WEATHER: Today we will see a high of a whopping 29 degrees. Later tonight we may see some snow showers but the accumulation will total less than an inch. It is going to be cold for the rest of the week but then Saturday we will have a high of 44 as it stands right now. We all know that can change in an hour though.
TRAFFIC: Traffic is moving along pretty well with the exception of a few spots. 293 North from the 93 split to the tolls is a little slow going as well as 101 East by Raymond. Other than that you are good to go!
HEADLINES: Customers again are complaining about not getting deliveries from Fred Fuller. Again their phone lines are almost always busy and they are not fulfilling prepaid orders yet again. People are calling the local news stations and expressing their frustration in any way that they can. Many have left the company in search of another local company for their deliveries. Fred Fuller could not be reached for comment (shocker).
A candlelight vigil was held last night in the gym at Strafford School to remember 7 year old Madison Weeks who died in a car accident a few weeks ago. Her mother lost control of their SUV on 202 in Rochester on the snowy roads and hit another car head on. They were on their way to dance class.
A father who had 5 shots of brandy before driving was the cause of the fatal crash on the Everett Turnpike last month that killed a 14 year old boy who was terminally ill. Nghia Huynh admitted to being drunk. His BAC was twice the legal limit. They found an open bottle in the wrecked car. Bail was set at $50,000 and Huynh will miss his son's funeral because he cannot afford to be released. The judge set the bail this high due to the severity of the crash and the fact that he had six prior speeding violations, all 15mph over the speed limit.
SPORTS: The Red Sox fell to the Pirates last night 7-6.
