get everybody and you got to go out. >> boston police have this common rule of thumb, if you see something, say something. reporting in copley square, wbz news. wbz is a media sponsor for first night in boston. highlights, more than a dozen ice sculptures on display starting at 1:00 in several places around the city, daniel hall and the seaport and coples square. if you can't stay up take the show tomorrow at 7:00 on boston common produced by b4 productions and you say goodbye for 2015 with the big show over boston harbor starting at midnight to usher in the new year. >> there should be no problem frozen. >> it should be just right. in terms of temperatures for the next couple of days, we have had sleet and freezing rain and bob sent this, horror frost. water vapor that deposits on any surface creating these icy needles and so winter is showing itself in all of these forms all of a sudden when it was in the 70s last week and watching the storm system from the south. not a large storm system but we are seeing the freezing rain, treacherous travel. pretty steady freezing rain from manchester to salem and parts of newberry and hampton and seeing it move on. steady freezing rain from garber to clinton and now it is basically it will be a really slick nasty night and the crews sanding and salting. we are drawing a line from boston right around norwood and providence. if you are south and east it is rain showers and anything north and west, we hold onto the cold and icy and not causing power outages, it is about travel. freezing rain to three a.m. and may be extended longer. but hour by hour i'm not expecting warming to take place. the same areas, boston north and west, you all stay in the 20s to lower 30s looking at icing for tomorrow morning and as the showers move out, still a little bit of fog and dampness and below freezing we won't see the melting. nasty stuff for the final day of 2015. for mid-morning the showers will depart and the sun will come out and the wind picks out and dryer air flows in. temperatures start to rise and the clouds break up as we head to midday and seeing sun and it is breezy near 40s and for the evening if you are traveling tomorrow night, there will be some refreezing and anything that melts and otherwise no weather issues. a high of 45 in boston and 47 in hyannis and southern new hampshire and parts of northern wooster in the 30s. tomorrow night, we got plans heading to town to do traveling and it looks like we will be in good shape. 40s at 4:00. by midnight, clock strikes, 2016 and 30 degrees, a chilly night and not too cold and not too hot. gold dee locks. the first day in the winter class, in the 40s, comfortable at gillette stadium cheering on the bruins. the weekend upper 30s by day skies and watching the artic front on sunday bringing in more snow. sugar loaf the best weekend and staying cold for friday, saturday and sunday and seven- day forecast in the 20s and coming offer of the ocean. the 60s and 70s and the 50s and most of the 40s they have said goodbye for a while. they were good when we had them. a major match-up for the patriots. they need a win to get home- field advantage and tom brady welcome back. kobe bryant and the last game in boston didn't want gifts or video montages or presents for his family. but the celtics did give him something, they gave him the game. the lakers beat the celtics, 112-104. for the lakers, the 6th win of year. here is kobe. >> playing his final game in boston number 24, kobe bryant! kobe went out and couldn't make a shot. he still has moves but the legs are not there. he finished with 15 points of five of 18 shooting but he saved his best for last. wearing purple and gold and the lakers get the celtics all they could handle. jay crowder with three and marcus smart with the follow-up jam and the hard fall. what a play but the lakers led by 11 in the 4th and boston got within two of the steal and picked the pocket and goes the distance and celtics will pull off the come-back. who will make the big shot? you guessed it? kobe. from 25 feet away. the three-pointer, the dagger, lakers win 112-104 the final. this place has meant a lot for my career. i can't stretch that enough and to be in this building and be able to experience this and i remember my daughter was having a hard time with softball striking out and crying and mad and i showed her the video of us losing to the celtics and crying and i said listen, it is fine, you just got to bounce back. great player. great player. as for the patriots believe it or not they practiced outside and gronk said his hands were freezing but they won't be freezing in miami. if the pats win they have the number one seat and home advantage, if they lose, they have the two seat, how important is it to get the top seat? >> i think it is better to win this game than to lose this game. you obviously like to play at home because of the communication and so forth but you know all of those games you know whoever wins in the playoffs is the team that place the best on that day, not whether home or away, it is who i think this game is really important for us because you know it is a great goal for us to be the number one seat. my friends, we will be back right after this. this is one production you don't want to fail. the crew working the ball drop wants to make sure it is ready for tomorrow night. it checked out fine. and 32,000 led lights and 3600 crystals. we'll be right back. . it is icy and foggy. recommend not traveling if you
