way through the 50s breaking records. you know about the all time warmest december. look at january so far. it is over 5 degrees. it is above average. that's probably going to change some as we certainly will have some cold episodes coming up. here is the thing. when you get a warm surge like we did yesterday and the warmest occurred in the evening when we broke the record at 58, it was still 51 at midnight. even though it felt so cold, it won't go into the books as an above average day. this is pretty extraordinary. last year 10.6 inches of snow. we know. we lived through it. look at this year. we are under one inch. however the last winter season we were only at 4.7 even though we wound up up there. the average at this point would be 15 inches. we are way under average so far. speaking of snow there is a little system and it is a

we do see an area of snow into southern michigan and northwest ohio. that's the area that is on our way and it could time for some of us for tomorrow evening's commute. and there will be a little sunshine for awhile over the southeastern mass of the cape. but over areas north and west it will be cloudy. and then the clouds will thicken up and it will be this time tomorrow roughly that the snow will be reaching boston. and it is also colder there. so the impact for the evening commute has a better chance of being a little more significant out around the worcester air and 495 than it does in boston. but nonetheless there will be snow in the air and it might be mixed with rain and the temperature may be above freezing in boston so it may not have the same impact. and it is not a big storm. by midnight we will be cleared up by wednesday morning. and then another cold shot comes in. this is one of our computer models.
