Weekend Snow Storm Is On

Certainly in parts of Northern Berkshire County a delay would have been appreciated this morning. Route 7 and 2 were mostly okay for the morning commute in Williamstown, but side roads were slippery due to the very greasy snow. Temps were right around freezing today, which led to the heavy, wet snow.

But this weekend we won't be dealing with heavy wet snow at all. Our snow on Saturday should be relatively dry and light as temps will be in the mid 20s for the duration of the snowfall.

We haven't seen too many changes to the weekend forecast. NWS Albany is expecting a 6-8 inch storm for most of the Berkshires. The US model thinks we'll only see 3-4 inches in South County, but the Euro shows 6" from the border to border. We'll see who wins this round of the ongoing battle of the models.

Thanks to NWS Albany for all the great snow maps.

Morning activities should be good to go on Saturday, but anything scheduled after 2:00 will likely be postponed. The bulk of the snow will fall in a 12-hour period which means the snow will be coming down at a good clip in the afternoon and evening.

A final note: because it's been so warm recently, tomorrow is going to feel unusually frigid with mid-teen temps and a brisk wind. Bundle up!
