florida will be cooling off they're around 70 and you know folks have been taking off the last few days to go on vacation this upcoming week is around 70 or so around orlando today. but none of the weather is coming here that's for sure. more than a week ago we knew there was going to be a chunk of chill released from canada and was going to some into the northeast and boy is it here now. the temperatures dropped three degrees in the last hour in boston is now down to 9 and summit of mount washington. it is 35 below zero right now. and the zero line is now moving into portions of worcester county. orange now is 1 below zero. so as you can see, so we're right in the shaft of this axis of real chill coming out of the arctic and right into new england for now and fortunately not going to be around for too long but it's going to be fast and furious. and it's going to be meaning something as we go through tonight. the all-time low ever in boston was 18 below back in february 1934. the last 550 years, 7 below in january of 2004 and last ten years the coldest in boston was last year. we never really actually had any individual record low

while it got down to 3 below zero. the last time we had a record low in boston was way back in 1967 in terms of the month of february. i think it's going to go down to a record low of 12 below tonight in worcester and i predict it's going to be 6, 7 below in boston and it's going to go down lower than the record low for tomorrow. so make it the cold valentine's day on record. why should temperatures as we go through the night now it will be mostly clear but snow showers in the outer cape may be there once in a while overnight tonight. boston will be down to 5, 7 below by 7:00 in the morning and again 10, 15 below in worcester county and going to warm up to the single digits in most places but possibly 12, 10 tomorrow as we go through here and then drops back down below zero tomorrow night. with no wind tomorrow night. and then monday starts to cloud out and warms up into the 20s, 30-degrees with snow late in the day. the windchills are going to be definitely going to 20, 35 below zero tonight. as as the chunk of real cold moves away and then the warmup

that warmup we get snow coming in monday evening. but actually it's going to turn so warm it may actually go over that? the past. we've had extreme cold and all of a sudden flip the switch and the other way and it warms up. look at the seven day accuweather forecast. 10 tomorrow after 7:00 below in the morning. 30 on monday. up to 50 or so on tuesday with the rain. wettest in the afternoon. so lots of changes ahead. that's it i'll see you later. barry thank you. the bruins are true road boston.

so, what moves me? it's the journey. the feeling of doing. it's making choices for a i'm on my path and i love it. starts with nature's path pumpkin flax granola. crunchy clusters of flax and pumpkin seeds, with all the goodness to nourish you and your family. t

well, the bruins continue to do well on the road but it helps up against a struggling team and the wild struggling just a little bit. >> really struggling but bruins

all right some sometimes in sports you just can't explain things. the bruins are under .500 at home but away from the garden and they have the second best record in hockey. a very impressive 17-5-3 heading into today's afternoon affair in minnesota. bruins doing it the hard way today. brad marchand continues to be red hot. he takes the feed from krejci. his 27th of the season. it's a shorthanded goal. and it's 1460 bruin -- 1-0 bruins. and it was that way until period. loses track of the puck and under his pads and into the net and we're tied at 1. but not for very long. >> now krejci toll break up ice for the bruins, back to him back door and the net came off the tag. >> it should be a goal though. that was needer ryer that slid off the peg. >> it went off him and hit. to it?

ice. >> and krejci gets the bruins the lead. >> yeah just 35 seconds after the wild tied it krejci untied it and you can see on the replay clearly that it was in off the goalie of minnesota. bruins with the big answer to retake the lead. then in the third period, they would get a couple more. louie eriksson on a break away. the 200th goal of his career. and the bruins have themselves a two goal lead at 3-1. then the dagger, char row with the long empty netter the bruins win again away from home. this time without bergeron. just the 23rd coach in nhl history to accomplish that feat. the bruins win it 4-2. >> yeah we started the road trip the right way. you know, that's how we wanted to come out and respond and especially losing bergeron for tonight and the way that we regrouped and played and especially in the third period

we came up with weigh win. we have to be happy. let's talk baseball and spring training is now a week away for david ortiz, his final camp as he begins the fare well tour in florida. we know what his dad meant to the sox lineup over -- bat has meant to the sox lineup over the years. hook key bets was asked if they want to send david off with a bang. >> i mean yeah, definitely go out with bang. you know, obviously we want to win the world series for his last year. you know, with being a teammate of his it's been a blessing and on honor and you know, i thank god for that opportunity to be a teammate of his. and everything that he's told me and everything that he's been through you know, he's shared and you know, give us try and put us two steps you know in front of everybody else. job with that. well, lots more of that coming up later on this week. it's a good looking guy will be heading down to fort myers. thursday.
