With these mild temperatures, expect the snowpack to continue to melt away.
High temperatures will stay in the 40s for highs for much of the week, with some opportunities for rain shower activity.
Bitterly cold conditions are in place again Tuesday morning.
Actual air temperatures will fall below zero Monday night.
Lows were dropping toward zero degrees, and factoring in the brisk winds will make it feel like -15 to -25 degrees outside.
Monday and Tuesday will be the coldest days, with dangerously cold wind chill readings in the -15 to -25 degree range.
Snowfall reports as of 9 p.m. range from 1.5" to 4".
Widespread snowfall totaling 4 to 6 inches is expected through Wednesday, with isolated higher amounts along the North Shore.
A snowstorm Wednesday into Thursday looks to have a lot of moisture associated with it, meaning at least a few inches of accumulating snow right now is looking more likely.
By midday, ice will thaw as temperatures rise to around 40 degrees.
Widespread freezing rain and drizzle are causing untreated roads, sidewalks, and driveways to become icy and slick.
Light snow showers begin Wednesday morning, turning to a freezing rain threat by evening and into the night.
Monday's highs will reach close to 50 degrees.
