HARDWICK – Precipitation fell mostly as light snow during the past week. Heavy snow showers arrived Tuesday as the first major winter storm of the season blanketed much of New England. Temperatures hovered near seasonal norms with lows in the 20’s and highs in the low 30’s.

On the weather map, a dome of high pressure will push in later Tuesday bringing with it cold Arctic air, resulting in our first below-zero temperatures of winter on Thursday. The rest of the week looks seasonably cold with low temperatures in the single digits and highs in the teens and low twenties.
