5:19 pm
of the if not the coldest night so far this season, lower 20's north, on average upper 20's for many and a couple of low 30's downtown manchester and right along the coast. but at least for the next couple of days, we're locked in with temperatures well below average from the great lakes, eastern canada, points south all the way into new england. and that will help play into the next system, as it will not be all rainfall from chicago points south. you notice that wintery mix in a good portion of the great starting tomorrow in some spots. but this will not be the first snow of the season. josh is standing by with a look at what happened this past weekend. josh j.: if you missed it this past weekend, there was snow in the northern part of the state, especially those areas with some elevation. here are the numbers that we were seeing this past sunday morning. check that out, five inches in the first connecticut lake region.
5:20 pm
snow, randolph four plus. jefferson one and a half. and many other locations with between three and six inches of snow fell as well, and a few photos from that snow, here's diamond pond, that feels like mid winter when you look at that shot. that was this past weekend, as was this one in stewartstown. you could tell it was a heavy wet snow, but it was there covering everything including the trees and the power lines as you saw right there. and now a live web pittsburg, and that snow has stuck, there's one view, here's back lake over in pittsburg as well. finally mount washington, you can't see anything. those are all live web cams out there right now. there's a lot of snow, and mount washington and some other spots may have some more, mike's got a look at that. mike: amazing to see winter holding on in a big way up north. with temperatures in the 30's, not going to go anywhere this evening and it gets even colder so the snow lingers tomorrow.
5:21 pm
parts of new hampshire, the next system moves in there. will be quite a bit of snow just off to our west, but as we go through the midday and early afternoon, temperatures should climb up to around 40 degrees. of course that's too warm to support snow in the lower elevations, and in areas south and east of the lakes region. but it's a different story in the monadnock region through the lake sunapee zone and white mountains and great north woods, that's where an accumulation of snow is likely. tomorrow night into friday morning before the system gradually pulls away early afternoon on friday. notice rainfall tallies could exceed an inch, up to an inch and a half possible by midday on friday. south and east of the lakes region. of course you translate that over to snow and there could be a coating to a half inch in the higher terrain of the monadnock region, maybe an inch in a couple spots. but best bet of higher amounts will be in the white mountains and great north woods, on average 3 to 6 in the lower

minimum wage in the country. right now it's $7.25 an hour, there's no state in america with a lower minimum wage than new hampshire. we can do better than that. we need to look at a significant increase in our minimum wage partly because it will mean our consumers will have more money that they can spend in our state economy. it's horrible that we have anyone who is on public assistance while they're working. and i think by raising the minimum wage, we'll be able to ensure that we have a stronger economy, less moneyo job of taking care of them and their families. and there are other programs that we can invest in in job training to heaven sure that folks are able to advance in their career. it's great that we have low unemployment in new hampshire, it's the second lowest in the country. but there's more we can do to make sure we strengthen our economy to keep our state moving forward. josh: just ahead we'll take a closer look at how the
