For the record, if this storm were on a school day, the GSD would be going with the 100% chance of a snow day due to the robust snow amount and perfect timing. Alas, better luck next time.
We're still on track for a banger of a storm. The Watch has not yet been upgraded to a Warning, but it will be shortly. Model runs are still consistently project 8-12 inches for our areas. Higher elevation towns on the east-facing slopes will get the highest amounts. The GSD Office in Williamstown could see the least amount with 6-8" by Sunday afternoon.
Today at the GSD satellite office (also in Williamstown), the big excitement wasn't the latest weather map but a moose sighting. Go figure.
Everyone in the Berkshires should see flakes by 8 PM. Many will see them a few hours earlier than that. We were hoping to see temps in the mid-20s to give us that nice fluffy snow, but it will be closer to freezing so the snow will be denser and harder to shovel. That density might also keep totals closer to 8" than 12". Be aware that winds will kick up on Sunday so the blowing and drifting of snow could make driving conditions less than ideal.
Enjoy the first big one of the season. Perhaps this one will break the ice, so to speak, and commence a parade of storms. More snow is expected mid-week (with rain, too) and next weekend.
