Last Post of the Season (17-18)...We Hope

It's April 29th and this has to be our last snow alert for the season, right?

The National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement warning us about the potential for up to 4 inches of snow in high elevation towns in Northern Berkshire County.

With temps in the mid-30s in most locations and a few degrees colder in places above 2000 feet, we could see a measurable snowfall this evening in a few towns. The roads should be warm enough to prevent the snow from accumulating there, but grassy surfaces could see 2-3 inches of heavy wet snow.

Last map of the season?

Fortunately, because it has been so ridiculously cool this early spring, there are no leaves or buds on trees, so this snow will not lead to downed branches and power outages.

With 70-degree temps expected for the rest of the week, this threat probably will bring with it the last flakes of the season.

It's really been a great snow season, and keep your eyes open for a long-range forecast for 2018-19 at some point this summer.
