two of three towns and ted cruz took the other. these amount to only a handful of votes but it could be the start of some momentum for the candidates so much more is ahead. first i check to check in with cindy and a look at your forecast. cindy: fortunately the weather is quieting down after yesterday's storm. shouldn't be any impact for thoaks trying to get out and do their voting today in new hampshire. boston. we are 20 degrees. winds have settled back down. they're around 10 miles per hour this morning. we're noticing on radar just a couple of snow showers here. across the area. these have been moving through hour. so a couple of flurries left over at worcester but north of there as you head up toward leominster over to pepperell, even down to acton, just a couple of very light snow showers out toward gardner as well. falling apart. look at the at thes. teens right now. 16 in worcester. 19 lawrence to beverly. not a lot is happening on the radar. keep in mind, anything that is

morning. you want to watch for the slick spots. there could be an additional snow shower or two today. we're going to have a northerly wind. so anything that would happen would likely be ocean effect as we get toward midday into the foofn. otherwise just a lot of cloud cover today. notice the temperatures coming out of the teens and 20 degrees. up to about 30 by midday. we should top out today right around the freezing mark so it's a much quieter day overall. let's get you out to the roads right now watching for the slippery spots this morning. olessa: we've still got a loft those especially on the secondary streets and also even the major streets. you can see the shine on the road surface indicating possibly slick spots. be careful. give yourself a little extra travel time. that's the zakim and the leverett connector. as you can see issue free at this point. no construction to deal with because of the weather. the rest of your ride also very quiet. no trouble spots reported right now. south of town you're good. no problems on 95, 24, route 3. also along the pike and route 9. and as you travel north of town getting by without any concerns at least for now. so far the trains and the bus s

i'm olessa stepanova. that's a look at your traffic. >> from wcvb channel 5 boston. this is commitment 2016 special coverage. the new hampshire primaries. republican field, today will be a fight to just stay in the and this image may look very different this time tomorrow. the eyeopener's kelley tuthill is live in nashua with the final flourish that you could call offensive. kelley: just call it an exclamation point on what's been one of the most unconventional campaigns this state has ever seen. trump: she said i never expect to hear that from you again. she said (bleep): kelley: the crowd cheered as donald trump took a cue from a woman in the audience to describe what he thought was rival ted cruz's weak response to this weekend's debate question about waterboarding. meantime, with just a few

is fighting for the number-two spot arguing that he's the better long-term choice. rubio: the democrats do not want to run against me. they know if i'm our nominee, we win. just today another poll comes out and confirms i'm the only republican that beats hillary clinton in new hampshire. kelley: one potential republican voter telling us the sheer number of candidates in this race is making it hard to decide. democrats, it's a one-on-one battle. with just hours before the polls open here. kelley: that's right, emily. this morning, hillary clinton and bernie sanders are locked in a bitter fight after that virtual tie in iowa. clinton telling our janet wu, the sanders camp has demonized her. clinton: i do think senator sanders' campaign should do more to rein in some of the

that unfortunately they're putting out there. kelley: at the same time, clinton accused sanders of taking money from wall street firms through the democratic senate campaign committee. for his part, sanders stayed on message in derry last night not addressing his rival's comments. sanders: together we're going to create an economy that works for working families not just the one percent. kelley: polls do show sanders but we've all seen new hampshire voters turn surveys upsidedown. emily? emily: kelley, absolutely right. if you want to get some clues about which way this thing will go, there are three signs to watch today. our democratic analyst mary ann marsh says, look at the polls. the closer hillary clinton gets to within 5% of bernie sanders, the more likely an upset. second, watch the turnout.

better the chance for sanders. and finally, look for buses on >> if there are a lot of buses at u.n.h. and all the other colleges, that's good for bernie sanders. same-day registration in new hampshire, college kids love he'll register them, take them to the polls. advantage bernie sanders. emily: there are plenty of signs to look for in that crowded republican field, too. we'll break that down in our next half hour. erika, back to you. erika: emily, thanks so much. newscenter 5's reporters and analysts will have the results as they come in tonight. our coverage begins at 4:30 p.m. all the way to midnight. and download our wcvb news app to get results at your fingertips in real-time. randy: seven after 5:00. right now crews are cleaning up after the storm rocked the coastline. this was high tide in marshfield overnight water pouring over the sea wall and onto the street. cindy, snow is really just part of the issue on the south shore.

the coastline cleaning up from the mess all the tidal flooding left behind. in brant rock, plows were moving rocks left behind by crashing waves. the surge of water flooding streets all over town. another issue-- white-out conditions for much of the day as the wind kicked snow around throughout the night. >> you know the drifts are crazy. in my backyard, they're up to four feet high. but just snowblowing now, it's probabaly five inches. cindy: a new seawall in marshfield prevented extreme flooding like in the past. cleanup crews will now survey the damage. though the storm is moving out fortunately. a couple snow showers in the forecast the next few days. i'll break down the timeline coming up just a few minutes. erika: it is now 5:08. new this morning. we're tracking new developments in the worsening opioid crisis in massachusetts. the eyeopener's doug meehan is here with the change that could

departments. doug: many police departments are already at the forefront of this fight. now a new bill would make sure anyone who goes to a police station and asks for help with drug addiction is not charged with a crime. state representative ann margaret ferrante says her plan was inspired by the the angel program in gloucester. police there have started helping addicts get treatment instead of arresting them. ferrante says this would really just be an expansion of the good samaritan law already on the books in massachusetts. erika? erika: the man convicted of raping and killing a university of new hampshire student faces a parole board today. seth mazzaglia will push for a shorter sentence related to witness tampering. his life sentence in the 2014 murder of lizzi marriott will not change. randy: taking to the streets over jobs at logan airports. erika: the cause moving workers to rally. and boston mayor marty walsh is saying no to space savers. the difference this time around that'll get those place-holders tossed. randy: commitment 2016 with a closer look at the independent voter. emily returns with a closer look

factor. erika: and we do have some breaking overnight results from new hampshire. early voting in some very small towns put senator bernie sanders on top in two of three locations. on the republican side, voters in two of those three towns made ohio governor john kasich their pick. stay with newscenter 5 for complete primary coverage.

good morning from vernon hill school in worcester massachusetts. rice and shine randy: rise and shine and here we go. what could be better than starting your tuesday morning with a song. a lovely job by the kindergarteners at vernon hill

rise and shine. erika: we could listen to them sing all day. you can always sing us an eyeopener wake-up call. just go to the front page of wcvb.com and upload it in the u-local section of our website. snoam i like the little girl in the corner with good manners. cindy: so how about yesterday? it's over. olessa: let's forget it. cindy: 24 hours ago we were talking about a blizzard warning. it was officially. it did meet that criteria. those winds gusting to 35 miles per hour, reducing the visibility to a quarter mile or less for three hours in a row. that happened in six spots officially from nantucket and the vineyard all the way up toward the plymouth area for more than three hours here. many spots doing it for four. so it was an official blizzard. officially here being hardest hit down in parts of south eastern most massachusetts and especially the cape is ex-spepghted. the amounts really dropped off the farther west that you went.

low end of the forecasted range. we did have 10 inches of snow. nantucket almost 10 inches. west yarmouth all come inning with nine. we were close to that 8-9 inch mark around the plymouth area with 8.1. north weymouth close to eight. worcester 5.5. boston officialally logan airport 6.4 inches of snow from this storm. you can see it's moving away right now. still steadier snow parts of northern and eastern maine up through nova scotia. as that storm pulls away there's another one here to our south and more energy hanging back to the west. we aren't really clean behind this storm. it's still unsettled. that will keep a lot of cloud cover in place today. you see one batch of snow showers lifting on through the area but they're falling apart right now. so we have some very light snow around the worcester area. just flurries now auburn up north through holden over to berry. light snow around pepperell towards winchen done. all very light and lifting north ward and dissipating as it does so.

16 in worcester. lots of 19 frs boston to lawrence to beverly. 20's plymouth on down to the cape. fortunately the winds have died down. with temperatures in the teens to around 20 degrees just keep in mind there may be some slippery spots this morning. anything that is untreated may be slick. you want to watch for those slick spots. an additional snow showers today look pretty minimal. notice as we go from the morning to midday where is the focus here? it's that northerly wind focusing a few ocean-effect snow showers right along the coast and especially the cape. otherwise we're looking at cloud cover over the course of the day. mainly cloudy and dry today. 20's through the worcester hills right around 30 through the merrimack valley. 30's south of the city. tonight we fall back into the teens to around 20 degrees. but the clouds stick around tonight. look at this tomorrow. another system cutting by to our south. that may spread in additional snow showers tomorrow. and all eyes are focused on this front here to the north. that is going to bring in much colder air as we head toward the end of the week and the weekend.

expect a lot of activity but during the morning commute some showers may be focused to the west. things may fill in a little bit south coast and the cape. the potential is there tomorrow for some of these snow showers to produce minor accumulations of snow. what i mean by that is maybe a coating to an inch in spots. not everyone will see them. but it would be enough to make things slippery. on thursday that front will be dropping an additional snow shower. here comes the cold. look at those temperatures by the weekend. it is valentine's day morning we may wake up to sub zero temperatures. that will be a first for this winter in boston. olessa: it can be cold. just no more snow. cindy: we're turning it down for sure. olessa: it's been a quiet start on the road. you can see a little bit of that shine on the road surface. you do want to be careful and give yourself extra time. this is route 1 in saugus. that's southbound moving to the bottom of the screen. let's go to the maps and see what else is going on. a quiet start. not contending with a whole lot. no construction overnight. that's good news heading into boston you're in good shape and

no issues on 95 out of sharon. 24 from brockton up to randolph and route 3 out of weymouth also looking good. your ride on the expressway 10-15 braintree to boston t same on the pike from 4 to 128. 93 south looking good right now. the trains and buses are running on schedule. erika. randy? emily: i'll take it from here, olessa. thank you. for months, new hampshire has been at the center of the political universe. a whirlwind of candidates all clamoring for that all-important primary win. and that very different new hampshire voter. and, boy, do they vote. the granite state, traditionally, has one of the highest turnouts in the country. in 2008, a record-breaking 500,000 people cast primary ballots here. some experts predict that will jump to 600,000 this year. a big portion of them-- those much-sought-after independents. >> i think they will matter more than ever. their numbers are growing.

candidates, really good candidates on both sides, you're seeing that they're really trying to get the independent voters. it's sort of a wild card. emily: a big factor, for sure. and one to watch as the votes come in tonight. the aftermath of monday's storm is causing some concern here. up to eight inches fell along the seacoast overnight. much of the granite state, seeing between 3-5 inches. that's more than enough to make the roads slick and discourage people from heading out. but many voters say they don't take the election lightly. >> this is the "live free or die" state. very, very serious. this little snow, like 4-5 inches, nothing. we can all vote, i hope. emily: crews out are in full force this morning, making sure those roads are clear. we should say, new hampshire voters are often more motivated than most

snow in the city of boston as well. another winter storm another fight over parking in east boston. the mayor stressing no space savers allowed. but for some, that's a hard habit to break. for decades, residents believed if you shoveled it out, it was yours. but with only a couple inches of snow and the streets cleared, some say the space savers are unnecessary. and that's turning neighbor against neighbor. people are afraid because if you move that, they will come and stab your tires. >> if you shovel it, it's yours for 48 hours, but other than that it's ridiculous. randy: the city says you can report illegal space savers to boston's 3-1-1 number or online. public works crews will toss them on trash day. erika: it is 5:20. your economy headlines this tuesday. asian stocks tumbled overnight after a sell-off triggered by growing jitters about the global economy. right now u.s. stock futures are lower. this follows another down day on wall street.

yesterday. another rally is set for today over wages at logan airport. the union seeking to boost minimum wage for airport workers to $15 an hour will demonstrate at the statehouse before a hearing on the issue. massport released a statement saying they're not opposed to the change but added lawmakers will have to decide. a spokesman also suggested any raise should apply to all workers. randy: spectacular fireworks that few people get to see. erika: the dangerous tradition in eyepoppers. doug? doug: then new at 5:30. a good deed accompanied by an even sweeter message. over the country. plus this. >> i don't even get that. i don't know how-- i don't get it. doug: a mother stunned by the accusations against her son after a stunt at a wendy's. the animal getting him charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

that in mind even though the snow showers are winding down. slick spots out there. anything untreated likely slippery this morning. there could be a few additional snow showers throughout the day. we step you forward in time here. by midday. notice right ray long the coast here, these ocean-effect snow showers with a northerly wind. they work their way toward the plymouth area and down toward the cape as we get into the afternoon. but the rest of us likely going to be dry today with mainly cloudy skies and temperatures just creeping up through the 20's here. by lunchtime upper 20's to near 30 degrees. looking for high temperatures today with the wind out of the north at about 5-15. and maybe just a touch of melting happening out there today. let's see what's happening on the roads. olessa: so far we're doing okay but as you can see the shine on the roadways here still indicating possible slippery conditions. you do want to be careful. it's go to the maps. that looks okay. so far so does the rest of your ride as you travel into town.

probably swing the election. and in the nation, so it's a really kelley: and since so many polls have shown a huge chunk of new hampshire voters are undecided, that's just adding more intrigue emily, back to you in manchester. emily: it sure is. as the voting starts, there are three signs to watch that may tell you how this crowded republican fight will end. buckingham says look for anyone who cuts out early leaving the state before the results are in. second, which governor rises to the top. bush, christie, and kasich are all vying to be the chief executive candidate. and finally watch for that unexpected moment. >> who does the howard dean scream or the come-back kid moment. who seizes the moment whether it's bad or good tonight and sends a message that really shapes their candidacy.

to what we see at this point in a typical winter. normally at this point in the winter season we've had more than two feet of snow. that. we were nowhere near where we were at this point last year. all that snow that we had last season. you can see the storm from yesterday lifting on out. lingering over the state of maine. although that snow is getting unsettled right now. another storm. this is mainly going to miss us and head on out to sea. some energy hanging back to the west. west. just a lot of cloud cover in place today. we actually a band of snow showers lifting through this morning. these are falling apart right now. i'm tracking just a couple of flurries here from rutland, leominster up to nashua. that's the extent of it. there isn't a lot falling from the sky this morning. the temperatures are in the teens. 19 in boston. 16 in worcester. some 20's plymouth down to the cape. that is cold enough to make some schippery spots this morning. so do watch out for those icy spots. right now 20 degrees most spots by 8:00 this morning.
