With the coldest air of the season in place--10° at GSD headquarters in Williamstown--winter is certainly here, and it's time to look ahead at the week ahead. Most school districts go on a two week vacation on Friday with the Christmas and New Year's falling on a Wednesday so this is our last chance for weather to impact school days for 2024.
We currently have two chances for delays and snow days. The first will be on Monday. A fairly weak low pressure system will move in from the west Sunday afternoon into Monday. It will start as snow but then change to rain in the late morning hours.
Both models are showing 1-2" of snow for the Berkshires. If the timing is right, we could see a few delays for districts Monday morning.

| NWS Albany. Not much to write home about here. |
The next chance for snow will again be on the front and back ends of a low pressure system that will impact our area mostly on Wednesday but into Thursday. The models are inconsistent but another shot of 1-3" is possible, especially in higher terrain.
It will not rain nearly as much as it did this past week, but the upcoming pattern is strikingly similar to last week.
Unfortunately, our confidence is low for delays on Monday or Thursday, but we are holding out hope that enough cold air will be in place to give some students shortened days.
