We're now under 48 hours until our next storm, and this means that meteorologists are more confident with their predictions and anticipations for Saturday.
NWS Albany says that we will likely need a Winter Weather Advisory for Saturday. That should happen midday tomorrow.
The Euro is our preferred model right now as it is currently showing between 3 and 6 inches for the Berkshires. The North American model bumps the bulk of the snow slightly to the north, which will be great for ski country. If the North American model proves to be more accurate, we'll still see snow for all of the county on Saturday, but more in the 1-4" range.

Another factor that will determine our snow totals is that sleet and freezing rain could mix in. Frozen precipitation could chop the expected number of inches in half. The staff at GSD actually think this is a likely scenario for many of us as the temps will be right on that freezing line midday.
Yesterday, we thought the peak of the storm would occur in the evening. Today, it looks like we have to shift the peak to the afternoon when the storm moves to our east and drags colder air down from the north to ensure that the precip falls in the form of snow.
Most people have their Christmas tree already, but if.you were hoping to cut your own on Saturday, you'll have a snowy tree, but what great photos for Grandma! If you'd prefer not to deal with a snowy tree, the veteran move is to find a farm that's open on Friday and grab one then. Just some friendly holiday advice from GSD.
Tomorrow will be nice (40s), and then it will get colder overnight. Expect the snow to start after daybreak on Saturday and should finish up by midnight.
