Snow Maps For Friday & Sunday

It's highly likely that we'll see enough snow to cover the ground on Friday. The snow should begin around the time of the morning commute and last into the evening hours. There will likely be a changeover to sleet and freezing rain and all rain for the southern portions of Berkshire County at some point in the afternoon or evening.

The ride to school should be fine on Friday, but drivers will need to exercise caution Friday afternoon upon their return. Based on our observations, it's unlikely that any games scheduled for Friday will take place.

The Sunday storm that we briefly mentioned earlier in the day could nudge its way into southern Berkshire county on Sunday morning. This storm has much more energy associated with it, and it does have the potential to blossom into something more potent. At this point we think South County will see a period of snow that melts right away, but the potential for 3-4 inches of wet snow is within the realm of possibility.

And if we're going to get one more snow day this winter, it will be Tuesday. The models are now more in agreement, and the timing looks very good for precipitation to begin after midnight on Monday. It's still too early to tell just how much snow we'll get, but enough pieces are in place for a sizable storm.

For those of you who have just about had it with winter in general, the long-range maps are showing a warm-up for the second half of April. When we get back from April vacation, things should look more normal around here for this time of year.
