The big news today in Berkshire County is not the number of characters you now have available to you for your tweets...
It's the first verified snowflakes of the 2017-18. Hooray for winter!
These flakes did sneak up on us. With a colder-than-expected day and a slightly stronger-than-anticipated low pressure system off of Long Island, enough moisture moved into our area and dropped a few flakes on us this afternoon and evening. We haven't had any accumulation at the GSD Home Office in Williamstown, but we won't be surprised to see a dusting in higher elevation towns.
Unfortunately, tonight's snow showers are no harbingers. While we do have some very cold temperatures headed our way for the long weekend--the thermometer will read in the mid-teens on Saturday morning (!)--we don't see snow storms in the two-week forecast. Temps will settle into the 40s next week with just a few chances for rain showers in that period.
It's nice to know we're making strides toward the first snow day of the season. And of course we'll let you know when you should really start to get excited.
