  Speaker 1: Hemina. It took two hours, but I'm finally dry.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: In case you're wondering your pants got dry, Yeah, if
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: you weren't tuned in folks, about two hours ago, I
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: talked about this. By the way, it's one of six
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: pointy seven light FM. My name is Cubby in studio
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: and Nina del Rio working from home. But they put
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: me up in a hotel in Midtown, not far from
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: the radio station, and the hotel was on fifty fourth
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: and Broadway. We're located at fifty fifth and sixth. So
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I was walking here this morning, and actually some of
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: the sidewalks were pretty treacherous. So since no one was
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: on the road at four am when I'm walking in,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: it was four thirty. I was walking in, I walked
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: right in the middle of the street. So I walked
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: right in the middle Broadway, didn't see one car, didn't
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: have to dodge any cars. I turned right and started
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: walking down fifty fifth, right in the middle of the street,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: no cars at all. And then I get to our
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: building entrance and what did I see. Oh, there was
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: no real path to get from the street on to
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: you know, into the sidewalk into the building. So I
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: said you know what, I could probably just walk over
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: the snow bank. So I put the first foot in,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: my right foot. It was nice and sturdy, you know,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: all that sleep it was frozen. Oh, this is fine,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: It's like walking just over a dirt hill. And then
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I put my left foot in and then woof, I
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: went straight down and I had bags on my shoulders.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: So then I went face first, face first.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I caught myself, but I went face first, my nothing
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: but snow, my jeans and my and my stomach. And
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I'm like, here, I am in a push up position
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: on a sidewalk here by the front door of the building.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: And push out.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I I've done one push up today, thank you very much.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: But I came in here and like just soaking wet,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: and now I'm finally dry. It took two hours, but
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: uh oh that is rough.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you're feeling you were feeling good about yourself
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: walking down the street there's snow, nobody's around.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like some Will Smith movie, you know,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: it was like the end of the world. No one
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: was around. But then I didn't think about the whole
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: pathway from the street to the sidewalk. But anyway, finally dry,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: we have snowfall totals for you. Williamsburg, Brooklyn coming in
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: with twelve inches, Central Park eleven point four inches, Tenafly,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: New Jersey sixteen point three inches, a Caucus reporting twelve inches,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Newark Airport at eleven inches, Freehold eleven inches, New Fairfield,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Connecticut at fifteen inches. And this was officially New York
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: City's biggest snowstorm since twenty twenty one. It never was
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: a blizzard, though some people said we had a blizzard.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: It was not a blizzard. That's a pet peeve of mine.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: You need three hours of heavy snow and winds over
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: thirty five miles an hour. Now, we had some heavy
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: snow for a while, but it was never that windy,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: and it changed to sleet eventually, But it never was
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: a blizzard.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: So can you take it personally if someone calls it
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: a blizzard and it's just snow.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the same thing like when people call in
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: the summertime or actually know in the wintertime, they'll call
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: sleet hail, and a lot of people don't know that
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: haile is a summertime event. Hail really doesn't happen in
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the wintertime. It's sleep that you feel it's the sleep
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: that was on our face when we were walking yesterday,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: not hail. And I want people to know the difference
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: between hail and sleet. So now I'm getting in a tizzy.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Here your weather education right here on light FM. There's
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: all kinds of closures by the way out there. I
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: love your specificity though, just a couple of them, because
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: you're going to check in advance wherever you're going. The
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: JFK AirTrain is suspended this morning. New Jersey Transit is
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: ramping up their service. They'll start with bus routes at
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: ten am. Trains will be out for still a little
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: bit right now. There is a path service on a
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Saturday schedule. Some service is suspended on Metro North, like
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: the Waterbury branch. You want to check ahead of course
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: for all those things. And there's kind of going back
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: to what you were saying earlier, coming about falling in
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: the street. Fifty fifth Street where we work was plowed
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: three to six hours ago. So I guess how do
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: you know that? Because there's a website. This is actually
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: really cool. If you're in the Five boroughs, they set
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: something up called plow and YC. If you google plow
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: n YC. It's City of New York dot US, which
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: is the longer you are out, but you should just
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: be able to find it using plow NYC. They have
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: a grid of the entire city with a timeline of
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: how long ago your street was plowed, from zero hours
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: to thirty six hours, and they all look about one
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: to six hours, I mean relatively recently. Everything looks pretty good.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Or if they have that for New Jersey, that's a
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: great website. I love that they have. Right now, you
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: just see the five burrows.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Though, right, I have to say, you just see the
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: five boroughs. Not to dis New Jersey Transit workers, because
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I know they have a lot on their plates. But
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: met her North in l ir kept running New Jersey
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Transit's out right right right.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: So oh, when's the last time you had a good
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: plow like your street? Oh?
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Three am this morning, right before I came to the show.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: But that was taking care. That wasn't from a website.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: That was from you looking out the window.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: That was that was from they were plying our street
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: in the dark at three am. Woke us up.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Hey, one more note about the big storm. Olympic snowboarder
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Sean White, I don't know if you saw that, but
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, he was on Instagram actually, but people that
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: were in Central Park yesterday got a surprise appearance by
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: snowboarder Shawn White. And he was sitting there like doing
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: jumps in the middle of Central Park, right in the
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: middle of the storm yesterday.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: There's hills, there's rocks. He was flying off those. I mean,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: you know, he couldn't go very far. So many people
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: were around him with cameras. But that's kind of cool.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I wish somebody was out there with like a little
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: like a radio they could play like the Olympic theme,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: like they have a little they could do. Give him
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: a medal maybe at the very end, because he's quite
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: the snowboarder.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you that he didn't know he lived in
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: New York.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: I didn't either. Maybe he's just visiting. I don't know,
• 5:35
