New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
On Thursday, nature reared her head and reminded us that she is still here by dumping over a foot of snow on us. Once your lower backs have recuperated from the shoveling, you’ll likely want to exorcise your cabin fever by heading out and doing something. While we are getting some flurries on Saturday (very little accumulation) and some rain on Sunday, we’ll experience temperatures in the lower 40s. So, if you’re shoveled out, you’ll have nothing stopping you from enjoying some weekend activity!
Lastly, a piece of very important advice in light of recent sad news: beware of carbon monoxide when running heaters and please take precautions.

2nd Story Theater presents: “Murder at the Howard Johnson’s” (7:30pm-9:30pm)
After a particularly bruising election year, 2nd Story Theater offers a pain-reducing balm in the form of Bobrick & Clark’s shamelessly silly, ferociously funny farce. In a line-up that promises “the ridiculous to the sublime,” this kitsch ’70’s comedy classic serves up the ridiculous. In spades. Thank God it’s sandwiched between a Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winner, otherwise we’d never be able to show our faces in this town again!
