The National Weather Service in Albany has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the Berkshires that will start this evening at 7 PM. The reason for the Advisory is the possibility for light icing to occur. It ends at 7 AM Thursday.
This is a relatively minor event and may amount to nothing. Some areas could pick up a dusting or half inch of snow as well as a 10th of an inch of ice. Travel could be difficult later this evening, but should not be impossible.
As for accumulating snow. As in get-out-the-snow-boots snow. As for wax-up-the-skis snow...we're still in a holding pattern. We might get a couple of inches Friday night into Saturday, and there is a small chance of a developing coastal storm for Sunday night.
The European model is currently showing moderate snow (3 inches for the Friday night storm; 4-5 inches for the Sunday storm), but the North American model only shows an inch or two for Friday and a washout on Sunday. Unfortunately, the North American model seems to be more realistic as we simply won't have enough cold air in place for a big snow. We're not saying it's not possible but just unlikely.

Certainly if the Euro model proves to be right, snow days and fully remote days are in the discussion for Monday.
Watch the ice tonight, and we'll watch for developments regarding the weekend storms.
