massachusetts said, this nuance -- belongs to us. there was a big controversy. the compromise was everyone by way of compensation, massachusetts will hold land title to this vast area under dispute. it happened that massachusetts-based land companies were given by the commonwealth the right to settle those zones and did so, and organized villages on the move with entire groups of people from one town, moving out to this vast area of contested land in new york, led by their clergyman to create new england style villages in upstate new york. this is why so many of the towns in that region resemble those in new england. fast-forward to the creation of the northwest territory and the ohio territory, and you run into the same problem. that blue bit of their the lake in ohio around cleveland -- that is the western reserve, of connecticut. if you match it up, that is connecticut's strip. connecticut based land companies ended up settling the section known as the western reserve. if you look today, pull out your brand mcnally not, a lot of towns had the same place names

in central massachusetts. this afternoon lower 30s here we come with those partly cloudy conditions. flurries are not going to be a huge deal today. not going to give you any kind of snow accumulation. 37 degrees in norwood right now dropping back into the upper 20s by 9 a.m. and hovering very close to freezing this afternoon. futurecast more than flurries actually have some ocean -- some lake effect snow showers going all the way across new york into parts of central new england and western new england. and that is simply because the winds are strong enough to carry that far. but we are going to have to watch it. that is something that we will keep our eye on today because those few towns will be impacted most of us today stay impacted most of us today stayed dry. by tomorrow morning, if you were up early enough, you will see a little bit of sunshine. clouds quickly fill in, and by 3 p.m., we have some really light precipitation out there along the coastline. it will be rain, but further inland outside before

i think we will stay above freezing all along the coastline and all of southeastern massachusetts but here across parts of worcester county even into middlesex and southern new hampshire close to the freeing mark and with that drizzle moving in off the ocean and some of that could freeze on contact. it's. >> the big type of system but these are the one that sneak up on everybody and create icy streets and so an abundance of caution tonight and the first half of the day tomorrow war few snowflakes might mix in acumulation limited there. like today. temperatures. and a few showers develop heading towards the evening. looking at the breakdown across freezing. no ice. if you are into the pink area sheer, areas of freezing -- here, areas of freezing low areas developing. across far northern massachusetts and new hampshire tomorrow. for saturday. to 47 and many areas across the interior will stay in the 30s tomorrow. and we will watch the more sunday. pretty dynamic storm here. rainfall. winds kick up and wet we will get the burst of warmer air during the afternoon and all toll even though
