Though last night’s snow was a nonevent for much of the state, the wind chill accompanying this week’s very cold weather must be taken seriously, the National Weather Service said.

Today’s highs will feel toasty compared to the rest of the week. Temperatures will hit the 20s as winds pick up and cold air filters into the region overnight, said meteorologist Bill Simpson. Boston will hold steady at 26 degrees today, Fitchburg at 26, and Taunton at 27, though wind gusts up to 25 miles per hour will make temperatures feel 10 to 15 degrees colder.
