Meteorologists are starting to convert the models into snow prediction maps for Friday. The outlook isn't looking good for the Berkshire clime that day.
We'll see snow, but the totals are underwhelming. In the end we'll get 1-3 inches of snow. South County and east-facing slopes dwellers will be on the higher end of the prediction. If the storm overperforms--which is always a possibility--the most we'll see is 4-5 inches.

The saving grace for this storm is it's timing. Snow should start between 1 and 2 AM and last throughout the morning. The morning commute will likely be slower due to the snow, so delays are very much on the table--as many as 1 in 3 students could see a delay. We also will not rule out a snow day for a few students due to Covid anxiety, as discussed in yesterday's post.
There is still plenty of time for things to change for this storm and snow totals go up, but a shortened school day is far from a sure thing on Friday.
If this storm does flame out, there already is another one in the chute being discussed excitedly by weather hounds. The target date for this one is January 16. [Checking the calendar...] Of course, that storm will hit as it's right smack in the middle of a three-day weekend.
