Winter Storm Warning for Saturday, Jan. 18

Yesterday afternoon, NWS Albany issued a Winter Storm Warning for Berkshire County and southern Vermont. The Warning begins at 1 PM and ends at 7 AM but the snow will end well before daylight on Sunday.

Snow should start falling around 2 PM in the Berkshires (west to east). North County should get slightly more of the white stuff. Some higher elevation towns in North County could approach 10 inches. Lower elevation towns in South County could see as little as 3 inches.

Had this storm fallen on a random Tuesday in January, there would have been a lot of hand-wringing about full snow days or delays. Because the snow will end around 2 AM, many districts would have gone with a delay and a few, especially north of Pittsfield, would have gone with the full snow day. It definitely would have been a do-your-homework-just-in-case kind of storm.

Here's the latest prediction from NWS Albany:
