Another Ice Advisory for Friday AM (Mar. 6)

Almost all Berkshire County schools enjoyed a delayed start this morning due to icy conditions. The combination of patchy drizzle and temps right around freezing led to icing, and you know school heads do not like to fool around with ice. That, and the many unpleasant emails they likely received for not going with the early release yesterday.

Yesterday's snow over-performed and dropped 4-6" in Western Mass, which was a few inches higher than expected.

NWS Albany ice forecast for Thursday night and Friday morning.

And despite the long-range forecast showing 60s and possibly 70s by Wednesday, we still have another Winter Weather Advisory to contend with Thursday night and Friday morning. There won't be much snow with this system (1" or so) but the ice forecast is up around 0.25" which is not insignificant. If the ice is still accumulating Friday around 5 AM, delays are definitely going to happen Friday morning.

More info to come tomorrow.
