It's just a matter of hours before Superintendents start to call in their snow days for tomorrow. By the time you read this, you may have already learned that you do not have school tomorrow. We do not think that any students, including college-aged ones, will be on session on Tuesday, March 14. This storm is no Storm of the Century (March 1993), but it has a chance to be a memorable one.
Forecasts are still on track for at least 10+ inches of snow for the Berkshires, with higher amounts in the higher terrain. Pittsfield has a 77% chance of getting at least a foot of snow.
A few other storm tidbits we've picked up:
*The snow will be heavy and wet to start (8"/10" of snow per inch of liquid) on Monday night and then get lighter (12" to 15" of snow per inch of liquid) later on Tuesday.
*Snowfall rates of 1+" per hour will be common.
*Winds could gust to 40 MPH on Tuesday.
*This is going to be a long-duration event. The snow starts for real later this evening and might not end until Wednesday morning.
Delays and snow days for Wednesday are now probable, even likely.
As soon as we hear of the first cancellation, we'll start up our running list.
