7:17 pm
harvey: you mentioned with jerry talking about summer weather and spring weather, this weekend a bunch of mild spring weather will be in the air. this is a cold night, though. the wind is out of the north-northwest. it is below freezing or at thou. -- everywhere now. and on top of that, the skies clouds around the outer cape. let' s take a look at these temperatures to start your day. it will be 17 in boston, 13 orange. we will top off in the 30' s during the afternoon. again, we want to have a whole lot of wind to deal with tomorrow. -- we will not have a lot of wind to deal with tomorrow. we could hit 50 saturday or sunday, but before we get to that, we have to go through a period of cloudiness and a little bit of snow that will come inside with tomorrow night. how much snow could fall?

7:20 pm
t intimidated by any player or any team, but they do not have a game changer, a go-to guy who takes over a game in the fourth quarter. that person has yet to emerge in this club. danny ainge has resisted temptation, not any easy thing to do at such an impulsive time on the nba calendar, and in such a competitive business where patience is rarely rewarded. the celtics may win a playoff series, but that maybe it. spring and summer during the nba draft, and free agency is when the celtics will make their next move. the future is not now for a patient danny ainge, but it won' t be long before celtics fans become impatient, because they are obviously used to banners hanging. ed: and he has but one up there, almost a second one. mike l.: yeah, seven games in 2010. maria: the boy scouts always strive to be prepared.
