Winter Weather Advisory for Tuesday Night and Wednesday; Delays Possible

Winter is coming in hot, so to speak, and the GSD Home Office is astir with activity. NWS Albany hoisted the Winter Weather Advisory flag earlier this afternoon, calling for 2-5" of snow for the Northern Berkshires and 1-3" for the Southern half.


Despite the relatively low snow totals for this storm, the timing is pretty delicious with a messy commute expected Wednesday morning. We're going to bump up the chance for a delay to 50% for two reasons. 1) The great timing. 2) Superintendents may want to kick the tires on the old delayed start system--get the admin team in place, dust off the numbers for DPW, and check to see if the district-wide robo-call works.

If you were to draw a diagonal line from Williamstown to Sandisfield, the schools on the east side of that line have a much better chance for a delay than those on the west side of that line. There may be exceptions, of course, but we'll see more snow and mixed precipitation in the north and east of our fair county.


There should be a changeover to rain later in the morning, so it's highly unlikely any districts will go with the full snow day on Wednesday.

We'll have more info tomorrow evening.
