Snow This Weekend: Winter Weather Advisory for the Berkshires

Well, shiver me timbers. Looks like the Snow Gods have decided to shine their smiling faces toward the Berkshires this weekend. That coastal storm that we got excited about earlier in the week and then dismissed? It's apparently back on.

The storm will move along the New England coast as cold air shoots in from Canada. These two ingredients--moisture and cold air--will combine over the Berkshires to produce 2 to 5 inches of snow. As a result, the NWS has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for our area, with more snow the farther south you go in the County.

The timing of this storm will impact travel, especially in the afternoon hours on Saturday.

The bad news is that forecasters are less bullish about the Tuesday storm we wrote about yesterday. We're still holding out hope for snow, but the timing does not look very good for a delay on Wednesday.

Break out the snow boots for the first snow of the new season!
