Berkshire COVID-19 Cancellations

Despite our typical it's-all-in-good-fun tone to this source for weather information, we have had dozens of requests to post information about school closings in Berkshire County due to COVID-19.

This virus has proven to be an ever-evolving situation. On Sunday (3/15) evening, we just learned that the Commonwealth has ramped up restrictions. Gatherings of 25 people are now strongly discouraged, and--this is not insignificant--schools are now closed through April 7th. If you're not taking this seriously yet and treating it as an extended snow day, then maybe it's time to start putting into effect social distancing guidelines. We're not sure how this will affect private and parochial schools just yet, so we'll have updates about them soon.
