We wonder some times if the masses enjoy the hype before the storm more than the snow itself.
If the hype machine were a snow machine it'd be a blizzard out there. Coverage is ramping up for the weekend snow storm, but things are certainly looking iffy for a high volume storm for the Berkshires.

| The North American model prediction. Not a fan. |
Our two favorite models--the Euro and the North American--are not seeing eye-to-eye. The North American takes the storm off the Delmarva peninsula and then out to see south of the Cape and the islands.

| The Euro model (showing 7 AM Sunday morning). Ideally, we'd like the big red L to be more north and west. |
The Old Semi-reliable Euro takes the center of the storm much closer to southern New England and then out to sea. For our area to get the big snow, we need the center of the storm (also known as the center of the low pressure system) to hug the coast and/or pass right through Connecticut and central Massachusetts.
So, based on a blending of the models, we think that 2-5" is likely for the Berkshires starting late Saturday night and continuing through the morning hours of Sunday. Enough to shovel and maybe even enough for sledding. Travel could be difficult Sunday morning, especially for those in southern Berkshire County.
But the situation, as they say, is fluid. So stay tuned!
