death every five or six days based on the numbers, that's an outstanding number, that's one person a week that is dying from an addiction that can be preventible. reporter: manchester police say this was a trend that started at the end of 2014. according to experts, the reasons for the spike in overdoses vary, from prescription drug abuse to the explosion of the powerful and fentanyl. chris of the american medical response says they responded to 246 overdoses in nashua last year, with 15 being deadly. >> we saw a significant increase, especially in the second half of the year in nashua. september, october, november and december, big spikes in the numbers that brought us to the levels in panthers. reporter: the legislature held a special session to deal with the crisis, law enforcement says it's important to remove the stigma of addiction. >> we think that with the recovery centers opening up,

see it. tom: one of the coldest nights of this season ahead of us tonight. mike: it's been a struggle to get a lot of cold air and we talked about it great news for the ski areas, but tonight bitterly cold. announcer: 3 republican governors. but which governor won national praise for tough leadership handling nine hurricanes? which governor made his state

which governor led the fight to stop obamacare expansion in his state? and which governor laid out a tough plan to destroy isis months before the paris attacks? jeb bush. right to rise usa is responsible

jennifer: tonight will bring the coldest temperatures of the season so far. tom: you're taking a look live outside our newsroom here in manchester, where it is a very chilly 15 degrees right now. meteorologist josh judge tells us how long it's been since cold. josh: yes, last night was the first night and tonight will eclipse it. but how long has it's been since we've been below zero? because not everywhere will go below zero. certainly northern new hampshire, and a chance that parts of central new hampshire could go below zero as well. so how long has it's been? concord it was march 7, and even longer ago for manchester, february 28 was the last time that we were below zero. keene was march 7, and berlin, the most recent, was march 20. that was only 41 weeks ago. but many other parts of the state between 43 and 44 weeks ago. i mentioned last night was the coldest night we've seen so far,

even the north country hasn't gone below zero yet with one exception, it's presently minus 8 there. even mount washington has only gone below zero five times in year, that twas twice in november, twice in december and once this month, meaning today. now let's take a look at this cold air and will it go below zero or where it might happen, mike haddad has details on that. mike: yes, we are tracking the cold air building in, it's colder right now than it was this morning sowrks get the idea it's going to be quite chilly, but not cold enough just yet due to some very strong winds to create an ice sheet out there. still open water at the weirs, and newfound lake. there were clouds in southern and eastern sections, but as you can tell radar scopes are high and dry all over new hampshire. the only snow to be had right now over the southeastern section of massachusetts and down towards the cape due that

the relatively warm waters of the atlantic and winds out of the north. if they were to turn around to the east, then we start to see snow moving in from that direction, but the wind remain off shore right through tomorrow. down to three in berlin, two in whitefield, 8 below atop mount washington. right at 10 in jaffrey and keene. so all these temperatures about as low as they've been all day long and even earlier this morning, so we're going to be talking about some bitterly cold air into early tomorrow. wind chills, some spots below zero like in plymouth and the upper valley, with the winds about 15 to 20 miles per hour. overnight tonight the wind go light, down about 10 to 15 below up north, on average around zero lakes region down to concord, a little below this the upper valley, if the wind go light enough. same story in keene, about two or three above and a little coastline. notice the cold air locked in over the east, but it moves out

wednesday, so that by wednesday afternoon our temperatures will be running above the average yet again. so only a two-day cold snap here with the temperatures more seasonable and pleasant for wednesday, thursday, friday and even into the weekend. speaking of the weekend, a lot of cold air begins to surge in over the plains states, warm air off the eastern seaboard, that means the weather pattern will become more active. how active, still in question. but it does look like a little bit of light snow at least likely in spots on saturday, and maybe another system to track later sunday into sunday night. right now it's on the dry side, notice on future cast, clear skies, lots of sun for the day tomorrow and more sun into the day on wednesday. in terms of temperatures, we top off on average in the upper teens north, 20's elsewhere tomorrow and then milder, 30's to around 40 as we go into wednesday, so again this cold air will not stick around all that long. beyond wednesday, temperatures not all that bad for thursday with a lot of sun, upper 30's to

lower to mid 30's north, partial sun on friday. a little light snow can't be ruled out on saturday, we'll track that closely and see if another system follows it later on sunday. tom: now we await the second season, right? >> that's right, playoffs in the nfl, that means some coaching changes. we know chip kelly was fired from the eagles, he's on the job

(donkey noise) (elephant noise)

making noise, (tapping sound) and making sense. (elephant sound) when it comes to social security, our next president needs a real plan to keep social security strong. (elephant noise) hey candidates. enough talk.

you got people working incredibly long hours. median family income today -- $4,000 less than it was in 1999. the bottom line of this economy is that it is rigged. what this campaign is about an economy that works rather than a handful of billionaires. if you work 40 hours a week in america, you should not live in poverty. i'm bernie sanders,

>> tom brady had an m.r. it on his injured ankle today which revealed no breaks or fractures, it's just a sprain. brady said that he'll get treatment and will be ready to go the two weeks for the playoff game. he was injured in the first half of yesterday's 20-10 loss to miami. yesterday's loss was new england's fourth in its last six games, sending the team limping boo the playoffs. but with the extra week of rest, they will hopefully get some players back from injury, like julian edelman, which would certainly help an offense that is struggling without its play makers. >> we just gotta play well two weeks from now, it's going to be one game we gotta play well, that's what the whole season will come down to. nothing over the last 16 weeks is going to matter. what will matter is how well we play in two weeks. so we have to play as well as we can.

weekend's afc wild card games, pittsburgh and cincinnati, kansas city and houston, that's the early game, you can see that an channel 9. denver and new england are byes. patriot will host the highest remaining seed on january 16, a 4:35 start, so it will be either chiefs. chip kelly has reached out to the san francisco 49ers, interested in their head coaching job, he was fired by the eagles on december 29. in three seasons with the eeg it's kelly won 26 and 21. and it's considered black monday in the nfl, coaches and g.m.'s are usually firedded. the eagles, 49ers, browns and giants have all made head coaching changes. tom coughlin resigned, he was not fired. patriots offensive coordinator

possible replacements. concordia is in town for a 7:30 tipoff, the pen men are 8-4 overall. >> one of the things we're looking for tonight is to become a little more consistent. one of the things that hurt us the other night up in st. mike's even though we pulled out a victory was our inconsistency, especially on the offensive event, and against this team tonight we need to play 40 minutes of sound offensive basketball for us to come ahead. tom: right now on wmur.com it is mansion monday, this week we get a look into this beautiful bedford home complete with a wine cellar and home theater. jennifer: and it's a new year, that means lots of resolutions so we'll take a closer look at 13 diet resolutions you should avoid this year. tom: we'll see you back here tonight right after "the bachelor" live.
