The Winter Storm Warning is still up for Berkshire County and has been extended for most other parts in our region, especially to our south.

The storm will come in two phases. This afternoon and night we will see periods of moderate and heavy snow before a lull in the proceedings tomorrow morning. Then the snow will ramp up again midday when it will again snow at moderate and heavy rates. When we get the heavy snow, it will be coming down at 1-2" per hour. Almost everyone will see at least 10" of snow, with some lucky folks in higher elevations and in eastern parts of the County getting close to two feet by Tuesday morning.

| The X-factor. (NWS Albany) |
As we indicated yesterday, an X-factor for this storm will be the gusty winds, which will obfuscate just how hard it is snowing.
Many organizations have cancelled meetings and activities for this afternoon. MCLA, Westfield State and Mount Holyoke have cancelled classes for tomorrow. As soon as the first County school calls in a cancellation--which is inevitable--we'll start our running list. We do think several districts will make the call this evening because of the high expected snow totals and the prolonged nature of this storm.
