Consolation Prize for Wednesday?

The snow has held on for longer than anticipated, and it continues to come down at the GSD Home Office steadily. We have 2.5 inches on the ground at this point and will likely top out at 4 inches when it's over.

Because snow continues to fall, we've seen most schools cancel afterschool activities for today.

The 2 PM radar. The snow keeps hanging around in Berkshire County. You can see the cold front (north to south) out west past Albany. Numerous intermittent snow showers tonight into tomorrow.

The pressing question is: will there be a 2-hour delay consolation prize on Wednesday?

The simple answer is possibly, but the chance is minimal. A cold front is set to blow through the Berkshires this evening between 6 and 8 PM, triggering numerous squalls and showers. Those showers could persist all the way into the morning commute. With the rapid drop in temperature--we won't see temperatures above freezing until Tuesday (!)--snow over ice on secondary roads could be a problem. While most communities will be able to handle the squalls and ice, a few will not and will call in delays tomorrow.

Perhaps yours will be that school district that needs extra time.
