You know about the dangerous cold coming tonight and the Winter Chill Warning for our area with sub -30 temps tomorrow morning.
But the bigger weather news is that meteorologists are giving many indicators that a major snow storm will take place late on Sunday night and through much of the day on Monday. There is a still a chance that a nose of warm air could work its way into the Berkshire County and change the snow to rain Monday afternoon, but the snow damage will be done at that point with 6+ inches on the ground.

Right now a Winter Storm Watch is in effect. Given the trends and the forecast models, it's highly likely that the Watch will become a warning between 6 AM and 12 PM tomorrow.
GSD Staffers are confident that 8+ inches will fall in the Berkshires, with higher elevations (especially eastern hill towns) seeing over a foot. If Monday were not a holiday, we would see all schools in Berkshire County going with a snow day due to the excellent timing and long duration.

Get out the high snow boots and find the extra shovel. And the good news is the cold air will be in place for a few weeks, so the snow won't be going anywhere even if we see the changeover to rain.
