harv: it may not seem -- seem like a year but that's the story. buffalo picked up 5 1/2 feet of snow. amazing. all lake-effect snow. thousands were stranded. roads closed. hundreds of roofs collapsed. the bills game against the jets had to be moved to detroit. a wall of snow and later the same week more snow fell so in one week some places picked up over seven feet of snow. of course, that may also have looked like us back last february, if you remember that. if you're thinking about us, last winter prior to january 23, we had only had 5 1/2 inches of snow but after that, an amazing 105.1 broke our record at 110.6 and buffalo, by the way last winter, had two inches of snow greater than we did for the seasonal total. it wasn't snow early this morning but it was all that frost on your

windshield. beverly sent this in -- from the location of beverly. temperatures this morning in the teens and low 20s in so many areas. very cold. yet we did have a respectable temperature recovery. look at some of the jumps in temperature that we had today. here it started at 16, wound up at 46. felt a lot different in late northern and afternoon than morning. boston, skies clear. 45 degrees. wind is off the water that alone suggests tonight is not going to be as cold as last night so it will drop for a while, especially inland but then clouds will be coming in. the winds will pick up a little bit out of the south. generally 30s and 40s overnight tonight. and that's a big improvement. tomorrow, mild air comes in, too, but the clouds will be here and eventually the wet weather. this is all related to the system that's produced a lot of severe weather as it's been marching across the country day

remember, it had some snow in colorado as well. we're going to see some of the rain. not severe, but significant rain, which we actually could use. so it looks like the clouds will be in most areas by early in the day tomorrow. could even be damp for far western massachusetts early tomorrow. our morning commute, just basically some clouds and not as cold as this past day was. tomorrow afternoon, that's when the rain starts to move east. there could be some rain or drizzle around the evening commute. however, the heavier rain is going to be after that. overnight tomorrow night, on into, if not through the friday morning commute, is when we'll get our heavier downpours. anywhere from half an inch to an inch or over an inch if you're in the areas that will get heavier downpours. will end around the cape with improving weather coming in midday and afternoon on friday. looking at the next seven. a gray day tomorrow. eventually becoming damp and then very wet overnight tomorrow night into friday morning.

look how mild it turns. starting in the 50s to near 60 early friday. but cooling off later friday. so saturday looks like a dry day but a chilly day. only in the upper 40s. that's how it looks. we may have somewhat gusty winds on saturday. it doesn't look like they will be out of control or anything like that. couple of showers come through sunday morning. dry and chilly weather for the patriots game on monday night right here on channel 5 at 8:30. pre-game show at 8:00 in the 30s for the game. after that we'll start to get into the holiday travel period. around tuesday and wednesday leading into thanksgiving. and right now it looks like it will be on the dry side during that period of time so that's the early look which is good news because when you have all of that travel we certainly prefer it to be dry over a good chunk of the country. much more coming up in future days. >> hitting the gym can be expensive with average member in the boston area around 60 per

month but what if you could get twice weekly work-outs free. we found a way. reporter: some gyms offer one introductory class for little or no cost. but we found a workout that's always challenging, always effective and better, always free. the north base mountain athletics training program. >> it's northeast -- outdoor training. free. >> nice job. reporter: lindsey is one of the trainers. >> work-outs are free and tuesday and thursday night and all you have to do is go on our facebook page or the event bright which is a standing invitation and sign yourself up and just show up. >> the company hosts classes in several cities across the country. boston work-outs started in march of 2015. >> when we started it was definitely colder than this so we can't complain yet. it's going to get a lot colder.
