The thermometer read -5 at GSD Headquarters this morning, and we're seeing wind chills in the -20s. It's officially the coldest morning of the winter of 2025-26.
This storm is affecting a large swath of the country. Accuweather estimates that 146 million people are in Winter Storm Warning area from Texas to Maine.
The storm is still on track to dump a foot or more of light fluffy snow on us. The Winter Storm Warning was announced Friday (much earlier than normal) and is set to begin Sunday morning and end at 7 PM on Monday.
Weather experts have moved the start time up. It appears the snow will start around 7 AM in southernmost Berkshire County and then the snow line slowly lifts, eventually getting to North Adams around 11 AM.
Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has declared a remote day for all non-essential state workers. She also has advised private companies allow people to work from home. Usually when that happens, public schools decide to close their doors for the day. Many schools and colleges in the Springfield area have already announced their closure for Monday. The only question for us in Berkshire County is when--not if--Superintendents will make their announcements about the snow day.
Here are some maps from around the country and the Northeast:
 |
| Boston Globe. Purple is definitely trending this year. |
 |
| The Weather Channel. Love those pink fissures amid all that purple. |
 |
| Accuweather. Keeping it conservative. |
 |
| Channel 22 Springfield. Reminiscent of a homework assignment completed at the last moment. |
 |
| Channel 10 Albany. The purple trend continues but the clash with the blue is unsettling. |

| NWS Albany. Reliable and autumnal. |
