when there is undeniably here yesterday
there was no winter it was barely even
called today it's a winter in full swing
and in today's film I'm sorry I was
running with the dog in today's film
we're going to try to show you guys why
another snowfall in u.s. is a much
bigger problem than snowfall in Poland
I'm gonna use this professional snow
measuring tool here to show you guys how
much snow we have and this looks to me
like about two inches maybe getting to
three possibly towards the end of the
day two or three inches is about four or
five centimetres probably not very
accurate on that but that's what it
looks like to me this is gonna be a
little bit of a delay it's covered with
snow Oh
ok looks like we're good to go
we're going to drive around a little bit
and try to show you guys the real
situation here what's happening in two
different cities Newark Delaware and
Philadelphia Pennsylvania and give
evidence of the snow being a little bit
of a problem
there's definitely less people on the
streets here in Newark Delaware today
this is a University City so normally
it's on a Saturday it's like crawling
with people on a nice day especially but
today the streets are pretty empty
so the plus of this situation is less
traffic on the roads it was definitely
very few cars on the way here and
another plus is
it's finally starting to look like more
like Christmas I have to admit that I
haven't been feeling the mood this year
have you
it is getting dark early we gotta get a
little bit later than we were planning
originally it's like 5:20 p.m. and it's
already past sunset but we're heading to
the museum area just to show you guys a
little bit of night snowy philadelphia
and i have to say this this is this
whole this whole snowfall makes it a
really cool evening
thank you very much to you whether your
guys doing here today on this cold snowy
day I just seen for Latvia
do you live here yeah we do I used to
live here now I miss it
where do you live now in Maryland oh
yeah I'm from like area yeah thank you
very much by the way for those of you
unfamiliar with Philadelphia these here
are the famous rocky steps these are the
steps on which Sylvester Stallone ran up
in the movie in the one of the most
iconic scenes in the history of cinema
those tips right there
you can actually see people running up
these steps here pretty often it's a
common thing to do here in Philadelphia
once you're here and you are at this
iconic location you feel like this is
what you're supposed to do I think I did
it wants to in the very beginning
all right so why don't you tell me why
is snow Fellini was always such a
problem I don't think it's always a
problem it's a problem in certain areas
that don't get snow regularly can't see
the top of the tree I thought it was it
was miserable without the star oh yeah
so it's only problem in areas didn't go
don't get much snow normally yes like
Texas where I'm from they don't ever get
snow your face has to be like okay go on
so Texas where I'm from they don't
really get a lot of snow and so they
just got snow and I read that it was the
most snowfall in 30 years and I just
know yeah snow and Santa at the same
time Santa said make it rain
give me some snow that snow fell from
San Antonio to East Texas with some
areas reporting two and a half inches
San Antonio has not had a notable
snowfall since 1985 I don't even think
it was this much snow Wow so it's hard
for a society to deal with that when
they don't have the snow clouds and the
ice salt and all that kind of stuff well
in general from you know what I'm used
to seeing here in the US is very often
when it snows they like shut down
schools people don't go to work it's
like an official break because it's
unsafe basically everywhere so why do
you think that is like Americans can't
drive in the snow or what's going on
well I mean I think that in Poland do
you prepare your roads for the snow or
do you just see this is the funny thing
every single year when I lived in Poland
okay it's like December so winter is
coming you know the winter is gonna be
there sooner or later first big snow
well you heard on the news Jumma chumma
drove off so the winter surprised the
road people
how are they always surprised every
single year when it always snows
such a mystery to me it always was but
somehow new drivers no but the the you
know the the services the people who are
supposed to take care of their own they
were supposed to put like sand and
whatever salt and you know the road good
weather
well you know good with it recording or
not mid-december you could expect snow
like really heavy snow hole right so
mid-november you should start getting
ready fun if you don't have the stuff
spread on the roads when you expect it
coming then you're gonna have a problem
I remember in Delaware one time when I
was having that studio opening at my
studio and they had snow they thought it
was just gonna be flurries and it ended
up being a very big snow and the road
wasn't prepared to all there were all of
these Leatherface
there were all of these um there were
all of these hills and stuff and people
weren't prepared for that to drive in it
they thought oh it's just gonna need
flurries and then when they actually got
out in it they couldn't even go up the
road in their car their car was are
sliding back down the hill right so you
just have to feel know that it's coming
and prepare in advance America is hilly
that's why it's a problem what I know
like we don't watch television in news a
lot really but I knew it was been the
snow because we were driving around and
there were all these white lines on the
road and I was like oh they put salt out
so is it snowing and then I looked it up
oh it's gonna snow tomorrow but also
times have changed you don't have to
watch the television anymore
because guess what everything's here you
send all these crazy messages
I guess you said I get seven Donuts
what is this crazy wait does this means
she can read all our messages well we
all write bad things
alright back on track so here's the
thing even though Poland would get snow
every single winter and a lot of snow
somehow Polish people were better able
to deal with it that was my feeling like
nobody would close schools unless it was
like minus 20 Celsius which is really
freaking cold I do agree that you're
better able to do it don't you think
it's cuz it's a regular occurrence here
it happens like at the very most like
three times a year in this area but if
you went to like Minnesota they're gonna
be like Poland but don't you think it
does happen here like every single
winter it does but it's not a thing that
we're constantly prepared for like
Buffalo New York they're not shutting
down for the snow because they're not no
they're used to it that is interesting
it just I think the thing is that the
u.s. is so large that you have such a
large variety of exposure to the snow
and different municipalities dealing
with it so the problem comes from the
country being so diverse that certain
areas are just not used to it not ready
and when it happens everything goes
crazy literally they like closing
highways we should do that map thing
week and say this point in the US
relates to this point in Europe and then
you get an idea of so if it snowed in
Africa what would they do you know what
I mean but if they were like New Jersey
if it snowed
during their biggest snowball fight of
the year they would cancel it right yes
today that was news that Six Flags
canceled biggest snowball fight of the
year because of snowfall low ironic all
right it's snowing on the camera so what
we're gonna do now is drive around the
city a little bit and film the
Philadelphia snowfall tonight in the
darkness it's gonna be really pretty so
basically you guys just sit and enjoy
okay all right
well I've got news for you I know you're
waiting
and Christmases right here
well I've got news for you I know you're
waiting Christmas right here
it's time for it to reappear
the songs that we all know
Jimmy
this is little later in the day we were
at a birthday party today at our friends
house and I found two people who are
willing to talk about Americans and
driving in the snow so here they are
why are Americans bad drivers in the
snow Americans on iron butt and I'm
originally from Greece where they never
have said no but I can drive in the rain
it's the snow I can so um you you told
me a story before that you were scared
because the very first and only fender
bender I have ever had was in the snow
and since then I don't like this no at
all unless I'm the only one out in the
street man I have the whole place to
myself oh then you would have fun yes
because then who cares what I hit I saw
somebody doing donuts outside that does
you know no donuts no no no no no no no
I'm the person that one inch of snow I
put it in Suitland low and I head home
and everybody's honking at me to hurry
up
but I get out of the road then you get
home safely
yes and I'm the first one there and I'm
petrified until the snow is all done so
you also have a theory that the snow is
different in here than it isn't okay
it's heavier and wetter here than it is
in Chicago I've seen the snow in Chicago
and some other places I think because
we're so close to the bay and the oceans
that we got a lot more sleet in the snow
or at least any excuse I can give as to
why I can't drive in the snow the one we
lived in North Carolina for a year
Charlie rain there were accidents
everywhere because nobody knows haven't
nice in this film you have to think
about it you've got to think what's
going to happen you always actually
anticipate awesome when you drive
anywhere you're always looking five
cards ahead to see when that person has
their brakes on but I've also found my
son lived in Denver for ten years out
there piece of cake
no problem there used to snow there used
to driving in it they know how to do it
so that's all I have you learn and use
your common sense most importantly and
good training you think about if your
car starts to skid how you turn into the
skid and it's being aware to downshift
going to load up years even in a sedan
then I Drive up SUV but you know how to
put in a four-wheel drive it's just
people don't use their common sense and
with that I think we're gonna finish
today's episode
there's always thinking guys so much for
your attention please subscribe and all
that okay we'll see you soon bye
it was you know the repair uh maybe he
said we're a one-stop shop you can buy a
tree in here
