Pre-Vacation Forecast

We narrowly avoided a delay this morning. Had the precipitation started 90 minutes earlier, most schools in the Berkshires would have had a delay. Not a big deal for the high schoolers, but the commute for the elementary school lads and lasses must have been adventurous.

This week...a lot of nothin'. We could see a short period of wet snow tonight (Monday). Most likely the system's going to mostly scrape by us to the northeast.

Snow showers tomorrow and Wednesday. A coastal storm is going to develop on Wednesday, and we're mostly sure it will pass well to our south. There's a chance South County could pick up a dusting.

No snow days until after vacation. Do be aware there is a possible big storm for Saturday into Sunday. One model has our area getting another major storm, but the more reliable models (i.e. our friend the Euro) have the storm affecting the mid-Atlantic coast. If you are travelling by plane after Saturday and heading out from JFK or Newark or even Hartford, you'll be on pins and needles. We'll give you what info we can as we get closer to the weekend.

February vacation is nearly upon us. We don't see any real problems with delays, releases, or cancellation of after school and evening activities this week. Temps will cool slightly after today's warmth, which will keep the snow around for a while. Enjoy it.
