Snow x 3

No shilly-shallying with the snow talk tonight. We are expected to see snow Friday, Sunday, and Tuesday afternoon. Unfortunately, none of these storms is expected to be particularly big.

The Friday storm will be brief. Snow will approach from the west-southwest and maybe drop an inch on the Berkshires, with the potential for up to 3" in the higher elevation towns, especially in the northwestern part of the county. We may see rain mix in around noun, but snow showers could return by the end of the day.

An early model run for snow on Tuesday. This, of course, will change.

The nor'easter we hoped would develop for Sunday night does not look like it's going to come together. The northern and southern energy systems appear that they will not form a most beautiful union. The northern system will bring us some snow, but only in the 2-4" range. There's still an outside chance that the northern piece will intensify on the coast and double the current snow forecast, especially in eastern New England, but most weather experts are downplaying that outcome.

And then one more system will develop later on Tuesday. The timing of this storm is less certain--the Euro model shows snow for the afternoon; the North American brings it earlier. Once again, though, we are not expecting more than a few inches, but we it's possible some in Berkshire County could see 5". 

To recap: expect some amount of snow on Friday, Sunday, and Tuesday.
