First Maps for Sunday/Monday Storm

We're just over 48 hours away from the first plowable snow event of the season, and the snow maps are starting to populate social media and weather websites.

The GFS (US model) thinks this will be a big one.

The Euro model clearly seems to be the preferred model, and it's forecasting a rock solid 6-8 inches so far. The US model has really high snow totals--over a foot--that we think are overblown. Take your pick. But this could all change of the next few days--a slowdown Sunday night and a possible intrusion of warm air could both keep totals well under 6 inches.

Right now we are fairly encouraged by what we're seeing. If the storm does what experts think it will, then we'll see snow Sunday afternoon and it will continue to snow through Monday afternoon. As long as the snow stays snow and is steadily falling around 5 AM, then most schools in Berkshire County will be off on Monday.
