Even though only two schools in Berkshire County had the full snow day today, the staff at GSD still stands by its 50% prediction for snow days today. If anything, 50% was too cautious as most Superintendents--if they were to answer honestly--probably would have kept students home or released them early due the road conditions in the afternoon. From firsthand experience, the roads were not great in Northern Berkshire County when the high-schoolers got let out. We also read reports that Pittsfield roads were bad during the afternoon.
The silver lining is that odds will move slightly in our favor the next time around. As they say: once bitten twice shy. Unfortunately, we're not sure Old Man Winter will be gnashing his teeth any time soon.

| Model prediction for snow throughout the day on Friday. |
Friday's snow will be very light and then we have our eye on a more potent storm midweek. Right now the American model is showing moderate snow for Wednesday but the Euro is not. We have deep concerns that the storm next week will be mostly rain, given the forecast for temps in the 30s. Of course we'll be monitoring it intently, but currently we have low confidence for a snow day next week.
