Friday Snow Event

We're still on track for a measurable and plowable snow on Friday. Here's the latest snow map from the National Weather Service:

Will it be enough to extend vacation?

This map tends to change frequently, and we'll share their updates as they come in (usually three or four times a day).

The news we're hearing about the snow on Friday is that the cutoff line between school-canceling snow and very light snow will be very definitive. Right now I-90 is the cutoff line. South County schools are in danger of having a full day of school (except Southern Berkshire, which already has a scheduled day off. Yay for them.) Pittsfield and Central Berkshire and schools districts to the north will be in nail-biting mode on Friday morning.

The big question--aside from the relative generosity of your Superintendent--is the timing of the start of the snow. Snow around 5 AM will be great. If the snow starts around 9, we're looking at a full day of school for just about everybody. Our resources are telling us it will be very, very close to starting at 5 AM. As we process more information from the forecast models, we should be able to pinpoint the start of the storm better.

Check in tomorrow. Hopefully, we'll have good news to report. And we'll also have some info about travel plans for the weekend.
