Drivers should expect heavy traffic all the way through the
evening hours. On major highways. But how do people keep
themselves sane when they're stuck in traffic?

some sign kind to buy it.

to some Christmas music.
Speaker 2 (01:17):

something like that and just let it die down. I'm
never in a rush. From Natick Kyle Bray WBZ, Boston's
news radio.

down into the upper thirties overnights with the skies is
starting to clear. We will get some sunshine tomorrow before
(02:50):
the clouds rolled back in, Temperatures peaking in the low forties,
and then we've got a well winter storm coming our
way on Tuesday. Not much in the city or the
south for that matter, maybe some slashing coating an inch
in the city about one to three inches nearby to
the northwest, and then you get outside of four ninety
(03:11):
five and you could see up to six inches. Right
