Winter Weather Advisory (Again)

As far as winters go, the 2020-21 season has been tremendous. Sure, we had a big snow early and then a dry spell for many weeks, but since the start of the New Year, it's been a banner winter. The conditions have simply been perfect for outdoor activities.

But some of that "best winter ever" vibe took a hit with the poor snow total, sleet, and rain from Tuesday's big fizzle. And let's be honest--it's hard not to carry that disappointing feeling into this end-of-the-week storm.

Once again we've been downgraded from a Winter Storm Watch to a Winter Weather Advisory for the Thursday/Friday event. At one point we were looking at 6"--these models have been a little shaky lately--and now it looks like we'll land in the 2-4" for the Berkshires when the snow stops by Friday afternoon.

This is fine, but when's the next big one coming?

Yes, a few inches of snow will replenish the base, but it just feels like we need a few more big storms--and the accompanying Big Storm Excitement!--to make this winter one for future trips down Memory Lane.

As for the next few days, what do you really need to know? Snow should start falling late in the afternoon tomorrow throughout Berkshire County, and it will continue well into the middle of the day on Friday. The morning commute on Friday will be slow. In general, though, because the snow will be relatively light for the duration of the storm, travel Thursday night and during on the day on Friday should be manageable. 

The weekend looks pretty great. Highs in the low 30s, lows in the mid-teens. And some sun! Get outside and enjoy this late winter weather. 

We're keeping an eye on more snow for Monday afternoon and night. We'll have more details over the next few days.
