Coastal Storms Should Skirt By The Berkshires This Weekend

You may have heard a few rumblings about a big weekend storm affecting the east coast. While those rumblings have some truth in them, the storms that will form along the coast should not impact our area over the weekend in any significant way.

There's still time for the models to sort out when and how the storm will develop, but it looks like the coastal formation will be just enough to our south and east to prevent a snow storm that would require snow removal equipment. Also--as was the case last weekend--we have a lot of warm air in place, which is not helping our cause one bit.

So we're not expecting much of anything this weekend, except for wet snow showers on Saturday.

The next chance for a delay looks to be on Wednesday. A storm will come out of the plains that could create a messy morning commute. We're definitely skeptical at this point given how poorly 2020 has started, but we'll take what we can get.

We still have many weeks of winter left, but January 2020 has been an absolute bust. After such a promising December, Old Man Winter seems to have tuckered himself out. Let's hope he's merely napping and will find that second wind in February/March.
