WWA for Saturday

Good news, Snow Lovers...

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Berkshire County starting at 9 am and carrying through to 4 am on Sunday. We don't think this quick-hitter will last nearly that long, but we're in for a steady snow throughout the day tomorrow. Yes!

Thanks, Bob K.
We should see around 3 or 4" across the county, but some higher terrains will hit 6". NOAA is using something called "the Garcia method" to predict snow totals for this weather disturbance. This method involves evaluating isentropic lift and available moisture values. That's about as much info as anyone needs right now, especially if the end result is raised snow amount predictions.

Travel could be hazardous tomorrow. Look for snow to start around 10 am. The rate of snowfall will not be all that high, so travelers will just need to allow extra time to get where they need to go. Skiers, on the other hand, should make like crazy people and get to the slopes. Fresh powder, baby! Enjoy it--it's been a long wait.
