New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
Phew. What a past few days! Is there more snow coming? We will have snow on Friday, but don’t fret – it won’t be a blizzard and will be mixed with rain. While Friday will reach a high of 37 degrees, the mornings will be VERY frigid. We will experience negative temperatures in the mornings, so be sure to bundle up when heading out. The rest of the weekend will be partly sunny with temperatures in the low to mid twenties. After this blizzard, this weekend just looks peachy!
