70s, so it's going to be a shock to the system. current temperature is close to freezing, 33 for beford, norwood as well, 30 in worcester, 34 in boston. and the wind chill readings making it feel like it's in the mid 20s in most spots, feels like 20 in worcester. doesn't take much of a breeze to add that chill in the air. so make sure you have all of your exposed skin not exposed and covered up and you'll be just fine. now, we do have cloud athat have moved in from the west with the exception of the south shore, duxbury, down through cape cod and the islands as well. but overnight tonight i don't think those temperatures will drop a whole lot more, because of the cloud cover. so mid 20s to freezing for our lows tomorrow morning and then tomorrow, again, another typical winter day to get used to that. 37 to 43 for those highs. this is the kind of cold we can deal with, plus we have the sunshine with us today. tomorrow similar story, but then here is the cold that we're talking about coming in. it's dry, frigid air coming in

going to change things up for us, as that arctic front makes its way into the area overnight tomorrow. so seasonable for tomorrow, but watch what happens as we get in front coming through, the cold air drops in but we're also seeing this northerly wind component that could cause ocean effects snow showers. how this happens is that you get that cold dry air coming over relatively warm ocean waters, we're talking ocean temperatures between 45, 47 degrees, that's when you get an unstable air mass, this is very similar, same setup as ocean effect snow showers, which can dump feet of snow as you get to the eastern side of the great lakes. so this is what we're in for for monday, snow showers, snow squalls, second drop a couple inches quickly and reduce visibility. a coating to one inch across the south shore, and then more significant snow out to the middle and outer cape,

these will be localized events, you'll get one inch here, three inches there, but we'll keep an eye on it for you. we aren't expecting any snow in boston. next weekend does look ike storm, but at this point looks more wet than white. >> sport coming to you live from florida, the patriots kicking off 2016 but watching up the 2015 season, we'll have a preview of their game against

three here putting b.c. up by four. but they couldn't slow down brandon ingram and this is a guy who the celtics would love to get their hands on, and this is why. off the dribble, dunking over two b.c. players, he drops 25 and 9 and duke winnings it 81-64. northeastern looking to move to 2-0 in caa play, visiting unc wilmington. 63-63, just seconds left. check out the gorgeous play, donnelly to miller, the easy layup at the buzzer to win it. huskies look like they could be the favorite in the colonial once again. and they take it 65-63 the final. the winter classic is over, but the hangover isn't for the bruins. the team openly admitting after the game they were embarrassed about their effort against montreal. the bruins 35-1 loss the most lopsided winter classic in nhl history. boston trying to move forward with the eastern conference leading capitals on tuesday and they'll try to forget this

>> some games this year where we didn't play our best and at this point tonight on the big stage for the winter classic to not show up, but at the same time you have to put it behind you and move forward. we're playing some big teams coming up. >> we gotta be ready for the big stage when it comes to the playoff season, and i hope we learned a lesson here and learned that we've got to be better. >> anchor: team u.s.a. taking on david passer the pack in the czech republic in the world junior championship, the americans keeping pasta off the bore as the united states moves onto the semifinals with this 7-0 win. austin matthews a hat trick for team u.s.a., and next up russia on monday. the first four nhl all-star roster spots are announced, jagr, kane, ovechkin and scott win the fan votes, the rest of the team will be revealed on wednesday. that's a look at 7 sports.
