It would appear that many of us in Berkshire County will need snow boots on Thursday morning as they make their way out into the world.
All meteorological indicators suggest snow will fall in all of Berkshire County starting Wednesday evening and lasting well into the morning on Thursday. A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued, calling for 2-5 inches of snow starting at 8 PM tomorrow and ending at 10 AM on Thursday.

As we reminded folks in our last post, the source of the snow is an Alberta Clipper. While clippers usually generate light snow, this one seems to be more robust and could be an above-average performer. At least NWS Albany thinks so, as they have skewed their snow totals higher in the last 24 hours.
The models are fairly consistent right now. Both the Euro and North American are showing 3-4 inches for almost the entire county. The North American shows a little more snow for north county, with 4-6 for Lanesborough, Cheshire, Savoy and points north.

We're definitely encouraged by the small tick up in volume and longer duration of the snow. We now have a better chance of seeing moderate snow in the pivotal 5-7 AM window when Superintendents and chiefs of road crews convene to make their decisions.
As a result of the better forecast, we'll bump delay and snow day chances on the Confidence Meter slightly. Schools in North County now have a better chance for a delay than none at all.
