The first big weather story is the bitter cold that will sweep into the Berkshires Friday night and last through the weekend. Dangerously cold temps are expected with single digit high temperatures on Saturday and Sunday. It will be a good weekend for indoor sports and activities.
We may have a developing situation for Monday. Certain indicators are showing an increasing chance for measurable snow Sunday night into Monday. There will be sizable storm to our south that will be moving up the coast. The last few runs of the models are taking the storm on a more northerly track. The more northerly the better if we want a snow day on Monday.

It may sound complicated, but the storm will move more northerly if two energy systems phase (i.e. join together.) One is in the upper plains. The other is in the Southwest. If they come together, then we are in business as this will pull the coastal storm closer to New England.
So, if we want lots of snow Sunday night (see the Euro model above), we need those to energy systems out west to phase. If they don't, the coastal storm will slide out to sea (see the North American model above).
Despite the difference of opinion being put forth by the models, we have a sneaky feeling that this storm might get its act together and give us a shot at a snow day for Monday. We're very excited to see what will happen as we get closer to the weekend.
