07
Speaker 1: full disclosure, I am in studio. Nina's at home, so
0:09
Speaker 1: hopefully our timing will be down. But you hear me, okay, right,
0:11
Speaker 1: Nina de Rio? Did I just jinx it? Nina del Rio?
0:18
Speaker 2: Oh?
0:19
Speaker 1: Wait? Wait, there you are here. I'm sorry. You know what? Hi,
0:21
Speaker 1: I had the wrong button. Sorry, you were there the
0:23
Speaker 1: whole time, right, it was all me.
0:25
Speaker 2: But I'm just listening to you talk and you fell
0:27
Speaker 2: in a snow bank.
0:28
Speaker 1: You heard that right? Yeah? So they put me in
0:31
Speaker 1: a hotel about a block and a half away here
0:33
Speaker 1: from the radio station. So walking from the hotel here
0:37
Speaker 1: around four fifty five this morning, it was easier to
0:39
Speaker 1: walk right down the middle of the street. So I
0:42
Speaker 1: walked right in the middle of Broadway and then I
0:44
Speaker 1: turned right, and then I walked right down I believe
0:47
Speaker 1: it was ye net Wait, fifty fifth. I turned right
0:50
Speaker 1: on fifty fifth and I'm walking right in the middle
0:53
Speaker 1: of the street. There are no cars around. And then
0:55
Speaker 1: right when I got to the doors of our building,
0:57
Speaker 1: I realized Wow. They didn't of a pathway to get
1:01
Speaker 1: to the sidewalk, so just mounds of snow. So I said, oh,
1:05
Speaker 1: you know what, it's so cold, it's probably pretty sturdy,
1:08
Speaker 1: probably pretty frozen. I'll just walk right over it. Well,
1:10
Speaker 1: first step was fine, second step, my right foot just
1:13
Speaker 1: went right down to the bottom, and then I had
1:16
Speaker 1: luggage kind of on my shoulders from the hotel, and
1:18
Speaker 1: so I fell forward. It just went straight down and
1:22
Speaker 1: caught myself with both hands, and I had snow my
1:24
Speaker 1: jeans all up my jacket. My jeans are finally now
1:27
Speaker 1: just getting somewhat dry. But yeah, that was my entry
1:31
Speaker 1: into the building today. So lots of fun.
1:33
Speaker 2: Oh dude, that is rough.
1:35
Speaker 1: I mean, it's amazing, just like how it was eleven
1:40
Speaker 1: inches I think total, but you would it feels like
1:42
Speaker 1: it was like twenty eight inches. There's still no blacktop
1:45
Speaker 1: on a lot of the streets here in Manhattan. They
1:47
Speaker 1: have a lot of work to do. I know they're
1:48
Speaker 1: on it, but there's definitely a good thing to be home.
1:52
Speaker 1: If you can be home, try to do that like
1:54
Speaker 1: you are right now, and you've got a lot of snow.
1:56
Speaker 1: I saw your story on Instagram yesterday and you're in
1:59
Speaker 1: North Jersey, you were getting up pumpled over there.
2:02
Speaker 2: Well, to be a full disclosure, that video I took
2:05
Speaker 2: was probably like ten o'clock in the morning because we
2:08
Speaker 2: tried to shovel in shifts right, there was so much
2:10
Speaker 2: snow right. We did a little at a time, and
2:11
Speaker 2: if anybody shoveled in shifts your way ahead of the
2:14
Speaker 2: game because it's heavy. And then in the evening it
2:16
Speaker 2: was you could hear sleet for like two hours. All
2:18
Speaker 2: during the second football game, we heard sleep you know.
2:21
Speaker 2: So there's like a there's like a crusty, beautiful top
2:24
Speaker 2: on top of all the snow in these drifts, so
2:26
Speaker 2: it looks beautiful, but it's like got ice on the top,
2:29
Speaker 2: which that probably contributed, Yeah, and to some of you
2:32
Speaker 2: falling right, because people are gonna slip on that stuff.
2:36
Speaker 2: It's really rough out there.
2:37
Speaker 1: I'll try to get the video and put it up
2:38
Speaker 1: on light of HM dot com. It's pretty funny. I think.
2:40
Speaker 1: Here are your snow totals what we have so far.
2:43
Speaker 1: Washington Heights reporting fourteen point nine inches, Williamsburg, Brooklyn at
2:49
Speaker 1: twelve inches, Central Park eleven and a half inches. Ten
2:52
Speaker 1: Afly had sixteen point three inches, so Caucus at twelve inches,
2:56
Speaker 1: Newark at ten point eight inches. Some of these are
2:59
Speaker 1: just coming in Freehold at eleven inches. I slip Airport,
3:03
Speaker 1: Long Island got hit pretty hard, twelve point one inches. Look,
3:05
Speaker 1: we all got hit pretty hard. It's our biggest snowstorm
3:07
Speaker 1: since twenty twenty one and MTA subways will be running
3:13
Speaker 1: a normal Monday morning rush hour schedule and MTA buses
3:17
Speaker 1: will run near normal service on Monday, but Metro North
3:20
Speaker 1: will operate on an enhanced Saturday schedule and l Double
3:23
Speaker 1: R will operate on a weekend schedule for today. Lots
3:26
Speaker 1: of remote learning going on, which I feel. I feel
3:28
Speaker 1: kind of bad for the kids that don't have a
3:30
Speaker 1: really pure snow day, right, they don't get it the
3:33
Speaker 1: whole day off. They have to do remote learning.
3:35
Speaker 2: Now you have to just look at the snow from indoors,
3:38
Speaker 2: and you know, feel.
3:39
Speaker 1: Sad things have changed since we were kids, right, absolutely,
3:43
Speaker 1: all right, coming up, we have two pretty cool things.
3:45
Speaker 1: We'll keep you updated. All things snow. We're here for you.
3:48
Speaker 1: It's one of six point seven Light FB.
3:51
Speaker 3: More Covey and Christine and the great music variety you expect.
3:54
Speaker 3: Next on Light a f them.
3:56
Speaker 2: Okay, I need to tell you two thy Coby Christine's
4:01
Speaker 2: two pretty cool things.
4:03
Speaker 1: Well, Nina, I don't know if they're open today, but
4:05
Speaker 1: producer Kristen told me about a spot that is so
4:08
Speaker 1: cool you can actually eat dinner in your grandma's a
4:11
Speaker 1: living room at a New Jersey restaurant. It's a vintage
4:14
Speaker 1: spot called Cassano Pizza Parlor. Cassano Pizza Parlor. It's in
4:20
Speaker 1: Rutherford and you walk in and they have a whole
4:23
Speaker 1: bunch of nostalgic vibes. They have an old school decor.
4:27
Speaker 1: They have a CRT television set, VHS tapes you can
4:30
Speaker 1: put in videos you eat on TV. Dinner tables, lawn
4:34
Speaker 1: chairs are around, they have a pac Man And again
4:37
Speaker 1: this is in Rutherford, New Jersey at eight Highland Cross
4:41
Speaker 1: in Rutherford. And not to mention, they have Chicken Palm,
4:44
Speaker 1: which I'll go there anyway, but they have a nice
4:46
Speaker 1: floral couch that's cushy. So yeah, it looks like nineteen
4:50
Speaker 1: seventy five. You gotta check it out.
4:52
Speaker 2: The TV table thing. I spent my youth eating off
4:55
Speaker 2: TV tables like that's fantastic.
4:57
Speaker 1: My dad on Sunday nights would be like six ten
5:00
Speaker 1: minutes is on. I'm meeting in the living room with
5:04
Speaker 1: his chair in the whole Yeah, TV stand, what do
5:07
Speaker 1: you call it?
5:07
Speaker 2: The TV TV tray?
5:09
Speaker 1: TV tray stand? Yeah? Yeah, what's your cool thing?
5:12
Speaker 2: So massive snowstorms can actually change history. This is New
5:16
Speaker 2: York history change in the world because of a blizzard
5:18
Speaker 2: in eighteen eighty eight. There was so much snow thirty
5:22
Speaker 2: foot snow drifts stranded passengers between the elevated railroad stations,
5:26
Speaker 2: and that pushed plans for a subway system, Let's go
5:29
Speaker 2: below ground. In addition, because the heavy petticoats made it
5:33
Speaker 2: so difficult for women to get through the snow, petticoats
5:36
Speaker 2: soon became a thing of the past, all because of
5:39
Speaker 2: the city blizzard in eighteen eighty eight.
5:41
Speaker 1: It's a pretty cool history lesson right there.
5:43
Speaker 2: I think so too.
5:44
Speaker 1: We're coming right back. More variety from the eighties through today.
5:47
Speaker 3: More Covey and Christine in the great music variety you expect.
5:50
Speaker 2: Next on light F them want.
5:52
Speaker 1: To six point seven Light FM, Covey and Nina and
5:54
Speaker 1: for Christine this morning producer Kristin Workin. We're all doing
5:57
Speaker 1: a little something something here and there I'm in studio,
6:00
Speaker 1: Nina's at home, Kristen working from home, and I think
6:02
Speaker 1: most people are working from home, especially the kids with
6:05
Speaker 1: that remote learning going on today. Hey, if you suffer
6:08
Speaker 1: from anxiety, I hope you didn't watch that Netflix skyscraper
6:11
Speaker 1: live on Saturday night. You heard about that, Nina. I
6:14
Speaker 1: watched it.
6:14
Speaker 2: Actually I saw the good part. I saw the end
6:17
Speaker 2: when he survives. I didn't have to deal with the
6:19
Speaker 2: stress of watching him go out.
6:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, a guy named Alex Honald he successfully climbed a
6:24
Speaker 1: one hundred and one story skyscraper without any ropes or harnesses,
6:28
Speaker 1: and he did it a little over ninety minutes. It
6:32
Speaker 1: happened in Taipei in Taiwan, and Netflix said safety remains
6:38
Speaker 1: their top priority, even though the event was promoted as
6:41
Speaker 1: no ropes, no safety net, no second takes. So I'm
6:44
Speaker 1: not sure what they mean by the whole safety thing,
6:46
Speaker 1: but apparently he had nothing and the Netflix stream, however,
6:50
Speaker 1: did have a ten second delay just in case of
6:54
Speaker 1: a worst case scenario. Actually, Saturday night, my wife and
6:57
Speaker 1: I had it on. I actually came to the city
6:59
Speaker 1: on Saturday night to get ready for the storm, but
7:01
Speaker 1: we had it on for a minute before I left,
7:03
Speaker 1: and right when I walked out of the room, I
7:05
Speaker 1: heard her change the channel. I said, you're not gonna no,
7:07
Speaker 1: you're not gonna finish it. She's like, no, it gives
7:09
Speaker 1: me anxiety. I'm having a panic attack. Just let me
7:12
Speaker 1: know if he dies. Oh my god, honey, no, no,
7:16
Speaker 1: And he's fine, he's fine. But I mean a lot
7:19
Speaker 1: of people couldn't watch it. They were just like biting
7:20
Speaker 1: their nails.
7:21
Speaker 2: Well, I mean the fact that they had a ten
7:23
Speaker 2: second delay, it's like they want to keep it safe
7:25
Speaker 2: for them, right, So what would even happen? You have
7:27
Speaker 2: a ten second delay, that would be the most You'd
7:30
Speaker 2: be like the Sopranos going off, but ten times worse.
7:32
Speaker 2: Right if it went dark?
7:33
Speaker 1: Oh my god, yeah, you would probably know the worst
7:36
Speaker 1: did happen? And thankfully it did. And don't worry. He
7:39
Speaker 1: got compensated, the guy that did this, Alex, he got
7:43
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars for doing it. He said he
7:46
Speaker 1: would have done it for free. I wonder if you'll
7:49
Speaker 1: get a lifetime subscription from Netflix. You know, technically he
7:52
Speaker 1: should get that too. In addition to that half million dollars.
7:54
Speaker 2: Absolutely, five hundred thousand does not seem like enough.
7:58
Speaker 1: Frankly, anyway, how much.
8:00
Speaker 2: Things, how expensive things are, five hundred thousand, it is like,
8:02
Speaker 2: you know, a couple of fat trips.
8:04
Speaker 1: It should be a yeah, closer to a million, I think.
8:05
Speaker 1: But he did it, and I'm sure it's If you
8:07
Speaker 1: didn't watch it, you can probably go to Netflix. I'm
8:09
Speaker 1: sure that you can watch the rewind of that. But
8:12
Speaker 1: what were you watching over the weekend?
8:14
Speaker 2: I was, well, I watched football. I never have watched
8:17
Speaker 2: so much football. By the way, as I watched this weekend,
8:19
Speaker 2: I kind of like the snow we were watching them
8:21
Speaker 2: slip a little bit at the end.
8:23
Speaker 1: I just can't believe how quickly the weather changed in Denver. Yeah,
8:25
Speaker 1: during warm ups it was sunny, and then after halftime, boom,
8:29
Speaker 1: it was a full blown blizzard like almost here.
8:31
Speaker 2: For people who don't watch football, it was entertaining, so
8:34
Speaker 2: so I didn't mind it at all.
8:35
Speaker 1: And we have our two Super Bowl teams Patriots versus
8:39
Speaker 1: Seahawks in two weeks and again props to producer Kristin
8:43
Speaker 1: who picked both games yesterday correctly. What a six pointy
8:46
Speaker 1: seven light.
8:46
Speaker 3: FM more Cuby and Christine and the Great Music variety
8:50
Speaker 3: you expect. Next on Light at them.
8:52
Speaker 1: Next fifty one. As we attempt to dig out here
8:54
Speaker 1: one O six pointy seven Light FM, Cubby and Nina
8:57
Speaker 1: is in for Christine. We got producer Kristen working for
9:00
Speaker 1: us from home. Some of us are at home, some
9:02
Speaker 1: of us are here. Either way, we are on the
9:05
Speaker 1: air giving all the info we can that we have
9:08
Speaker 1: to you. And I have one pet Peeve though Nina
9:11
Speaker 1: do rio. Some people on Facebook and Twitter or ex
9:15
Speaker 1: whatever it's called Instagram, they're like, man, what a blizzard
9:18
Speaker 1: we were having here in New York City. Yes, we
9:21
Speaker 1: did have a big winter storm, but it was never
9:23
Speaker 1: technically a blizzard. A blizzard do you know the parameters
9:27
Speaker 1: for a blizzard? Do you know what the other You
9:30
Speaker 1: need heavy snow and winds at at least thirty five
9:34
Speaker 1: miles an hour for over three hours, and we never
9:37
Speaker 1: really had that threshold. We had some, you know, breezy conditions,
9:41
Speaker 1: but it never was like gusting over forty miles an
9:43
Speaker 1: hour and then yeah it changed a sleep and it
9:47
Speaker 1: would never technically was a blizzard.
9:49
Speaker 2: But the technically it's also was not enjoyable, like if
9:52
Speaker 2: you were out there trying to shovel. It was sleep
9:54
Speaker 2: in your face after like two o'clock.
9:56
Speaker 1: You are correct. I was walking through the city and
9:58
Speaker 1: the like the little pellets, we're hitting you right in
10:01
Speaker 1: the face. I saw a couple of door Dash people
10:04
Speaker 1: on their e bikes like having a tough time, and
10:08
Speaker 1: lo and behold. Door Dash has suspended operations in New
10:11
Speaker 1: York City and the surrounding areas in response to this
10:14
Speaker 1: big winter storm. A spokesperson said, operations we'll resume at
10:17
Speaker 1: ten am, depending on ground conditions. So ten am, no
10:21
Speaker 1: door Dash. And then you got the whole commute thing going.
10:25
Speaker 1: If you are, you know, having to go out, how
10:27
Speaker 1: do people get around Nina.
10:29
Speaker 2: It's a challenge right now. Mass Transit is kind of
10:32
Speaker 2: you know, hit or mis depending on where you go.
10:34
Speaker 2: The subway did not stop running. They advanced announced in
10:36
Speaker 2: advance they would not stop, but of course they were
10:38
Speaker 2: all kinds of changes. Long Island Railroad and Metro North
10:41
Speaker 2: are on weekend schedules today. New Jersey Transit is starting
10:44
Speaker 2: back up in a rolling pattern, but they won't resume
10:48
Speaker 2: service until after the rush today. If you have to
10:51
Speaker 2: go to the airport, and I don't know why you
10:52
Speaker 2: would want to go to the airport today. Actually, service
10:55
Speaker 2: is suspended on the AirTrain at JFK. Some ferries are
10:59
Speaker 2: suspended because it's you know, frozen down there on the docks,
11:02
Speaker 2: so they're not running any of that stuff. You have
11:04
Speaker 2: a lot to check in advance before you go anywhere.
11:06
Speaker 2: But maybe you just get lucky and don't have to
11:07
Speaker 2: go anywhere.
11:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully you can stay home and you're listening to
11:11
Speaker 1: us on your smart speaker or your old fashioned radio. Again,
11:14
Speaker 1: we'll be providing you all the variety from the eighties
11:17
Speaker 1: through today.
11:18
Speaker 3: More Covey and Christine and the great music variety you expect.
11:21
Speaker 2: Next Onlight at them.
11:22
Speaker 1: Nineteen degrees, currently headed to a high of twenty eight degrees.
11:26
Speaker 4: He's going to freeze, just like that in way like this.
11:29
Speaker 1: It's freezing.
11:30
Speaker 2: It's freezing, really in freezing, freezing. It was so cold,
11:34
Speaker 2: so cold, it's freezing out.
11:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's cold here. But Nina, did you hear about
11:41
Speaker 1: the Chicago polar Plunge?
11:43
Speaker 2: Did they do it?
11:45
Speaker 1: They canceled it because it was too cold. The polar plunge,
11:48
Speaker 1: what's too cold? NVC Chicago said they canceled it on
11:54
Speaker 1: Friday due to the extreme cold wind chills were at
11:56
Speaker 1: negative thirty five degrees. But they had an after party,
12:00
Speaker 1: and the after party actually raised money and over ninety
12:04
Speaker 1: thousand dollars was raised to help local families in need.
12:07
Speaker 1: But I was just cracking up seeing that headline Chicago's
12:10
Speaker 1: polar Plunge canceled because it was well too cold to
12:13
Speaker 1: be fair.
12:14
Speaker 2: To be fair, there is one on the North Fork,
12:16
Speaker 2: the North Fork Polar Bear Plunge in Matta Tuck. They
12:20
Speaker 2: actually moved it to next Sunday break that.
12:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna say they did it. I'm like, yeah,
12:25
Speaker 1: take that, Chicago.
12:26
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's funny. Yesterday when I was doing
12:28
Speaker 2: the show, I looked it up and so at least
12:31
Speaker 2: one of the guys did it, like on their own,
12:33
Speaker 2: because they were talking about they had to hammer through
12:34
Speaker 2: the ice to get in and which sounded which sounded insane.
12:38
Speaker 2: So I mentioned that on air, but as a group
12:40
Speaker 2: they did not go. They decided to postpone it. So
12:43
Speaker 2: first for the safety of the spectators, I get it.
12:45
Speaker 2: It's also it was really cold. I'm legit so cold.
12:50
Speaker 1: And it's going to remain cold here in the Tri
12:52
Speaker 1: State area. I mean, I saw where we may hit
12:55
Speaker 1: thirty three next tuesday, not tomorrow, next tuesday. And I
13:00
Speaker 1: said this a moment ago. You know, sometimes we'll get
13:02
Speaker 1: one of these storms and the next day it's like
13:04
Speaker 1: forty two and you're like, all right, get a little
13:06
Speaker 1: melting going on, but it's not going anywhere anytime soon.
13:09
Speaker 2: But there is something about I think yesterday, at least
13:12
Speaker 2: early before the sleet started, the snow was so cold,
13:15
Speaker 2: as the snow was really light, so it was like
13:17
Speaker 2: shoveling feathers, like there wasn't any weight to it. The
13:19
Speaker 2: colder it stays. If I somebody's going to know the answer,
13:22
Speaker 2: but I think the colder it stays, like the lighter
13:24
Speaker 2: the snow stays. So maybe that's not the worst thing.
13:26
Speaker 1: Well, you're right, except we had the sleep come in. Yeah,
13:29
Speaker 1: and that's all because and you know, it's amazing how
13:32
Speaker 1: enough warm air infiltrated that we got the sleep because
13:36
Speaker 1: it remained around twenty degrees all day on the surface,
13:39
Speaker 1: but all you had to do was go five thousand
13:41
Speaker 1: or ten thousand feet up in the atmosphere and there
13:43
Speaker 1: was enough of a warm layer of air that that
13:47
Speaker 1: affected the sleep. That's why we had the sleep. So
13:50
Speaker 1: it wasn't like it was above thirty two or around
13:52
Speaker 1: thirty two on the surface. It was that little layer
13:55
Speaker 1: of air about five or ten thousand feet that warmed
13:58
Speaker 1: it up just a bit, and that's what caused the sleep.
14:00
Speaker 2: That is some real signs there, copy, Thank.
14:02
Speaker 1: You very much. Oh, I have updated totals by the way.
14:06
Speaker 1: Oh great, all right, did you bet on any of
14:08
Speaker 1: these cities in their totals?
14:10
Speaker 2: I wish I had put money down. We should have
14:12
Speaker 2: betting for that.
14:12
Speaker 1: All right. Well, if you took Washington Heights at fourteen
14:15
Speaker 1: point nine inches, he would have been right on Williamsburg,
14:18
Speaker 1: Brooklyn with twelve inches, Central Park eleven point four inches,
14:23
Speaker 1: ten a Fly had sixteen point three inches, a Caucus
14:26
Speaker 1: with twelve inches, Newark reporting ten point eight inches, Freehold
14:29
Speaker 1: eleven inches, Ice Lip twelve inches, New Fairfield, Connecticut fifteen inches.
14:34
Speaker 1: And this was officially New York City's biggest snowstorm since
14:37
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. And that's pretty impressive because I kind
14:43
Speaker 1: of thought maybe you had to be over fifteen or
14:45
Speaker 1: twenty inches to really kind of break into that top five.
14:48
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's considered one of the top five biggest
14:50
Speaker 1: storms in the last maybe ten years and.
14:53
Speaker 2: So far we haven't heard of anything unexpected as far
14:56
Speaker 2: as roadways closed or anything like that. It's kind of
14:57
Speaker 2: the normal stuff. So it looks like the sanitation has
14:59
Speaker 2: done a pretty good job. But I would also say
15:01
Speaker 2: it's January twenty sixth, it's not like March twenty sixth.
15:05

20:15
Speaker 1: It took two hours, but I'm finally dry.
20:17
Speaker 2: In case you're wondering your pants got dry.
20:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you weren't tuned in folks, about two hours ago,
20:22
Speaker 1: I talked about this. By the way, it's one of
20:23
Speaker 1: six pointy seven light a f M. My name is
20:25
Speaker 1: Coby in studio and Nina del Rio working from home.
20:28
Speaker 1: But they put me up in a hotel in Midtown,
20:30
Speaker 1: not far from the radio station, and the hotel was
20:33
Speaker 1: on fifty fourth and Broadway. We're located at fifty fifth
20:36
Speaker 1: and sixth. So I was walking here this morning, and
20:40
Speaker 1: actually some of the sidewalks were pretty treacherous. So since
20:43
Speaker 1: no one was on the road at four am when
20:45
Speaker 1: I'm walking in, it was four thirty. I was walking in,
20:47
Speaker 1: I walked right in the middle of the street. So
20:50
Speaker 1: I walked right in the middle Broadway, didn't see one car,
20:53
Speaker 1: didn't have to dodge any cars. I turned right and
20:57
Speaker 1: started walking down fifty fifth, right in the middle the street,
21:00
Speaker 1: no cars at all. And then I get to our
21:03
Speaker 1: building entrance and what did I What did I see? Oh,
21:07
Speaker 1: there was no real path to get from the street
21:10
Speaker 1: onto you know, into the sidewalk on into the building.
21:14
Speaker 1: So I said, you know what, I could probably just
21:16
Speaker 1: walk over the snow bank. So I put the first
21:19
Speaker 1: foot in, my right foot. It was nice and sturdy,
21:22
Speaker 1: you know, all that sleep it was frozen. Oh this
21:24
Speaker 1: is fine. It's like walking just over a dirt hill.
21:27
Speaker 1: And then I put my left foot in and then woof,
21:29
Speaker 1: I went straight down and I had bags on my shoulders.
21:33
Speaker 1: So then I went face first, face first. I caught myself,
21:37
Speaker 1: but I went face first. My nothing but snow, my
21:40
Speaker 1: jeans and my and my stomach. And I'm like, here,
21:43
Speaker 1: I am in a push up position on a sidewalk
21:47
Speaker 1: here by the front door of the building. And I
21:50
Speaker 1: did I've done one push up today, thank you very much.
21:55
Speaker 1: But I came in here and like just soaking wet,
21:58
Speaker 1: and now I'm finally dry. It took two hours, but oh.
22:00
Speaker 2: That is rough. Yeah, but you're you're feeling good about yourself.
22:03
Speaker 2: Walking down the street there's snow, nobody's around.
22:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like some Will Smith movie, you know,
22:09
Speaker 1: it was like the end of the world. No one
22:10
Speaker 1: was around. But then I didn't think about the whole
22:13
Speaker 1: pathway from the street to the sidewalk. But anyway, finally dry.
22:17
Speaker 1: We have snowfall totals for you Williamsburg, Brooklyn coming in
22:21
Speaker 1: with twelve inches, Central Park eleven point four inches, ten
22:25
Speaker 1: to Fly, New Jersey sixteen point three inches, a Caucus
22:28
Speaker 1: reporting twelve inches, Newark Airport at eleven inches, Freehold eleven inches,
22:34
Speaker 1: New Fairfield, Connecticut at fifteen inches. And this was officially
22:37
Speaker 1: New York City's biggest snowstorm since twenty twenty one. It
22:41
Speaker 1: never was a blizzard, though some people said we had
22:43
Speaker 1: a blizzard, It was not a blizzard. That's a pet
22:46
Speaker 1: peeve of mine. You need three hours of heavy snow
22:49
Speaker 1: and winds over thirty five miles an hour. Now, we
22:52
Speaker 1: had some heavy snow for a while, but it was
22:53
Speaker 1: never that windy, and it changed to sleet eventually, but
22:57
Speaker 1: it never was a blizzard.
22:58
Speaker 2: So you take it personally if someone called that a
23:00
Speaker 2: blizzard and it's just snow.
23:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the same thing like when people call in
23:04
Speaker 1: the summertime or actually know in the wintertime, they'll call
23:07
Speaker 1: sleet hail, and a lot of people don't know that
23:10
Speaker 1: hale is a summertime event. Hale really doesn't happen in
23:13
Speaker 1: the wintertime. It's sleep that you feel. It's the sleep
23:15
Speaker 1: that was on our face when we were walking yesterday,
23:18
Speaker 1: not hale, and I want people to know the difference
23:21
Speaker 1: between hail and sleet. So now I'm getting in a tizzy.
23:23
Speaker 2: Here your weather education right here on light FM. There's
23:28
Speaker 2: all kinds of closures by the way out there. I
23:30
Speaker 2: love your specificity though, just a couple of them, because
23:33
Speaker 2: you're going to check in advance wherever you're going. The
23:36
Speaker 2: JFK AirTrain is suspended this morning. New Jersey Transit is
23:40
Speaker 2: ramping up their service. They'll start with bus routes at
23:43
Speaker 2: ten am. Trains will be out for still a little
23:45
Speaker 2: bit right now. There is a path service on a
23:47
Speaker 2: Saturday schedule. Some service is suspended on Metro North, like
23:51
Speaker 2: the Waterbury brand. You want to check ahead of course
23:53
Speaker 2: for all those things. And there's kind of going back
23:56
Speaker 2: to what you were saying earlier coming about falling in
23:58
Speaker 2: the street. Fifty fifth Street where we work was plowed
24:01
Speaker 2: three to six hours ago. So I guess how do
24:04
Speaker 2: you know that? Because there's a website. This is actually
24:07
Speaker 2: really cool. If you're in the Five boroughs. They set
24:09
Speaker 2: something up called plow and YC. If you google plow
24:13
Speaker 2: n YC, it's plow NYC, Cityofnew York dot us, which
24:17
Speaker 2: is the longer you are out, but you should just
24:18
Speaker 2: be able to find it. Using plow NYC. They have
24:20
Speaker 2: a grid of the entire city with a timeline of
24:24
Speaker 2: how long ago your street was plowed, from zero hours
24:28
Speaker 2: to thirty six hours, and they all look about one
24:32
Speaker 2: to six hours, I mean relatively recently. Everything looks pretty good.
24:37
Speaker 1: Or if they have that for New Jersey, that's a
24:38
Speaker 1: great website. I love that. Right now, you just see
24:40
Speaker 1: the five burrows.
24:41
Speaker 2: Though, right I have to say, you just see the
24:43
Speaker 2: five boroughs. Not to dis New Jersey Transit workers, because
24:46
Speaker 2: I know they have a lot on their plates, but
24:47
Speaker 2: Metro North and LR kept running New Jersey Transit's out right, right.
24:51
Speaker 1: So oh, when's the last time you had a good
24:54
Speaker 1: plow like your street?
24:56
Speaker 4: Oh?
24:57
Speaker 2: Three am this morning, right before I came to the show.
25:00
Speaker 1: That was a take. That wasn't from a website. That
25:02
Speaker 1: was from you looking out the window.
25:03
Speaker 2: That was that was from they were plying our street
25:06
Speaker 2: in the dark at three am. Woke us up.
25:08
Speaker 1: Hey, one more note about the big storm. Olympic snowboarder
25:11
Speaker 1: Shawn White. I don't know if you saw that, but yeah,
25:14
Speaker 1: he was on Instagram actually, but people that were in
25:17
Speaker 1: Central Park yesterday got a surprise appearance by snowboarder Shawn White.
25:21
Speaker 1: And he was sitting there like doing jumps in the
25:24
Speaker 1: middle of Central Park, right in the middle of the
25:25
Speaker 1: storm yesterday.
25:26
Speaker 2: There's hills, there's rocks. He was flying off those. I mean,
25:30
Speaker 2: you know, he couldn't go very far. So many people
25:31
Speaker 2: were around him with cameras. But that's kind of cool.
25:33
Speaker 1: I wish somebody was out there with like a little
25:35
Speaker 1: like a radio. They could play like the Olympic theme,
25:37
Speaker 1: like they have a little they could do give him
25:41
Speaker 1: a medal maybe at the very end, because he's quite
25:44
Speaker 1: the snowboarder.
25:45
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that he didn't know he lived in
25:46
Speaker 2: New York.
25:47
Speaker 1: I didn't either. Maybe he's just visiting. I don't know,
25:49
Speaker 1: but I will tell you this. Can we talk about
25:50
Speaker 1: something a lot warmer?
