campaign 2016, less than a month before voters cast the first ballots in the race for president. the latest polls show a tightening democratic race. hillary clinton is hanging onto a small lead 48-45 with bernie sanders but in new hampshire, clinton trails 46 to 50%. clinton downplayed those numbers. >> polls go up and go down. i stay pretty focused on what we have to do to build on the progress of the obama administration but go even further. >> reporter: -- >> the iowa caucus is on february 1. new hampshire holds it's on february 9. the future of the green line expansion will top the agenda when officials meet tomorrow. the t has planned for years to expand trolley service to somerville and medford but cost estimates have gone up dramatically to over $3 billion. so, officials must decide whether to scale back the

more of snow but on the summit of mount washington, it went from snow, sleet, freezing rain and then rain. still raining today, 1.9 inches from our weather watchers. huffington 1.3 inches and the cave got about 1 inch. the heaviest rain is offshore. we have more -- one more band with an approaching cold front. we have heavier rain heading to wurster up to if switch new hampshire -- ippswitch new hampshire. how about the records to be today? and wurster, it got up to 560 for a new record high of -- beating the record of 530. will boston have a new record in the next few minutes? it's possible.

if the wind goes more southerly. indeed, it looks like the current temperature just jumped to 570, so we do have a new record. it just went up in the last few minutes. 570 in boston for a new record high. out to the west, nothing like record high temperatures. we had many record high temperatures in vermont and southern new england and into new york now it's 290 in buffalo, seven below zero in international falls. we won't be that could but we will feel chilly by early tomorrow morning. by then, bridges down to 320 around boston and 20s off to the north and west. the real temperatures will feel like the lower 20s because of wind. as warm as it is right now, you're going to have to bundle up tomorrow morning. with the wind blowing, the wet roads will mostly dry out but pedaling might go on puddling--

be careful when you head out. but that heavy coat on because it's going to be about 300 and about 310 coming home from school with the wind blowing much of the time. the reason for this is a storm center going west of us, drawing the warm air to boston for that record high. we see it clearing out overnight but no flash freezes overnight. it won't get cold until way after midnight in the early morning hours. we will have temperatures in the low to middle 30s at this point. then, it looks like we are in for some cold days and a potential for snow. a lot to talk about here in a short time but we could have snow showers tuesday afternoon that could amount to 1- 2 inches and cold weather, thursday and friday. next weekend looks strongly as well for the pats game on saturday. more on that tonight at 11:00. >> i like the warm temperatures. next in sports, the pats

patriots an early favorite for the playoff matchup against the chiefs at gillette stadium. pass enjoying a bye week this weekend will be as healthy as they been in months. when you think of this matchup, the first thing you think of is the pounding of the chiefs put on the super bowl champions in kansas city on a monday night in week four. tom brady, two bad interceptions and a loss. the pats used the game as a rallying point and went on to right there ship eventually catching their 4th super bowl title. coach belichick said he will be

with the chiefs coming to down -- town saturday night. >> there is definitely some things we can learn from it. there is some things i would say are outdated based on the players and personnel. it has relevance. but we're certainly going to have to prepare and coach better than we did that night. >> as i mentioned, the defense intercepted brady twice last time. in there if the wild-card game against the texans, kansas city intercepted brian hoyer six times. again, it was the chiefs 11th straight win. the patriots look to stop that -- at gillette stadium. we will get started with a 90 minute game that 2:00, kickoff at 4:35 pm right here on wbz. our fifth gorder postgame show

wbz. last night, what a game between the bengals in cincinnati. bengals are racing a fifth gorder deficit. they picked off the steelers but they fumbled and ben roethlisberger returned from injury for a final drive. then, inexcusable penalties. people will talking -- will be talking about them for ages. a flag on the play. a vicious hit plus a 15 yard personal foul. jones getting a 15 yarder for shoving coach porter. that sets up a 30 yard field goal for boswell. pittsburgh, not the bengals are on to denver next week. nfc wild-card action, seahawks at minnesota. settle down 9-0, russell wilson finds doug baldwin from 3 yards out following a big play. 9-7 at this point. a 46 yard field goal to give the seahawks a 10-9 lead but

like they've got it. chip shot, 27 yard field goal. 10-9 final, the seahawks survived. next play at carolina. the other wild-card matchup in redskins. green bay trailing. aaron rodgers td passes and kirk cousins just ran for a touchdown. celtics up 12 in their game. well, imagine if all of today's rain was actually snow. little bit. the amazing creations folks in another part of the country are making with their bounty of snow. people don't have access because they just can't afford it. bernie sanders understands how pharmaceutical companies and major medical companies are ripping us off.

and he's been consistent. he understands that the system is rigged, and he's the only one who can bring real change. i'm bernie sanders,

mary was talking about snow. imagine what we might be doing today if today's rain was snow instead. >> crying. but we would have stuff to make snow sculptures with. minnesota has had lots of snow so three brothers created a giant octopus measuring 18 feet high. it took 500 hours to build. the brothers hope to raise $10,000 to provide clean drinking water for haiti. a good and to all the hours of work. >> that's right up your alley,

good luck to do that. it's so warm out there right now but by morning it will feel like the 20s. we have a record high right now. thanks so much for watching. days after the paris attacks, senators came together for a top-secret briefing on the terrorist threat... marco rubio was missing - fundraising in california instead. two weeks later, terrorists struck again in san bernardino... and where was marco? fundraising again in new orleans. over the last 3 years, rubio has missed important

than any other senator. politics first: that's the rubio way. right to rise usa content of this message. you got people working incredibly long hours. median family income today -- $4,000 less than it was in 1999. the bottom line of this economy is that it is rigged. what this campaign is about is to demand that we create an economy that works for all of us rather than a handful of billionaires. if you work 40 hours a week in america, i'm bernie sanders,
