The rain has started in Berkshire County, but most locations are above freezing at this point (7 PM Sunday). Temps will edge their way closer to freezing around midnight--depending on your elevation--and we should see ice in the form of sleet and freezing rain somewhere between midnight and 3 AM.
The morning commute looks like it will be treacherous, especially for high elevation towns and east-facing slopes of the Berkshires. The lower your elevation, the less chance you'll have of significant icing. Some part of South County may be spared any ice.

| NWS Albany |
While NWS Albany has lowered its ice totals from .5 inches in Pittsfield/Dalton to .4 inches, that's still a significant amount of ice which will wreak havoc on the Berkshires, especially as the wind kicks up and puts extra pressure on ice-laden branches. Power outings during the day on Monday are likely in higher elevation towns.
We'll try to pass on ice reports as they come in tomorrow. If you have any conditions to report, feel free to put them in the comment sections on our Facebook post(s).
