Rain to Snow This Evening

A slushy rain is falling at GSD World Headquarters in Williamstown this evening, and as of 7 PM the temp is hanging steady around 38 degrees.

Whether or not we get delays tomorrow really depends on the temperature. That sounds fairly obvious when snow is involved--we get that--but with this storm the rain will turn over to snow before we hit 32 degrees on the thermometer. The determiner for delays will be how early we hit the all snow temperature threshold.

Notice that these totals are through 7 PM on Wednesday

Still, it looks like North County schools will be the big winners if there even are winners tomorrow. Based on current forecasts, a full day of school is definitely in question for Florida, Savoy, Clarksburg, Adams/Cheshire and North Adams. Also, we will keeping an eye on Lanesborough/New Ashford and that patch of route 7 by Brodie Mountain. Those locales could have plowable slushy snow totals by morning.

For the rest of the county, the snow will start to accumulate after high school students are on their way to classrooms, but the elementary runs of the busses might be more adventuresome.

At this point we think there will be at least a few delays tomorrow with the potential for several North County schools and Central Berkshire getting into the mix if the snow is coming down moderately at daybreak. And we can't definitively rule out an oddball full snow day for one of our northernmost schools.

But there is too much uncertainty with this storm for our liking, and we will not be surprised if, because of the high temps, this minor storm is a more of a bust than a boon.
