Heavy Snow Still To Come

Even though the main thrust of the storm is still several hours away, we've had an active day with early releases, closures, and remote days called for Tuesday. It's almost like old times!

We're seeing very light snow in most parts of the Berkshires, but there is a very strong band of snow in Connecticut and New York running parallel to the MA/CT border. This band will gradually push northward. Once it gets to your area, you will notice how hard the snow is coming down.

That's an impressively heavy band of snow from northern Philly up and across to Martha's Vineyard. Eventually it will push up into our area.

We're still on track for 8-14 inches in the Berkshires, with the southeast corner and east-facing slopes getting the higher totals. Not much has changed since yesterday in terms of the intensity and timing of the storm. Road travel tonight and tomorrow morning will be very difficult.

Most schools will have either a snow day or a remote day tomorrow. Here's what we know for certain. Please write a comment or reach out through social media if any of this information is incorrect or needs to be updated (@GreylockSnowDa1 Twitter; @greylock_snow_day on Instagram; Greylock Snow Day on Facebook).
