The National Weather Service in Albany snuck in Winter Weather Advisory this afternoon for the Berkshires. Unfortunately, it's not about snow. Ice is possible overnight, with some sleet and freezing rain possibly lingering into the morning commute.
The precipitation will be light--under a quarter of an inch--and it should start shortly after midnight. There could be an initial period of snow but quickly it will change to sleet and then rain, which could lead to some freezing rain. High elevation towns will see the most wintry weather. Valley dwellers will see some ice but most likely, eventually, all rain.
As a result of the potentially slick morning ride to school, we could see a few delays tomorrow morning. Our confidence is low--10%--but one or two delays in mountain towns are possible. Keep half an eye open for delays when you wake up just in case the cold hangs in longer than expected.
Now the next big question--white Christmas or not? We are thinking that most folks in the Berkshires will have an inch on the ground on Saturday morning.

| The Euro for 6 AM Saturday. |
We have two more cracks at snow before Saturday. Thursday night, a minor disturbance could give us a dusting or an inch. Then, another minor storm moves in Friday night that could generate more snow that could still be falling Christmas morning. Both storms are light but might be just enough to make it look like winter.
