New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
After a few inches of snow on Thursday, we will have a snow free weekend. While, I wish I could say that there will also be some warm temperature, I can’t. Winter has nestled in and made herself at home. Out “warmest” day will be Saturday with a sweltering 36 degree day-time high and Friday and Sunday’s highs will be right smack at freezing with 32 degrees. Ironically, Saturday will start our as the coldest day of the weekend with a low of 18 degrees. Dress warm, scrape off those cars, and salt those walkways if you haven’t yet!
