BRYAN EATON/Staff Photo. The sun reflects off wet bricks on State Street in Newburyport from melting snow and ice in the downtown which was very busy Monday with last minute Christmas shoppers as the weather cooperated with the temperature hitting over 50 degrees. The nice weather stays through the weekend with daytime temeratures in the high 30's and low 40's.
