Winter Storm Warning for Wednesday Night/Thursday Morning

In a surprising development, NWS Albany has announced a Winter Storm Warning for tonight for the Berkshires.

Apparently, the snow will persist and intensify for portions of the evening and early hours of Thursday. The forecast is for 3 to 6 inches of additional snow, with some locations getting 8 inches.

The 7:30 PM radar. Forecasters are concerned about the snow line to our north and west.

If we survived today without too much fuss, then we should be able to survive tomorrow. With the temperature dropping a few degrees in the next few hours, the snow will stick to the roads better, making for slicker conditions.

We really don't think this announcement will amount to that much, snow and road crews should have ample time to deal with it. We'll bump up the Confidence Meter slightly (for delays only), but most students shouldn't be impacted tomorrow.

Best chances for delays will be in high elevation towns and in South County.

We'll run a list in the morning should any schools call in.
