Winter Storm Watch for Berkshire County (Dec. 1-2)

If you desire a snow day on Monday, then we've just received another good sign: the announcement of a Winter Storm Watch for all of Berkshire County.

Boy, that certainly escalated quickly. (Thanks to NWS Albany for the image.)

As is said these days, here are the deets:

*The watch starts at 7 AM Sunday--much earlier than we thought it would--and ends at 7 PM Monday. This usually means the snow will start around 10 AM and last well into the afternoon on Monday.

*9+ inches of snow expected. That's nothing to sneeze at.

*To quote the National Weather Service, "travel could be very difficult to impossible."

There's still enough iffy-ness with this storm that we could see these snow totals downgraded before the end of the day tomorrow, but the GSD Staff has a strong suspicion that we'll see the Watch upgraded to a Warning by noon tomorrow.

We'll provide the latest on the exact timing and track and snow total estimate during the day tomorrow.
