the patriots and chiefs are announcer: now hayley lapoint and your forecast. hayley: this morning, we had rain, sleet, and snow. you can see a fresh blanket in dublin with icy spots in the parking lot. there is a live look at the traffic circle in derry. as we have fallen below freezing in a lot of spots, melting during the day could be re-freezing on the roadways, especially untreated areas.

look at some of the snow totals across the state. arrington with the most i have seen, four inches. 2.8 in greenland. 2.3 inches and .9 in concord. that was the case into southern portions of the state. manchester international a barely got a dusting. we have a season total of 9.4 inches. on average for this time in january, we would have 25.8 inches of snowfall. we are well below that. last year at this time before the big blitz of snowstorms at the end of january and early february, we had 22 inches so we are running well below not only the average but what we have had in years past at this time. lots of clouds overhead now.

i would not be surprised if higher elevation snow showers get going overnight as colder air is getting pulled down behind this system. we have lots of cloud cover toward the west. we are not out of the woods in terms of cloud cover. tomorrow, we are dodging a system to the south. this will move through the carolinas and then out to sea. the clouds associated with it will be moving across the area. sunshine. that fades as clouds moved in. 33 now in concord. 30 in nashua. most of us flirting with the freezing point or below. spots were there has been melting are now freezing. overnight, scattered snow showers in the mountains with maybe an additional inch or so. that will fade overnight. 8:00 sunday morning, mostly sunny across the state.

here come the thick clouds. by the afternoon, it wins the battle and we will lose the sunshine. overnight sunday into monday, things get interesting. we haven' t arctic -- we haven' t arctic cold front and alberta clipper coming across the state. right around the morning commute , there will be snow showers and snow squalls. within some of the snow squalls you can get low visibility. be careful of that early monday morning. the rest of the day on monday it looks good. we will clear out and see more sunshine. here is the forecast tonight. mountain snow showers and partly cloudy conditions. tomorrow, 30' s across the state. for skiing, a great day tomorrow with sunshine. monday, more snow showers. colder early next week and watching the potential for more

the chiefs responded and kicked a field goal with 12 seconds to go in the half. 14-6 is your score. they are playing in the third quarter. this should be a big second half. the patriots doing a great job so far against the good chiefs defensive front seven. jamie: the scoreboard said 14-6. i don' t know who is building our graphics but that person needs to be reprimanded. 32 offense a place in the first half, 28 were tom brady passes or runs. one-dimensional bookmarking. jason: it certainly is. the chiefs have done a nice job of mixing it up. they have been able to run the ball on the patriots. alex smith started the game 5-5 but then 5-16 at the tail end. i think the chiefs need to mix it up. the patriots have proven they
