01877469432218774694322. That's the toll free number of the Howie -- sure if you like to join us here this afternoon every weekday afternoon. We're joined in the studio now by Josh judge she is the weatherman on channel line up in a Manchester, New Hampshire WE -- TV. And also Misch Michaels -- one of -- all -- my help I'm from the front whether. Whether women for much from Boston. And I guess this is sort of a chill seven reunions we were all there are there at different times and are -- in our careers. I guess it you know not everyone that everything your career can't be. A total path upward and onward sometimes you have to go to a channel so. --

Something like that I asked them what I miss it. Mario.

But anyway we have closed Josh has written a book here with us some of this with some of his fellow weatherman extreme to win -- whether with fifteen TV meteorologists and special -- from around New England. And I just I'm just looking -- today comes up tomorrow right comes out tomorrow yup get it'd be bookstore all of your all of our it was a noble borders Amazon you name it. And -- some you have some great pictures. Spent on our website to us how we cart dot com you can order up there. Got some it's got great pictures I was just asking -- how while long it took him to get the rights for the pictures -- and I know someone took meeting at the -- for my new book is over 350 pictures and images and it -- was a lot of work to get people to agreed to let us put him in the book and to get the rights like -- senate yeah. Well I have to say that I urologists say right up front that to mean the media ultimate storm as -- maybe it's just by -- softly -- But it's the it's the blizzard of 78. If that's the biggest one for -- that's that's the biggest one in my lifetime -- shall agree that's sort of the one I think in Boston area and all of knowingly and that's like the measuring stick of all other storms how does this compare to the blizzard of seventy right would you agree mesh.

I would say carry -- so app that we we. In the past when -- I -- we -- the -- storm of the century it was. Greg actually -- behind. Belichick tornados and the and that hurts it in 1938 term -- overall impact and significance in New England but it was coming up as the third and a century a huge storm. -- standard for -- but you know for any extreme weather and bad you know top rate.

you know -- I were I remember that a few years back they they said that they that there was actually more snow came down. The during the blizzard of 78 and 20032000. And I remember likely -- we've in the studio here just not you don't think to myself all the pictures of the young cars because trillion -- 128 they -- what are my getting myself into maybe I'll just sleep over here tonight. And I got home I I would go to Wellesley I got home and forty minutes it was I mean and and yet it was supposedly more -- the blizzard of 78 so you what does that mean well.

What was but keep in mind that part of the thing is we've. We've gotten better preparing for these storms and more warning in advance them as well that's part of and I think that the blizzard of 78 to some degree surprise a lot of people and they weren't quite ready for it would we think --

I think about it a structured so -- that. You weren't as well like adding your talking about the present it from the thousands -- that yes we're looking very active yes that -- that is why why is he now and that storm. I'm switched it click that -- class that was 78 overall snowfall I think that it's it's a -- quite controversial. Because that was the measurement against local airport and there -- the weather boundary right along those lines. That created a very localized break it down and so what throughout the state L highest total in the states. And the rest is it an experienced well a fat -- it and there was also some question as to whether the minister make -- Right the way to the ballot measure Wednesday wiping of the white board every hour and measuring the now whereas. There's standards in the waiting especially now that beat three -- there's -- action happens. But it could be that at that could have been an added inflation. That they'll all -- based on. Different in the way to dog it measured that we bring.

I think it's -- that the entire next day tried to dig my car out. You know it asked if it was just I'm. I'm -- there it is see I guarantee you shall be the picture on seventeen -- about the cars on right on 128 yeah. There rug what you wanna talk about today a great storms of knowing when -- you get on board now at 1877469432218774694322. We're dead and worked with Josh judge she's the author he's from the a meteorologist at the chino mine in -- that -- not Manchester and he's written a book extreme the Wii wheel whether with a lot of his. Fellow while whether people like publish Michaels who's with us now did a couple of great pieces she did a piece about the other big remember the -- game the patriots -- yes. And the guy the guy that was he wasn't he was in Walpole right now she was a and make right.

I thought the guys I thought the guy he's the the guy who what. Did the -- that might have been the the storm years ago against the Miami dolphin -- maybe I'm getting my it's my -- game -- does have a right now I'm just get them confused all.

I didn't read about any prepared that I. Was also --

she wrote about in 2002 the they Oakland Raiders snow bowl game in which Adams military kicked a field goal and in three inches of snow -- There was today he made his decision to go to Baltimore colts wouldn't have to. I -- what he said who's gonna prolong his career by you are going to a dome stadium. -- what are the what happened that a couple of years ago wanna I it was on a weekday afternoon and and all of a sudden I'm you don't drive and -- again from wells -- dead all of a sudden it's you don't think it's gonna take me you know my usual 1520 minutes to get to work. Then all of a sudden it's just a complete gridlock.

let us partly due to the fact that the weather forecasters actually got that on right and everybody closed their their workplaces early and let everybody out awful early. And I was ten mile traffic jams on most of the highways my wife was in a traffic jam the other.

A lot of people exactly and yeah it's not been able and they get out there at a gas.

Yet to me about two hours to get to work in the one I got on nights that I sit. You know if I can only get to Mass Pike everything will be fine -- the Mass Pike is always clear conflict and just as I can just somehow make it across these rotten Boston's streets. I don't minutes to get lost them but once I got the pike. I felt like a 1978. Tony -- that's a 18774694322. -- you'd see this is a this is a topic near and dear to people's -- talking about though and others who loves to -- about this we'll take some calls here for -- Michaels had -- Josh -- you can buy the book that was starting tomorrow or bookstores everywhere or them was on our on our website how we cart dot com. -- extreme doing -- weather rob your next with how we card Josh judge admission Michael's.

I hope so brutally yet it's just it could hear it -- data as it got out a book out -- stop button. Though you'd you'd touched a chord with me at all only because. I'm I've done a little bit or research arm up on the Ulster county tornado 1958 straight yes which I wouldn't -- if if people into -- when don't think that that we are capable of sitting. They tornadoes here I would I would strongly encourage people to look at because -- I mean you know we didn't add any other prediction technology in those days it was. -- hot humid day that it started in part Worcester County that's fairly remote. And I need it hit it hit the north parts support stir it I think it went on trucks sixty streamline helpers area.

94 people killed I just look that up.

Yeah yeah and it I have maybe. A photograph of my computer that that I stored -- say there -- a murder story that was within Worcester he actually. Took a lot of color photos are up early much steam locomotives in the way literally could be color -- recent -- Did he actually we're able to take photographs aren't -- came near his ops and I believe this -- the Stanley Schmidt. The pictures in the book. Yeah I. And that that's one of your candidate tried every Khobar Saudi albeit a cool I note that they can and dot com. I mean if you think -- actress juvenile court all the work that distinction is there's a dork in Toto you just doing what.

Other one -- you know brought in I think with the Great -- in 1995 we cover that in the book with us some pictures as well and the -- one is certainly the worst ever 94 people killed 1244. People injured there's pictures from the Great -- one right there what they don't want to -- minor league team the Worcester tornadoes of people and our is that this the seemed like brother import takes. How often yeah.

Elvis wanna yes those deadly tornado in US history. There's about seven existing photos. The western credit tornado. And found that afternoon. There's an -- in story out of MIT there's no radar I'm it was being used as an experimental radar which Phillip -- on. When the building large stomach and since -- out long ago ignition. But got that radar would trade on the atmosphere that afternoon and -- picked up. There's I'm -- we're looking out the radar data it was seen you know transition from a wartime effort still whether our -- And on -- signature on radar that they've never seen before in August is the parent would do it up I'm gonna look like.

Hot and I don't think that they've not. I look at that my daughter just. Yeah. Because they -- that tornado -- is the what happened was they had that -- in a cocktail party go to jail and they've left the radar aren't. Record -- recording all the data out. But they didn't days -- what was happening that thought it was unique interior and whatnot there -- caught a RD and obviously to lug home. It was one of the First Act. Caught on radar. And significant -- out of -- edit save and it can happen yes.

And a lot I'm -- and until I want to say that the Worcester tornado sparked the formation of the severe storms -- production unit which actually now helps predicts tornadoes nationwide. That lets what six more calls your thanks for the call rob Kevin your next with Howie Carr Misch Michael's. And Josh judge of the author of the new book extreme doing the weather go ahead Kevin.

I her body going. -- about it I. It's what they are mentioned the storm a couple of years ago out pretty much global outlook Carter just special -- central about here where I live.

Oh yeah didn't have volume of the electricity for a couple weeks right. Yeah -- directly that was the end stars yeah I got puckered up.

Yeah really interesting about because it was it -- the air. Are there I think. People are caught by I was out that I thought curling. And what struck they would that. Ali we have an ice forming haven't called or they're banning those very cold apple circus and once the race starts following. -- all that where it is not everything we had -- that are actually warm so. Who wrote the war of believe so wet and warm but it's a warm and I was getting early ballot box saying. All of the top of trees. -- Standing odd yeah well it meant and so what happens in my -- made in I don't know if my conductor. Is that why there's so much street damage was that the ice accretion was not uniform it happened. On the top of the trees are and cause them to be top heavy and it would call the -- and right see if ever there was no accident in the -- And that's a new book right I don't normally you know you've got the big thing happening from the bottom optical system as well there and play. But you can drive anywhere there was no I thought about it was a creating on everything that was like you know about --

I gotta get it dead tree in the yard next to mine an idea there's I just keep -- I just keep thinking about you know it. Toppling over with some -- he's not just a more open for -- to at least an honest enough to -- over the top branches so that of the reacted -- falls won't reach my roof. How -- you don't pay someone to knock it down for a -- its its -- mind I wish my -- would do what -- and his. -- I did somebody else's -- theoretically but -- more by my problem than anybody else's.

You know how you bring up an equal quiet here in New England that really are now that's bad -- both that damage that happened here is because. -- treatment but heavily are part of the country. That you know it really trees falling on all of that it is damaged not at all wind out. The wind after the -- industry of get in the way and so it's really about earning.

That some of -- some of the trees I mean you you know I mean I love that I love a nice willow tree. But they're they're dangerous because they don't have an extensive root system the other going to be the first with a going to be one of the first once adult.

And that's the Griffith in New England really -- in the midwest is so much much steeper because it's so much drier and the well there's a so that's -- is over a little bit greatly.

Well this is great -- which we have more time on this but that this this really good. -- will see enough for you want to know the I gotta tell --

I've I've not you don't pay off our -- well -- yeah exactly. We miss -- now I'm making a comeback are out it's actually really funny I just -- all that it's on that I'm TV diner. And I got to judge -- contest that he -- I. And I don't want by the other there's about cloudy with a and it evolved. But my husband owns the company that -- it but it is not. Leon my that's my big comeback out -- you -- tools and wants it died doing a great.
