Wednesday Snow

It won't be snowing on the way to school tomorrow, but it will be snowing on the way home. 

We are expecting 1-3 inches in Berkshire County on Wednesday, with chances for more snow in South County and in the east-facing slopes. Snow total predictions have been steadily rising over the past few days, so this minor storm does have some over-performance potential. Snow is expected to start between 10 and 12 AM.

NWS Albany.

Because there isn't very much cold air in place, the snow will initially melt on the roadways and sidewalks, but it will begin to accumulate on grassy surfaces. Eventually, probably for the evening commute home from traditional 9-5 offices, the roads will begin to get coated, so it could be slick out there for a few hours (4-8 PM).

It's certainly possible evening activities (i.e. high school basketball games) could be impacted/postponed.

And the snow for the weekend is still very intriguing. There's lots of chatter on weather social media about the possibility of a moderate snow storm once the changeover from rain occurs. More to follow.
