Within the next 24 hours we will see a potpourri of weather from snow to ice to rain its going to be a messy day tomorrow with travel conditions the worst through the Morning Hours as we see that transition from snow to that icy mix and rain. In fact, im expecting to see poor conditions all the way through your lunch hour. By the afternoon, evening thats when well see that full transition to rain especially across the boston area and points south. By the evening we should see precipitation lighten up and dwindle although well have to really continue to monitor those temperatures, especially the further north you go. So we do have a Winter Weather advisory in effect until 1 00 p. M. Tomorrow in the boston area. Points south is going to be towards the evening hours. Well have this Winter Weather advisory in effect a winter storm watch actually for the east coast of the berkshires expect to see hire snowfall totals and ice across this region that could be problemic. So our system right now still pushing through the midwest bringing snowfall to the great lakes, rain pushing close are to the eastern seaboard. But you can see right into new england were already getting our first few flakes. Places like north shore as well as into the parts of New Hampshire. Look at the temperatures 20s into the north and. We thris down across the southeast. Could be even a few flurries on nantucket. But notice 36 degrees. Warmer air will start to work on in and thats why well see that transition. A closer look some light snow very possible right now from the north shore through lawrence. Expect to see some of the snow also travelling along 91 through vermont youre likely going to see some of that snow starting its going to be tough to stick at first. Weve had such a warm december. As well see a period of start to pick up on some accumulation. But notice by 6 00 were already seeing the transition from snow to an icy mix from boston to worcester points south. Further than that as we head towards the island. Now that rain snow line will continue to push northward through the morning but icy conditions from boston into worster this is around 8 00.

So as for the amount of snow it doesnt look to be too much with a coating to a couple inches being washed away slushy for the morning. Higher amounts two to four Northern New England making out with about six to 12 inches. Ice could be a problem on top of that snow. Something well have to continue to monitor.

Bill belichick bold coaching tricks that have work. Choosing to kick to Peyton Manning patriots win by 3. Yesterdays decision to kick off in overtime just as bold as fourth and 2 in indy in 2009, both those decisions resulting in losses. Its more than fair to criticize belichicks decision based on the the results. But i will defend belichick on his decisiveness. He doesnt waiver in these situations and he didnt waiver today when asked again about yesterdays i thought that was our best opportunity thats why we did it. Didnt like the way it worked out but to me that was the right decision. It seems like much ado about nothing for me. What are we doing here. If the coach thinks thats the best thing to do to win theres nobody that we trust more to decide that than win. Its hard to inspire your coach when you dont do much offensively all day.
