the snow we got over the weekend. cindy: a lot of spots anywhere from 1-4 inches of snow through the overnight. most of us will see much more than an inch additional accumulation but notice is still falling out there. so we've got what fell overnight and what is is falling now. you can see on the radar darker blue headed toward 128. that's where we do have more intense snow working on through. we do have a winter weather advisory up until 10:00 this morning. reduced visibility, slipper erodes. could be dicey driving for next couple of hours. everything is moving from west to east. the snow has let up in the intensity west of 495 but look at this band here. from waltham to needham, this will be closing in on you and working toward the coastline into the boston area. notice through 6:00 this morning, the focus is really shifting toward eastern and north eastern massachusetts in terms of the snow. by 8:00 this morning, it is really starting to wind on down. so it's just a couple more hours here with the snowfalling out there. i think most of us walk away with between about 2-4 inches of snow.

trevithick's mother got the call just before 5:00 a.m. on saturday that he was free and coming home. we spoke to the family before he arrived at logan. >> we're overjoyed he's out. we're just enormously grateful to everybody in the government. doug: trevithick was released on the same day that four other americans were freed by the iranian government in a separately negotiated prisoner swap. state department officials say the tense talks to free him were so precarious that immediate family members couldn't even tell anyone he'd been detained. the prison where he was held has a reputation for brutality against political prisoners. but the conditions trevithick encountered are unclear. we're live in hingham this morning, doug meehan, wcvb, newscenter 5. emily: three of the four other americans released by iran are in germany after a brief stop in geneva. the fourth detainee chose to remain in iran. the state department says the americans will be checked out at a military hospital near ramstein air force base in germany before heading home. right now the state department

clinton: i have made it clear based on senator sanders record that he has voted with n.r.a. with gun lobby numerous times. sanders: the gun manufacturer's liability bill had some good provisions. erika: candidates also discussed race relations, the economy, and the opioid epidemic. a new "wall street journal"/nbc news poll gives clinton a 25-point lead nationwide. that's up six percent since last month. randy: the sanders campaign is promising to tone things down in one new hampshire community. police in epping say they were getting complaints about aggressive door-to-door campaigning there. there were at least three complaint calls last week. the sanders camp called the incidents a "rare exception" adding that they've trained thousands of volunteers. a number of republican candidates are headed for new hampshire this week. ted cruz is already there campaigning through thursday. donald trump has an event in concord today. and john kasich will make stops in plymouth, hanover, and

steelers last night. the patriots hope the outcome of this sunday's afc championship will be different than the last time they faced the broncos. that was thanksgiving weekend. the same game where rob gronkowski sprained his knee and was carted off the field. julian edelman did not play in that game. the pats lost in overtime. broncos q.b. peyton manning, not showing too much emotion about the matchup just yet. manning: i try to stay kind of in the moment, try to stay one week at a time, try to be patient and not look too far ahead. emily: this will be the patriots fifth straight afc championship and the fifth time brady has taken on manning in a playoff game. kickoff this sunday is at 3:05. a rockland family stunned by what two men did to their pet. randy: the attack in their own yard. and this crash through a convenience store was not the end of an ordeal overseas. the second danger triggered by

you can see as we get deeper into the morning hours, the snow is going to be letting up and the impact on your traveling is going to come on down. so between 6:00 and 8:00 this morning is when i expect it to taper off in general. it may linger just a little bit longer across north eastern massachusetts. overnight though the heaviest snow has been south of boston. places like rockland and hanover coming in with four inches of snow through the overnight hours. east bridgewater over three. you can see taunton about an inch-and-a-half. about a inch-and-a-half in sharon as well. you head to worcester county, ash burnham has seen 2.5 ismgs, worcester 1.5. westborough almost three and closer to two inches around south boston. you get the idea we've had a little dose of snow. everything is moving from west to east. we are seeing that lessening and lightening up up through worcester county. the focus is the band closing in on the boston area right now. within this, the visibility does drop just a little bit. notice in the next hour by 6:00 this morning, we're pushingome of that steadier snow off shore. by about 8:00 this morning, we're really starting to wind things down. we will see the clouds break for

lunchtime and into the afternoon. so it's about a 2- to 4-inch snowfall for most of us although south of boston, locally some inches. look at the temperatures right now. we're running in the 20's. however, behind this arctic front coming on in, the temperatures really drop. back down in the teens, even sub zero back towards the lakes. this is the air mass that will be working on in. as the winds shift to the west this morning, temperatures will hold steady even though we get into sunshine this afternoon. by noontime, it's going to feel like it's in the single digits and teens and that gusty wind giving us wind chills close to zero by this evening. the winds will pick up. we do have a wind advisory overnight and into tomorrow on the cape where the winds could gust to 50 miles per hour. keep that in mind as you're heading out the door tomorrow morning. low temperatures dropping into the single digits and teens. with that wind blowing, it will feel much much colder than that. the wind, the cold, they are with us right on into wednesday. wind chills though sub zero throughout the day. tomorrow especially during the morning hours.

i just want to show you friday night look at this storm that's going to be coming up out of the north. this has the potential to be a significant winter storm. however, the track is critical. a lot of things nied to come together but right now we do have the chance of some pretty good snow around here as we head into the first half of the weekend. we'll be keeping a close eye on that throughout the week. let's get you out to the roadsment doesn't look good out there. olessa: you can see some of the crews ahead of these cars. this is the pike eastbound by we've been see inning throughout the morning. if you can get behind one of those plows that's probably the safest way to go. you'll be in a back-up just like this one. let's see the rest of your ride. that's the story across the board. we are watching one accident early this morning. overturned car. this is 95 south by route 1. so there's an indication of how slick the ride is even that little bit of snow on the ground can do a lot of damage. you do want to budget in the extra travel time. pike and route 9 issue free. southbound same story 93 south just stop-and-go. 128 also you're going to find that one lane right now you're seeing that blacktop.

they should be swapped out at least every one to three months if you want it running efficiently. finally, upgrade your shades. dark, heavy shades can block heat loss in the winter. randy: some off-season renovations begin at fenway park this week. not something the boys of summer would recognize. a 140-foot snow ramp will be built on the field ahead of the "polartec big air at fenway." the event is happening february 11 and 12. it's a grand prix tour event which will feature the world's top skiers and snowboarders. a first of its kind in space. emily: what astronauts were able to grow for the first time ever. it's ahead. erika? erika: new at 5:30, a protest planned at boston's state of the city address. the issue leading parents to organize. and a woman attacked in chelsea. the ambush as she walked home from work.
