Snow Sunday...and Snowy Week Ahead

NWS Albany has announced a Winter Weather Advisory for today (Sunday) for all of Berkshire County. This event will be a relatively fast mover, and snow will likely end by kickoff time of the Big Game (6:30 PM). By the time the storm moves out of our area, most folks should see 3-4 inches with a slight chance for half a foot in South County.

We won't have to wait long for a next chance for snow. Another system will move in from the west on Tuesday and could drop another 3-5 inches of snow on us. Most of the snow will fall after midnight so we could see a few schools go fully remote that day.

And then there's Friday. The model runs show a more robust storm for Friday (6-8" seems reasonable), so if we are to get a snow day in the upcoming week, it would be Friday. But because it is the day before vacation--and some teachers we know have big tests scheduled for that day--it's more than likely that we'll see many remote days and only a few select real snow days.

It's going to be a busy week! Snow begets snow--especially in this la nina winter--and we'll definitely keep an eye on Tuesday's and Friday's potential snow events.
