The first snow of the season was pretty much as predicted. The US model was closer with its accuracy, as we picked up 1.5" at the GSD Home Office before it melted. Higher elevations in the Berkshires saw close to 6" in some locations.
We have another round of snow showers/snow headed our way for Monday. Snow is less likely to accumulate throughout the county, but most of us will see a period of snow showers throughout the day with an inch or less of accumulation.

The big difference tomorrow (compared to Friday) will be the wind. We could see gusts close to 50 mph in the afternoon. Coupled with temps in the mid-30s, the gusty winds will bring wind chill values into the low 20s. For anyone exercising or training outside tomorrow afternoon, it will be blustery and cold. Cover up.
As the storm pulls away from our region, the lake effect snow machine will crank up in Western New York. Some of those flakes could make it all the way to Western Mass in the overnight hours Monday into Tuesday. Black ice could be a problem on Election Day. If you haven't dropped off your ballot yet, the weather after 9 AM should not impede your travel to the polling station.
After Tuesday, though, things start to heat up...temperature-wise. We'll get into the 50s on that day and then meteorologists are expecting about a week of temps in the mid-60s. The warmest day looks to be Monday, with some towns approaching the 70-degree mark. Enjoy it because it might be the last we see of the 60s for several months.
There isn't a place to email the GSD Home Office. I understand that the Adams-Cheshire School District will still have snow days in the pandemic. I just saw that on Voices of Adams so it is unconfirmed.
