Light snow showers today

A dusting has accumulated so far in Keene, but only very light snow showers or flurries will continue through this evening. Expect no more than half an inch of snow through tonight. Cape Cod and the islands could pick up 2 to 4 inches as the storm heads east of the region.

Pattern changes: Winters strong hold over the east coast the past 3 weeks will weaken as an overall pattern change brings a trough over the west coast and encourages the building of a ridge in the southeast. High temperatures will rise into the 30's and 40's (0 - 10 above average) over the last week of February. Our last frigid day will be on Monday behind the clipper system when highs will be in the teens and wind chills below zero.
