investigating a deadly accident involving a snow plow. police say a man in his 60's was struck by a plow while shoveling in dorchester yesterday. it happened at the intersection of dorchester ave and harbor view street. the driver did stay at the scene. police are now trying to figure out if speed or the angle of the sun factored into the crash. neighbors say it's a tragic accident, but they're not surprised. >> when i'm crossing the street, cars are coming really close without stopping. i think with the weather though, like the windshields, it's hard to keep them clear anyway. i mean, check the corners. people are all around. randy: the victim's name has not been released. erika: right now much of the east coast is still trying to weekend blizzard. will remain closed. that includes all federal offices. votes this week including one to override president obama's healthcare veto. this morning many rail lines are trying to get back on track. amtrak is running a limited number of trains on its routes

terrible. for us to lose by a point and me missing the kick, it's a nightmare. bob: and it didn't go much better for tom brady. number 12 was harassed, hurried, and hassled throwing not one but two interceptions. by the time it was all over, his frustration was crystal clear. brady: it was a tough day, man, tough day. hard-fought football game. bob: in the final seconds, brady did manage to connect with gronk in the endzone. but the two-point conversion failed and the pats were just out of time. the revenge tour ends. just shy of another trip to that super showdown. as the red sox used to say, wait until next year. in denver, bob halloran, wcvb, sportscenter 5. randy: bob, thank you. them for those tablet problems. the tablets on the patriots sidelines stopped working during

>> good morning, "eyeopener." randy: good morning to all the

in kingston. erika: they had a great time with danielle vollmar, and you can have a great time recording just go to the front page of wcvb.com and upload it in the u-local section of our website. cindy: weather talk is exciting. erika: it is. cindy: a little too much weekend. though. erika: if they're itching for some snow. cindy: it came on a saturday though so no snow days around here. i think they saw the snow day in d.c. today still have to clean up from that area. of course being hit hardest with the storm down through the mid atlantic states. we did okay here on the cape. look at these totals coming in. falmouth a foot. sandwich a foot. a little bit more in some spots. over a foot in woods hole. hard. the farther north you went as off. still here south of boston. look at plymouth 10 inches. we had 6.8 in whitman. of snow. in boston officially we got

so for the entire season so far, we're just over ten. very similar to where we were last year at this point. although you remember what happened after this point last year. typically on average we have about 20 inches of snow by this point in a season. no snow in the forecast today. we have temperatures starting out in the teens and 20's. 16 in orange. 18 in plymouth. the winds are generally on the lighter side. so no big wind chills as you're stepping outside this morning. some patchy clouds have been coming through during the overnight hours. these are in the process of thinning out and pushing off shore as high pressure noses in. it will be a pretty quiet weather day today. more clouds come in overnight. this weather system here off to the west is going to push toward us with some milder temperatures coming up tomorrow. so today is a seasonal day. average high this time of year is in the mid 30's. lawrence 35 degrees. 34 in worcester. perhaps a few degrees warmer here in southeastern 30's. but everybody is getting melting in today with temperatures above the freezing mark.

coming in during the overnight hours are kind of patchy but they'll thicken up during the daylight hours tomorrow so overnight low temperatures tonight. 20's to around 30 degrees. the winds are shifting around to the south. and the southwest tomorrow. out ahead of that next weather system so it really warms up tomorrow into the 40's. as this front approaches it takes all day for us to spawn just a couple of rain showers tomorrow evening into tomorrow night. and then behind this frontal boundary, the cold air kind of waits to come in until later in the day on wednesday so tomorrow we jump up into the mid and upper 40's. still in the low 40's on wednesday with partial clearing. thursday is quiet but it is cooler. we'll be watching down the coast thursday night. an area of low pressure coming off the south eastern united states. does this look similar? this will race out to sea. perhaps passing by close enough to give us another shot of snow around here. so we're going to have to watch the track on this very closely. perhaps another nor'easter in the making. not at much cold air in place though. we'll see if we can get snow or

if it passes enough off shore we'd miss it completely. we'll keep an eye on it. the story is a warmer one with melting coming in. jeff: winter so more snow coming at some point. cindy: of course. jeff: so far no problems of significance on our roads. again looking here at the zakim bunker hill bridge, leverett connector, everything is moving fairly well. seeing an increase in the traffic volume which is what we expect this time of the morning. we expect it to be a fairly busy commute being a monday and especially on the south shore some of those secondary roads might be slipper as well. reported. this is a crash being reported on 128 northbound right around route 95 in the canton area. it does not appear to be causing any big back-ups. again watch for slippery secondary roads because that might be a little bit of an issue for travelers. the ride on route 3 southbound between 495 and 128 from chelmsford down to burlington is only 10 minutes. that's a speed limit commute. the turnpike for metro west travelers coming on in is still in fairly good shape. keep in mind again we do have

delays on the red line because earlier work on the longfellow randy, back to you. randy: jeff, thank you. 17 after 5:00 on this monday morning. southeast is still digging out cindy, still a lot of shoveling to do on cape cod. cindy: despite much of massachusetts missing the brunt of it, the storm still dumped more than a foot on parts of the cape. in west harwich and east falmouth, the snow jackpots with more than fifteen inches, driveways, cars, trees still caked in snow this morning. the season's first big winter storm, an unwelcome reminder of last winter. >> here we go again. same thing as last year. >> oh, no, another winter. i can't stand it anymore. cindy: many who spoke to newscenter 5 say there is a silver lining from last year. they were more prepared for this winter. randy: we work od the back

cindy: that's the bright side. randy: take a look at this-- a miraculous survival after a terrifying fall. as you watch this, we can tell you that skier is okay. she fell 1,000 feet down a mountain in alaska. she tumbles out of control, nearly missing the jagged rocks. but look here. she sits up in the snow, breathes a sigh of relief. >> i'm okay. i'm okay. randy: she came away with only two injured fingers. incredible. erika: it sure is. your economy headlines this monday. asian stocks gained ground overnight mostly because oil prices rebounded from 12-year lows. right now u.s. stock futures are lower. this week wall street will be watching for new data on home sales. gas prices continue their steep plunge. the average price for a gallon of regular has dropped 14 cents over the past two weeks.

when it comes to your health, there may be some surprising reasons you can't get that scale to budge. like all those gluten-free and packaged foods. experts say even the healthy ones can irritate fat calls making them inflamed and throwing your body off balance. another culprit-- your hormones. when you're overweight, your body might not sense those hormones correctly which can cause your metabolism to slow down. and finally, you might have a food sensitivity you don't even know about. like dairy or soy. that can also confuse fat cells leading to weight gain. you don't want irritated fat cells. randy: mine are so confused. erika: and angry fat cells. randy: staying with me though. erika: keep them happy. randy: solving a rubik's cube in one second. erika: the invention making it possible ahead. then new at 5:30. fugitives call the police on themselves. the circumstances they found less appealing than prison. randy: a protest at one of

just over one second. the creators use webcams that feed into a well-known algorithm for the cube, allowing the robot to complete it in record speed. randy: just what i need. erika: it reminds me of that guy who can clap really fast. the speed clapper. this is the speed reub i can's cube. amazing. randy: he just might be the most disappointed of all the patriots' fans. in our next half hour the little boy who perfectly sums up how pats' nation is feeling this morning. erika: and a student suspended for doing what he thought was a good deed. why a teacher did not want him to help a student having an asthma attack. randy: looking out across the city skyline at this hour. this is new england's "eyeopener" monday morning.

mid 30's north of town. mid and upper 30's to the south. so seasonal temperatures today but there is a warm-up coming. look at this. we're in the 40's tomorrow and wednesday. we'll talk about how that 47 may come in with some showers coming up in just a few minutes. let's go out to the roads. we did melting yesterday. below freezing this morning, jeff. i think you know where i'm going here. jeff: there might be slippery spots particularly on the secondary roads. the main roads are generally in fairly good shape. we see that here on 93. the zakim bridge coming into the city. it is getting busier. a lot more traffic than there was a short time ago. leverett connector is also in fine shape as well. but let's go to the maps. we'll talk about what's happening on the roads. we're just get ago report of a crash on 495 southbound in the raynham stretch down near route 24. not confirmed as of yet. we'll try to have more details on that in the next report for you. the slow traffic is starting to develop getting on 128 to the expressway. it is going to be busier once you hit the expressway as well. that will hit up towards 30-35 minutes before all is said and done.

that will change fairly quickly. route 24 looks fine from brockton on up from 123 to 128. the ride on 93 southbound is in good shape as well. no big problems yet but it is going to be busier from here forward. erika, back to you. erika: thank you. breaking overnight. seven people are hospitalized after severe turbulence forces a flight to italy to make a an emergency landing. the flight from miami was diverted to newfoundland. randy: a whitman man is expected to face a judge today charged with shooting at a plow driver in plymouth. the victim wasn't hit. police say 60-year-old bruce o'brien was drunk when he fired erika: today the federal government will remain closed after this weekend's historic blizzard. votes this week including one to override president obama's healthcare veto. right now students are preparing intolerance at an elite boston school. randy: the eyeopener's kelley tuthill is at boston latin where frustration is turning into
