The National Weather Service has announced a Winter Weather Advisory for patchy frozen precipitation of various kinds this evening and tomorrow morning for Northern Berkshire county only. There's just the slightest chance of delays on Tuesday for Adams-Cheshire, Florida, Clarksburg, and Savoy, but most students will be unaffected. If you're reading this, it is officially, as they say, on your radar.
And some other news...
The government shutdown is not good for weather brokers like ourselves. We tried to do some research at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) website and got shot down. Some parts of the website are working--those having to do with the weather safety--but everything else will return at a later date.
And finally, brace yourselves for a brutal February. There is lots of talk about the return of subzero temperatures after the first week of February. The well-known long-term forecasters are all over the story of the returning cold temperatures. And if it's anything like December, we'll be looking at freeze delays and freeze cancellations in the week before February vacation. This is all a few weeks off, and you should expect to see a lot of coverage in the mainstream media as we get closer to the arrival of the potentially record-setting cold air.
Watch those roads tonight and tomorrow morning for slick spots.
