Winners and Losers for Thursday, Feb. 13

The Winter Weather Advisory is going to go into effect starting at 7 PM tonight, but in general snow total predictions are down slightly (1-2") and ice predictions have held steady (0.05-0.16).

Current signs point to delays for districts in the eastern half of the county. The northeastern elementary schools are likely to have delays. And Central Berkshire, Farmington River, and Hoosac Valley all have a higher chance for delays than other districts.

Still, there is threat of ice through 8 AM, which means widespread delays are possible for all Berkshire County students. 

Because the precipitation will be light and road crews will be able to keep up with the precipitation, we are lowering the chance for delay from 50% to 40%. The schools mentioned above are in the 75% chance range, but schools to the west and south are in the 20% chance range.

Once we get through Thursday, we have a possible snow-to-rain event for the weekend. Current projection for liquid precipitation is 1" or more. More details about that storm tomorrow.
