So, it looks like the North American wins this week's battle of the models. The big storm we were eyeing will now be a dusting or at most an inch in Southern Berkshire County.
The big issue, though, is the cold. It's possible we could stay in the single digits and teens all way through next weekend. If we were to have school on Monday, we would probably see some freeze delays as temps on Monday morning are supposed to bottom out between -8 and -15 for Berkshire County.
As for the snowcast, we might see a flurry Friday night and the aforementioned Saturday dusting. Then, on Wednesday we could see a period of light snow in the evening followed by something much bigger for the end of the week. Again, the meteorological scuttlebutt is centering on a significant coastal storm.
We won't hold our breath on that one, but the one thing for sure is there is plenty of cold air in place for any precipitation to come down as snow and only snow. And because it is so darn cold, the snow-to-liquid ratios will be very high. In other words, we won't need a lot of precipitation to produce many inches of snow.
Stay warm!
