Storm Bianc-Euclid: Late Afternoon Update

We don't have too much to report other than the precipitation may start a few hours earlier than we expected. A quick glance at the radar will show the snow is nearly on our doorstep. There will likely be a period of virga, which means the radar will make it look like it's snowing but the snow is evaporating before it hits the ground. Still, look for things to start around 7 pm.

There's a ton of moisture with this storm, and the classic "comma" shape to the storm is ideal for a bucket load or two of snow. There will be sleet and freezing rain mixed in toward the morning which will act like a tamp and compress the snow, keeping the totals down.

Expect a few very heavy bands of snow this evening toward midnight. One to two inches per hour will not be uncommon. Our predicted snow total of 4 or 5 inches in South Berkshire county and 7-9 inches for North Berkshire county is still what we are likely to see.
