Storm #2 is upon us. NWS Albany announced a Winter Storm Watch for the Berkshires this afternoon. The timing looks to be a few hours earlier than we were expecting a few days ago. The Watch starts at 7 AM Thursday and ends at 4 PM on Friday. This means snow should begin by 10 AM for Berkshire County.
The storm timeframe means it's a longer duration storm than the Monday/Tuesday fizzle. Something working in our favor is that we're going to get a strong shot of cold air tonight and tomorrow--highs in the low 20s for Wednesday--so the conventional wisdom from the experts is that this will be a mostly snow event. But a mix of sleet is still possible for South County and portions of Connecticut.

| We like what you're forecasting, NWS Albany. |
Forecasts 36-48 hours in front of the past few storms have been aggressive (with snow totals) but then have been scaled back as we have gotten closer to the storm's onset. Let's keep an eye out to see if that trend continues for this storm.
In case you we worried about the storm train slowing down, we're expecting measurable snow for Monday the 22nd and on Thursday the 25th. So stay tuned.
