and lake erie. and that means snow continues as long as the winds crank up and they'll continue right through tomorrow. so additional foot, foot and a half of snow in spots that received close to two feet in central and western new york. what about new hampshire, could be a couple more flurries in southern new hampshire. but most of it will fall between now and wednesday morning. another 24 to 36 hours of it, will be in the great north woods through the heart of the white mountains. where we could see an additional one to two inches in the valleys and two to five inches in the higher terrain. but again the heaviest continues to our west, and eventually that are shut down later tomorrow night and early wednesday. the chill is out there statewide, three atop mount washington. 20's and 30's elsewhere. with busy winds making it feel colder. right now with the wind and temperature it feels below freezing statewide, 20's to

washington a.27 below zero. what about air temperatures, we're not going to drop off that much. that same wind is driving in this cold air out. eastern canada and it latest be with us at least for the next several days. so temperatures may climb two or three degrees tomorrow and maybe another two or three with full sun on wednesday. but the next system rolls in just in time for thanksgiving. that will be a weak one and mixed showers. for tonight into tomorrow, notice how most of the snow is in northern parts of the state, fair amount of partial sun in southern new hampshire and will be windy statewide. any snow showers en by early wednesday morning. back to full sun. winds begin to shut down and as far as snow, yeah, a lot more to fall, especially in the hyper terrain up north. three to six in the mountains, and one to three in the valleys on average. take a look at thanksgiving day, not a whole lot there.

coating of snow with temperatures near freezing to result in slick roads. so any shower of snow or mix that moves in prior to seven or eight will grease up the roads, so watch that. and just a couple of mixed showers from late morning through early afternoon, that's the best travel time because you've got the temperatures coming up a little. then thursday night could get dicey again, maybe more mixed showers the end of the week. so we're certainly in it out in. josh: thanks, mike. there's enough during the holidays without worrying about the food. jean: up next, tips for parents on handling picky eaters. then at 5:30. reporter: i'm sally kidd in washington with concerns about potential conflicts of interest between the president elect and his private business holdings. you'll hear from a political
