time square looking like that? not often. closer to home watching scituate. storm is gone and there are concerns about high tide. >> anchor: coverage with five live reporters all across the area. and let's go to our meteorologist chris lambert and jeremy reiner. >> weather: thank you. worst is gone and city cleared out. some clearing south shore. and out to the cape where that was the area that got hit with wet snow. falmouth a foot. and marston mill a foot. new bedford 8 inches. new report just in. tweeted this one. 6 inches in lynn. brighton 5.1. and logan 6.1. wakefield 3.6. hudson and stow lighter amounts. as well as mathune and nashua. flurries. we have had blizzard conditions. so officially a blizzard. nantucket blizzard martha's vineyard last night. and blizzard is not the amount

but reduced visibility. under quarter mile flee hours. and winds over 35 miles an hour. we had that in those locations. snow totals on the map show out inches. 10 inches. and then you work through metro boston area with generally five to 6 inches of snow. and it d storm over performed. i will not run and hide and say this is what i thought. no i thought we would have 1-to-3 inches. because i thought there would be more dry air out of new hampshire and chewing up snow as it advanced to boston. that did not happen. so those -- that's why numbers there are bigger than i thought. up here merrimack valley. yes, the dry air did a great job. 495 corridor, merrimack valley, coating to an inch. topsville at three. change that. that's a six. and lexington also about 2 inches of snow. so high pressure is trying to move in to new england. difference between the high and low sitting up a strong

that's all we have left in terms of the component of the storm. but that will work with the astronomical high tide to lead to coastal flooding. takes it. >> weather: all week we talked about tight gradient from 24 to 30-inch snow amounts from new york city south to lighter snow amounts, to the north. so right on the edge of it. we were just close enough to that area of low pressure to give us big time winds. block island 75 miles an hour gust yesterday. nantucket eventuality marshfield 70. rockport 55. however, we are fortunate that there were not onshore for longer sustained period of time. because of that, we have seen minor coastal flooding and not major coastal flooding they had in portions of the jersey shore. winds right now getting over 30 miles an hour. occasionally to 40 down cross the cape and islands there. will be minor splash over. south shore up to city of boston

of canada and pulling it into new england. overall it is a mild week heading our way. great pictures to far on twitter. this is from tony. this morning. beautiful shot. waltham picked up 4 inches. you have a picture, you want to take? tend it our way. snow south. shoveling there on the cape and islands. again heavy wet snow. it will be a workout there for you. so take the break. drink water. and give yourself a chance to recoup. bridgewater 6 inches. metro boston five to six. natick 5 inches. north of town, again, you notice right here for example. lynn at six. and lexington two. tops field three. only flurries and coating chelmsford and drakin. and lunenburg and jaffrey, much to do about nothing. so here are numbers. marson mill foot. and off the cape. brighton five. and wakefield 3.6.

there is the storm. moving away from new england. high pressure moving into new england. it will get there. once it does then wind will settle down. but winds gusting 15 to 25 miles an hour. and plymouth gust of 23. so windchill in plymouth feels like 12. boston is feels like eight. and fitchburg 18. that northerly wind that might lead to minor coastal flooding south shore at 11:00 a.m. high tide. there could be pockets of moderate coastal flooding as you work down through portions of nantucket harbor in particular. chatham and province town anticipating pockets of minor coastal flooding. so we talked about how this would not be a repeat of last year in terms of snow bliss but cold. in fact, chris lambert has dug some information out of the archives. chris? >> reporter: we went into second coldest month on record in boston. once we started the snow blitz last year. around this time. january 24 of 2015. 5.1 inches of snow. we had the bigger storm couple

where we got 2 feet in boston. and not only did it start the snow blitz but did not hit 40 degrees again until march 4. you know talking about almost six weeks of temperatures in the 30s or colder. you know how many of those days are teens and 20s? 6.1 inches in boston. but we are expecting to hit 47 degrees on tuesday. and we will get some melting out there. a thaw coming in here. could be a passing shower or sprinkles out there tuesday night. but all and all i expect a quiet week. storm off the coastline. thursday night to friday. keeping it off the coastline. with temperatures in the low 40s. as we head to the weekend. >> anchor: chris thank you. people are cleaning up in new england. but we did not get the worst of it. this storm made a mess across the eastern half of the country. >> anchor: snow and ice, snarling traffic made it tough for emergency crews to reach those in need. breeze joins us live with latest details. messy roads.

south of us where the brunt of the storm was. treacherous winter conditions casing serious issues. still today. this is a look at a stretch of highway in kentucky. unreletting snow there made life a nightmare for drivers there. some people were stuck for 12 hours or more on this frozen 14-mile stretch of interstate 75. and in maryland, fire crews had to walk through 20 inches of snow to battle a massive fire. a carpet store that went up in flames last night. and later collapsed. heavy winds spread the flames on other stores in that strip mall and wind. some people in new jersey, they are dealing with dangerously high water. water nearly 20 inches high inside of some homes yesterday. and some of the homeowners say they just finished rebuilding their homes after hurricane sandy. now they have to start over from scratch the in the newsroom.

pictures starting to come in on twitter. from -- that's twitter handler. town neck beach sandwich. so this is the area we watch for 11:00 a.m. high tide. might be a location where we have minor to moderate coastal flooding. snowfall totals 10-to-15 inches of snow. on the cape. and you come off the cape. numbers are generally 6-to-10 inches. metro boston about 4 to 6 inches. wall pole six. officially logan 6.1. north of town lynn, six. and then go over to redding, 2 inches of snow. then up to merrimack valley, flurries. so really sharp cutoff. we knew it would happen. but what we did not know is where cutoff would be. we thought maybe south of town. that way boston would get one or two. but cutoff here set up further north up through 495 corridor. and up to merrimack. had blizzard conditions in these communities. so, yeah, it is official. put a stamp on it.

falmouth six. marston mills. five. brighton five. and wakefield 3.1. lynn 6 inches of snow. good riddance to you snow. out you go. high pressure takes over. windy this morning. and then that wind will fade away as high pressure gets closer. chris over to you. the northerly winds yesterday. they were certainly active and certainly strong. block island 75 miles an hour. nantucket 73. and marshfield at 70. winds gusting across the cape and eyes lands but not as strong as we have had winds gusting still this morning 35 to 40 miles an hour. closer to 20 in boston. we have a gusty wind but that wind will diminish. not all that bad compared to yesterday. watching the high tides. 11:00 to noon. through cape and eyes lands. for possibility of moderate coastal flooding in nantucket. northerly winds pushing ocean water near northern coastline in

minor coastal chatham to province town. further up you go to upper cape. sandwich harbor. minor to moderate coastal flooding high tide. with winds pushing in ocean water. but overall minor. south shore to north shore. >> anchor: all right. chris thank you. hundreds of scituate people there have more than snow to deal with this morning. >> anchor: absolutely. high tide and winds causing flooding concerns along the coast. we turn to jennifer egan, who is live in scituate with details. >> reporter: nancy, good morning. we have watched the water all morning long. take a look here. waves have been getting powerful. closer and closer to next high tide. 11:15 this morning. and the waves are splashing up over the jetty here. not powerful enough to make it over the seawall here yet. they have high tide last night of course. we spoke with fire department. they did not have any issues. really just minor coastal flooding.

expected some minor to moderate coastal flooding with this storm. but, of course, they have seen storms more severe. so no real problems to report yet. of course they are watching this next high tide approaching. they did have power outages here in town b 622 homes here serviced by ever source had power knocked out by the storm. high winds that we have experienced. and we are in a protected spot. ever source said that all the homes have been brought back online now. we are live in scituate. jennifer egan, 7 news "today in new england". >> anchor: jen, thank you n sandwich meantime, around a foot of snow fell. >> anchor: that goes along with whipping winds and high tides made for a rough morning for those just now waking up. john coco is live in sandwich this morning. with a closer look. you are closer to waves or they getting closer to you john? >> reporter: they are. as we have been here this morning. water continues to move up the beach here. winds also continue to be strong. but i will show you.

than 70 homes here on the island that are having some sort of power issues. so they are dealing with that. but crews or snow plows, road crews have done an amazing job. check it out. considering there was probably a foot of snow that fell here on martha's vineyard and oak bluffs where we are right now. so crews worked overnight to morning. they have done outstanding job. only problems right now are just some power outages, and still some pretty decent wind gusts. we are live on martha's vineyard. brandon gunnoe 7 news "today in new england." >> anchor: thank you. back to mainland. boston luck out in terms of snowfall. missing the brunt of it. >> anchor: dodged the bullet. but roads are dicey. danielle is live in downtown boston with a check of the roadways and snowman you have been working on. >> reporter: i have been working on the snowman. i did get myself a shovel. and some help from our trustee photographer.

at that time no eddleman or amendola or gronk. injured in this game. this time braid comes in with offense full strength. ready to pick it out. and manning seen it 16 times before and expects similar today. >> quote belichick, we will object new england. >> tom brady and peyton here before leading up to a 17th and, perhaps, final meeting. high praise from each legendary quarterback you know playing someone 17 times is cool. so especially someone as great as him. >> to play as well as he has over the course of his career with success he has had. and their team's success. i just have a lot of respect for them. >> reporter: quarterbacks have mutual respect but broncos dolling out their fair share of trash talk as well. calling braid a cry baby and promising to go low on gronk. but after recovering from his sprained knee in week 12. gronk has a plan for the rematch. >> they are not doing anything

it is just part of the game. have to be aware of it. step up my game a bit. and maybe throw a he jupe. i don't know how many i have got. >> reporter: everyone kind of expect that is to be the case today with gronk. as we told you earlier in previous half hour. betts out in vegas on patriots side. one casino reporting that 85 percent of all betts on this game were on patriots side. that means all the money is on the patriots side in these casinos they have a lot to lose if patriots win. which is what everyone in new england is hoping for. and, i think, there is more and more patriots fans around the country than they we. reporting live in denver, joe amorosino, 7 news "today in new england." >> anchor: thank you joe for that update. go pats. stay with seven news for continuing coverage live from denver. trey and joe will be live in with your patriot's coverage. >> and still ahead on 7 news "today in new england" this

>> anchor: now, seven weather. >> weather: here we go again. i am totally ready for the game. got nachos ready. and queso. i have some shoveling to do. snow takes over. will melt some snow today. cold winds right now, and it will fade away through the afternoon. we do not have any artic air waiting to take over. you know last couple of winters we had had power house storms only to be replaced by a fresh chunk of artic air. but this storm helping to dislodge the cold air with us all last week. so air dried out. some clouds south shore will take longer to breakup. but down there out on cape and islands developing sunshine. snowfalls 10-to-15 inches on the cape.

with you come off the cape. brighton 5 inches of snow. officially for boston, logan 6.1. lynn at six. and hudson 1 inch. so high pressure is over here. back through -- never really moved entire event. that's what we thought would be able to prevent a lot of snow in boston. and what happened was we had more moisture sneak up to that boston area. and overtake the dry air. high pressure now firmly in control. moving the storm away. once the storm gets further from us winds will settle down. wind yesterday gusting between 50 and at times 75. island. hurricane-force gusting 75. not as strong today. but adding a chill to the air. winds 15 to 25 miles an hour. driving windchills down to single numbers. it feels like six in beverly. feels like 21 in nantucket. bedford 10. concern with that north wind is high tide next hour or hour and

maybe pockets of flooding north and south shore. perhaps pockets of moderate coastal flooding in particular nantucket harbor. chris? >> anchor: j.r. we like to see quiet weather after the storm. we have that. 20 in boston 22 in bedford. cold clean up. but numbers reaching lower to middle 30s. winds steady out of the north at 12 in boston. 12 in bedford. at times gusting close to 20. winds this afternoon lighter. keep sunshine through much of the day. increasing clouds late day. some patches of clouds overnight. but remains dry. monday nice and quiet. mostly sunny skies. tuesday looks good as well. in terms of mild air returning in from the southwest. now there is a front off to the west of us o tuesday. that will swing through tuesday night. cannot rule out passing shower tuesday night. but theme here next several days. we have melting done as temperatures go above freezing during the afternoon. including this afternoon. 31 to 37.

area. sunshine hitting the blacktop and southern worcester will get melting done with winds out of the north six to 12. temperatures back to teens and lower 20s. mostly cloudy for awhile. tomorrow. upper 30s. and there we go. 47 on tuesday. and wednesday, thursday, to friday. right now looking quiet. storm system just offshore thursday night and friday.
