stacking up, haverhill 3 inches, carlisle 2. same story in concord. pretty low end totals here but still causing travel issues across the region, sleet harder to clean up. hampton, new hampshire 3, hudson, new hampshire at 2. headlines throughout the rest of today, things slowly starting to wind down for us. but there will still be lighter precipitation and most of it wintery across the interior, they will still need to plow and salt and stay on the roads. colder air things start to rerefreeze again, tomorrow and thursday bulk will see highs in the 40s, many of you have been asking, when do i shovel, if you are in southeastern massachusetts, wash a lot of this away. here across the interior get it out of the way in the next couple hours, refreezing through tonight, temperatures falling back farther through

move as we have seen in fitchburg. back in the studio, danielle niles tracking latest trends on radar, one thing we are seeing is pretty classic cold front, mild to the east and cold to the west of us. it's been impressive to see the temperature for portsmouth drop over 10 degrees in and hour, we have a wind more from degrees in portsmouth, temperature at 36 now in beverly so the front has snagged south, lawrence is now in the mid-20s, so that is the cold air eric was talking about draining back in to northeastern massachusetts, precipitation coming back in from central mass, rain and sleet and snow start go to taper off now, it's 39 in boston with leftover light rain extending through eastern massachusetts, patches from worcester, up to paxton and

let's get a live look at the city of boston to see how things are going there, can't be much because of all the moisture, it is just wet out there, the worse of this storm has moved out, and now bracing for falling temperatures. >> that is right, we'll take a live look at andover where we are seeing a winter emission, this is the 93 right now, you can see a little sleet turning over to rain in that area. eric fisher is live in fitch berg on what we can expect from the rest of this storm, hi there, eric. >> reporter: hey there chris and kathryn, good afternoon, this is a warmup to winter, showing you what is upcoming for the season, we've got a widespread 2-4 inches of snow fall, sleet that is compacted all of that, treacherous driving conditions, the good news, if you are going to have a storm you want to do it during vacation week, a lot of kids not in school, a lot of people in vacation limiting some of the traffic on the roads.

been slow and a lot of accidents. let's talk where this ranks, we had a long wait to see any snow fall in the area, boston this is the fifth latest first measurable snow, i know that is mouthful, had you to to wait to get .10 of inch. .9 so we didn't get an inch of snow fall but measurable snow fall, this is the latest on record in worcester going back for quite a long time there, so we are looking at a pretty significant wait for some of this snow, the latest if you are wondering in boston is january 13th in 2000. seasonal snow falls, most of them below average when you have a long wait. and december we've mentioned this from time to time, some of our broadcasts here it's a bomb or bust monday, you can have a big storm, sometimes you get very little, we've had very little in the month of december, we have past last

so back out here live, we are looking at this town is starting to wake up, volume has been lighter, the crews are out and about, the biggest story as we head through this afternoon, falling temperatures, stable below freezing, but for everyone else north and west of boston we head into the evening commute, the temperatures fall, the crews will have to stay busy, using some caution all the way through tomorrow morning's drive. for a little bit more what is going on with the radar, we'll head back into the studio, daniel niles is withing the situation there, really heavy rain moving across the cape also, a little ponding on the roads. >> it's been a good test, eric, but the kitchen sink with this one. and the current radar shows we have a tapering off in the precipitation but still some areas around -- rain around south eastern massachusetts, 39 in the city of boston right now where we are still dealing with

the pink is where we get sleet pellets mixing in, route 3 and 993, including 95 where the temperatures, that is that front we took a look at, bounder draining down into portions of essex county, still having a little bit of light pocket, sleet and freezing rain as well, where eric is stretching back down and either side of route 92, so all of this will continue to lift to the northeast, still pockets of light freezing rain, the wind has been gusting occasionally, too, over 20 miles per hour right now, worcester, port mouth, cape and islands, too, that adds a bought to the area real feel is 6 degrees in portland, maine, it's 14 in lawrence, 19 in worcester, 29 in the city of boston right now. i think hour by hour through the remainder of the afternoon, some of that cooler air comes into the city of boston so we actually drop into the mid-30s through the evening hours, with

rain coming to an end, additional shower bus you notice upper level low spinning steam. moisture comes through between now to mid to late afternoon, here is hour by hour forecast really tapering things off in intensity and coverage through the evening, that is a leftover sprinkle or nursely overnight tonight, with those falling temperatures -- or early overnight tonight. with those falling temperatures. right at the coastline tomorrow morning, it will be isolated, a lot of clouds tomorrow, we may get skirted by a couple showers along the south coast, then we clear the skies outlooking good as we head into new year's eve celebrations, be mindful of the fact that anything untreated tonight may still be slick as we drop back into the 20s to low 30s, high temperatures tomorrow do manage to come up into the whos, new year's day will be in the mid to upper
