National park service also helping to clear bridges. But air travel continues to be impacted. Nearly 600 flights were canceled today. And we know that some people are worried, but weve, that weve been left out of the snow belt. But actually were seeing similar conditions that we saw at this time last year, at least before this arrived. 31 inches fell in litchfield on january 27. And for a look at where we stand for snowfall so far this year, lets bring in meteorologist josh judge. That we turned things around. Last year we had had the thanksgiving storm, but after that had been relatively quiet. So far in year, total snow for the entire season is 12. 4 inches. This is for concord. And you break that down, there was none in november. 4. 4 in december, and eight inches in january so far. Of course weve got a little bit of january left, but were toward the end. So where do we stand in history on this . Were taking a look right here, and we are currently tied for fifth place. Its hard to believe but there were several years that up until this point of january and through the end of january there were less snow than what weve seen this year. So far, 12. 4 inches, but were just barely above 1954 and 55. Take a look at this, this is how much snow we ended up with all those years after the really the average snowfall is 64. 5 inches for the entire season, and all of these years ended up with less. Could there be any snow in the offing for this week to change that . Mike haddad has details on that. Mike yes, josh, its been a struggle to get the snow. And of course today with the reading up to 50 degrees no chance at all. But the pattern is beginning to cool down a little. Notice the time lapse out at the coast, in portsmouth we did have some breaks of sunshine at times. But quite a few clouds, and despite the cloud cover, how about the temperatures, again making a run well above the average, and looking ahead, yes, we do cool down a little bit but still remain above the norm all week long. Good chance of some snow showers later on tonight and into tomorrow, mainly in the North Country. Otherwise mainly dry into thursday, and then there is a chance of a few snow showers or flurries later thursday night into friday, and then again later on saturday. As the pattern is somewhat active. Compared to a big storm threat across the northeast. Youll notice on Doppler Radar right now, not too much happening, a few sprinkles darting through. A few more upstream will accompany slightly cooler air later tonight. More snow showers back to the west. Best threat of those tonight and tomorrow will be northern and western New Hampshire. There could even be a light accumulation. The highs today, again making a run, keep in mind the average is 31 degrees. 15 above that in the state capital. 50 in nashua, close to that in manchester and even near the coast, topped off in the upper 40s of even up north in the 40s as well. And even atop mount washington, not all that bad for over 6,000 feet up. Here and now, 30s and 40s across the board, well above the norm. So were jumping a head on the calendar. Overnight tonight not that chilly. The low, 31. For a daytime high this time of year. So again a mild start for the day tomorrow. Even though it will be mild early tomorrow morning, relatively speaking, theres some cooler air that begins to build on in. So not a big temperature jump during the day tomorrow. We should top off on average mid 30s north, lower 40s south before we cool a little bit later in the day. No big storms, a couple of snow showers chances, first one will move in late tonight and especially tomorrow in northern and parts of western New Hampshire. There was a slight chance of a sprinkle or flurry that may survive the trip into parts of southern New Hampshire during the afternoon. Fair amount of sun for thursday morning. Then jumping a head to the afternoon, a few clouds will build in later in the day into friday. A couple of snow showers with an upper level system as a big storm scoots well off shore of new england. No chance of that getting in here, but could be a light accumulation, especially in northern parts of the state. Mostly cloudy, mixed shower up north changing over to snow showers later on tonight. Tomorrow clouds and sunshine, showers in the mountains. There could be a sprinkle or flurry elsewhere. Showers friday. A little bit of light snow or flurries later saturday, as another warm front moves in. So sunday and monday were right back to 40 plus. Jean an amazing run here, thanks, mike.

Get equal pay for women. Cut the cost of health caret and child care so people canr actually get ahead. Hillary clinton, she has what it takes to get things done. Im Hillary Clinton and i approve this message. phone ringing you cant deal with something, by ignoring it. Candidates seem to be dealing with Social Security. Americans work hard, and pay into it. So our next president needs a real plan to keep it strong. elephant noise josh continuing our commitment 2016 coverage, we asked the president ial candidates what they would do to reduce gun violence in our country. Heres the first round of answers. Thats hard, because i think youre talking now about the character of men, and women. But violence is something that seems to have gotten worse in the last several decades. Some say lets just ban guns. Im not for that. You would have to change the constitution in order to ban guns. And i think ends are also used in good ways by good people and bad ways by bad people. If you take guns away from the good people then only the bad people will have them and criminals dont care about laws. If youre a suicide terrorist, more gun control laws arent plan on dieing when you finish. So i think ultimately we do need more self defense and i think we should announce basically to people who are wanting to perpetrate these horrific murders, we should announce to them that there are not going to
