Winter Storm Watch for Monday Night/Tuesday

As of 5 PM today, the National Weather Service announced a Winter Storm Watch for all of Berkshire County.

The prediction from the NWS is for 4-8 inches of snow with mixed precipitation, especially in the morning commute hours on Tuesday. The south part of the county will see more mixing than the northern part. We should see the higher end of the snow prediction for points north of Pittsfield, and lower amounts (4") south of Pittsfield.

The timing is still by far the best part of the storm for those wishing for a full snow day.

More to come tomorrow as we sort out three things: the exact timing of the start of the storm, the timing of the changeover to mixed precipitation, and how long the storm will last on Tuesday.

Keep your fingers crossed, and don't forget to vote for this storm's name. (The Weather Channel has chosen Ukko.)
