in fact i can't find a single reporting station that has any snowflakes reaching the surface yet and that will start to work its way our way overnight and the snowflakes will reach ground. so scattered areas of rain and snow mainly after 10 p.m. and temperatures this evening around the freezing mark and then slowly rising heading towards tomorrow morning. looking at a coding to as much as inch of snowfall locally best chance from 1 to 3 and 4 to 5 is across northern new england which is great news for the ski areas. here's the hour by hour as we head into the overnight. see the snow actually does start to reach and then as we move towards tomorrow morning, temperatures are warming from south to north and so snow showers will change over to rain showers and that's the way we wake up tomorrow morning a lot of clouds couple rain showers out there. and then a break and then one more round of rain showers tomorrow afternoon and evening so a very march like day with changeable weather in and out of the sun and clouds and couple chance of rain and quite breezy out of the south southwest tomorrow.

afternoon low 50s outside so anything that falls is going to melt and we stay above freezing tomorrow night. and we are back around 50 again on sunday and little less winds more sunshine on sunday and it will be more pleasant day to be outdoors. and then as we move towards the snow chance number 2 it's with another weak wave of low pressure sliding off to the south sunday night into monday morning and it's something to keep tabs on this weekend. this could 0 little farther south and just miss us completely but at most i am thinking a couple inches of snow. next week drawn out ugliness as we look towards the last week of february and i think storm number one is weaker and it brings snow and ice around the region and storm number 2 is stronger and changes us over to rainfall as we head into thursday. i don't think we will see a big snowfall event out of this. we will be watching for icing in the middle of the week. here's the accu-weather seven- day and temperatures colder next week as well a lot of highs in the 30s and we may briefly spike on thursday. and as the storm tracks to the west. and a quick school yard shout
