As we begin what is typically the snowiest month of the year--we can expect between 15 and 20 inches this month--the forecast for the first school week of 2026 supports a few chances for light snow.
To finish up the weekend, we will see a dusting to 1" by the time we wake up on Sunday. Then, we can expect two typically cold days (mid-20s), before the next threat of snow occurs Monday afternoon into the night. It's a clipper system, so it will not have a lot of snow with it. Maybe an inch or two for the County.

Wednesday is on the GSD radar (pun intended) for a potential delay. Another clipper will sweep through our area Tuesday night, which could give us a few inches of snow. Then, as it warms up into the mid-30s in the morning, we may see a multi-hour period of freezing rain. Ice and the morning commute may coincide, which would lead to widespread delays for Berkshire County. Very intriguing.
Unfortunately, we are expecting the mercury to climb into the upper 30s and 40s for Thursday through Sunday. There is also a chance for rain each of those days. As scholars of winter meteorology like to say: "That just stinks."
Longer range, the Euro model is showing the potential for a bigger storm on Wednesday, Jan. 14. Confidence is low that this storm will come to fruition, but we're definitely keeping an eye on it.

We'll have more to say about the Wednesday situation once students get back to school on Monday. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
