you can see snow blanketing the ground and beach homes. a peaceful scene after that storm rocked the east coast. they'll be cleaning up for days, i'm sure. really it's the flooding to our south that is so problematic. cindy: that's the problem with these coastal storms. the snow is one aspect. the coast got battered. the water coming in was amazing. way to get that northern edge as we had anticipated in the cape cod hit. pretty hard as well. this is going down no the record books down through the mid atlantic states. d.c. second greatest snowfall on record for them. 29.3 inches. number one for baltimore. there you see philly and new york city as well. well over two feet of snow in new york city. around here not as much. on the cape we did get over a foot in east falmouth. on the vineyard, of course, 15 inches there. the amounts dropped off the closer you got to boston. even in the city there were ocean enhancements so we did get six inches of snow. you can see the amounts on cape. mashpee 10.5 inches. sandwich a foot. parts of south coastal massachusetts and also plymouth you can see about 10 inches of snow there.

farther north that you went but for this season now in boston, we're up over 10 inches. pretty similar to where we were last yee at this point but still behind average today which is about 20 inches of snow. we're shutting the snow machine off for the next few days anyway. 24 in worcester right now. it is 28 in boston. we have dropped to the teens in plymouth. there are some 20's on cape cod. it's pretty quiet morning. winds are generally under 10 miles per hour so no big wind chills as you're stepping tout door this morning but there are patchy clouds that are working on through this morning. these are kind of in and out. high pressure is building in so it will give us a lot of sunshine today. but out in the middle of the country a couple of frontal boundaries. a lot of clouds with this but not much moisture yet. this is all associated with warmer air trying to push in. it's above freezing in st. louis. in the 40's in little rock. i point that out because we're actually heading into the 40's tomorrow. so today will be a seasonal day. in the mid and upper 30's. cooler spots through the worcester hills. here too we're still getting above the freezing mark. 35 in boston. mid and upper 30's in southeastern massachusetts

20's to around 30 degrees. temperatures will bottom out early on and then they may actually start to rise a little bit toward morning. tomorrow morning 8:00 a.m. you can see a high pressure to our east. we'll have more of a southerly flow out ahead of this frontal boundariment it moves through during the day where we could see a spot shower and then behind it colder air is waiting in the wings. that will come in towards later in the week. a little bump up in temperatures coming up on tuesday. and the showers threat is pretty low overall much of the day. you can see how the clouds thicken up by 5:00 in the afternoon. there might be a couple of rain showers around with temperatures in the 40's. even during the overnight hours still mild enough for rain. we're clearing things out on wednesday. temperatures go from the mid 40's on tuesday back down to the low 40's on wednesday. quiet into thursday and what is this on friday? watching a storm. yeah, some not all of our computer models generating a storm and bringing it up the coast friday close enough perhaps to get us with a little bit more snow or perhaps even a mix with some rain.

this go-round. we'll watch it for you. we'll see how close this storm gets this go-round. perhaps a little deja-vu. jeff: the weekend storm is going to affect us on the roads. isn't that funny how it is. cindy: and saturday, too. jeff: the secondary roads are a little bit slippery. the main roads are all in very good shape. we're looking at the zakim bunker hill bridge again as well as the leverett connector which is moving nicely into the city. i promise you it will be a very busy commute. mondays always are. the secondary roads going to be a little bit tricky as well. let's go to the maps and see if anything is happening out there at this point. no crashes to speak of. that's the good news. as we start things off. keep in mind it will be a little bit slower than most mornings. the ride on 128 south is only 14 minutes to get from route 1 on down to the lexington area. the 93 run into downtown boston has no problems at all. that's only 11 minutes there. well. if you do take the mbta and specifically the red line they are expecting the possibility of some minor delays on is red line because of earlier track work on the longfellow bridge. everything otherwise is fine so
