White Christmas?

For those who had school or work today, congratulations! You made to the start of another vacation. We need to celebrate small victories this year.

Now that snow days and delays are out of the equation for the next week and a half, let's focus on the chance for weekend snow.

Tonight, there's a very light clipper streaming across New York that should impact western Massachusetts later this evening. It's not going to be much, but we could see an inch or so in some spots. So, yes, we should see snow on the ground in most locations in the Berkshires by Friday morning.

We were hoping we'd pick up another inch or so late Friday night, but now the Saturday storm looks like a wet mess. Currently, it looks like we'll start with a wintry mix then change over to rain in the morning and continue through the afternoon. The Grinch-y rain will likely wipe out any snow on the ground. In the evening, then, is when we have some intriguing certainty. 

Some models, the North American in particular, is showing coastal intensification, which could change the rain back to snow. The Adirondacks and parts of Vermont should see snow on the back end of this storm, but the snow line could drop much further south and into the Berkshires. We are definitely not getting our hopes up at the GSD Home Office, but we could see a sneaky 2-3 inches by Sunday midday.

Overall, there are still no major storms out there on the horizon. We'll certainly let you know when we spot one in the meteorological crystal ball.
