Measurable Snow On Tuesday

Fun fact: it snowed six straight days last week. Monday through Saturday, we picked up anywhere from a dusting to 1.5 inches each day. All said, at the Home Office in Williamstown we picked up 5" of snow throughout the week, and that was just enough to make the nordic skiers very happy in this part of the world.

Lots of good news is on the horizon for those who enjoy the outdoors this time of year. The storm we wrote about last week--the one expected to come on Tuesday--has risen from the ashes. The models initially forecasted 4-6 inches, then they pushed it well to our south with very little snow, but now they're back saying we can expect 2-6 inches in the Berkshires on Tuesday into Wednesday.

NWS Albany says get out the shovels for Tuesday (Jan. 26).

The bulk of the snow will fall Tuesday afternoon and night. With plenty of cold air in place, this snow will be dusty and fluffy and could pile up quickly. We will not all be surprised to see some high elevation towns (especially in northwest Berkshire County) exceed 6 inches. 

We expect a Winter Weather Advisory for the County at some point tomorrow given how the models are trending.

As for bigger events, we're going to just miss a big one on Thursday/Friday as that storm will track out to sea. But based on what we've been reading for the past two days, meteorologists are getting giddy about a robust storm for the first two days of February (Monday/Tuesday next week). 

A promising Euro model forecast for Tuesday, Feb. 2.

We really are getting sick and tired of telling you, "The big one's coming next week," and we're sure you are, too. But this week's Tuesday storm should tide us over for a few days, and then we can start doing our snow dances for a legitimate storm the following week.

Temps this week will be cold but relatively seasonal except for Friday, which will be downright uncomfortable. Highs will be in the mid-teens.
