Super Bowl Sunday Snow

The active weather pattern continues, as we have the potential for measurable snow Sunday, Tuesday/Wednesday and Friday of next week. The polar vortex is spinning around in northern Canada like a centrifuge, and pieces of energy keep popping off of it and digging into the United States. This storm machine is churning away and giving all of these great opportunities for snow.

Yes, these storms haven't been impressive, but we do like the pattern we're in. Eventually, we will hit pay dirt with one of these storms.

Thanks, Accuweather.

The Sunday storm looks like it will bring 2-5 inches of snow to the Berkshires, with less south and greater amounts north. The onset of the storm appears to be in the evening on Sunday, starting at some point right before or during the Big Game. We do not think the snow will last long enough into Monday to warrant full snow days, but delays are possible on the 5th, especially for Adams-Cheshire, North Adams, and Mount Greylock.

The Tuesday/Wednesday storm will be a longer-lasting event. The main hold-up, though, for that storm will be warming temperatures. A period of rain could factor in and keep snow totals down. There is still a lot of variability in the models for that storm, so it would foolish to predict anything worth talking about yet. However, we do like the timing of that storm a lot.

The blustery cold will be uncomfortable tonight, and Saturday will just be plain cold. Sunday, the temps moderate a few degrees up until the snow moves in during the early evening hours.

We're at a conference on Saturday in New York and will be very busy, but we'll try to update should there be any major changes with the snow totals or timing of the storm. At the very least we'll give a storm update on Sunday morning.

Have a great weekend!
