NWS Albany has downgraded the Winter Storm Watch to a Winter Weather Advisory for southern Berkshire County. Sadly, it looks like this midweek storm is going to track to our south. Connecticut and portions of southeastern Mass will be the big winners, as well as NYC and Long Island.

This turn in the forecast doesn't mean we'll get shut out. We will see several hours of snow in the afternoon Wednesday, making tomorrow evening's ride home dicey. If we end up only getting 2-3" of snow, roads will likely just be wet and not snow-covered tomorrow afternoon and evening.

We're still monitoring this storm, but the reduced snow expectations and general poor timing of the storm mean we are unlikely to see a shortening of the school day either on Wednesday or on Thursday.

And our hopes for nor'easter #5 on Sunday night have taken a hit as that storm is also expected to track out to sea. With temperatures up into the mid-40s by the middle of next week, we may be seeing the end of winter.

If this is the last snow of the season, kick back tomorrow and enjoy it.
