Possible Delays Tuesday

Road crews have done a good job keeping up with the light snow throughout the day today, but delays are still possible for schools in Berkshire County on Tuesday.

Many schools in the Pioneer Valley and over in Albany are going with 2-hour delays, so it's best that we in Berkshire County stay alert to the possible surprise call for a delay tomorrow.

On another note, the models for the Sunday storm took a bad turn today and are showing the storm sliding out to sea. But that was also the case for yesterday's storm at one point so we still need to pay attention to the chance for snow on Sunday.

Snow Storm Recap; New Storm Possible on Sunday

The Berkshires may see an additional inch or two today, but this storm is effectively over. We recorded 9.5" at GSD Headquarters in Williamstown. Generally, though, most in the county got between 10 and 16 inches. We did not quite get to the 18" or 24" prediction. The heavier snow bands were to our east.

While shoveling this morning, a few staff members reported a fine mist that was instantly freezing on surfaces due to the cold temperature (16 degrees).  This mist will likely give way to snow later in the morning.

Because our snow totals were not at the blockbuster level that was predicted, it's unlikely that we'll see delays on Wednesday.

The rest of the week will be cold with daily highs in the mid-teens and lows in the single digits. Friday is expected to be the coldest day of the week with the mercury only reaching the 12 degree mark.

Both models are showing a storm for Sunday into Monday (again). The Euro model is showing another 6-8 storm for southern New England, but the North American model takes the bulk of the storm out to sea. Folks on the coast of New England would see snow.

The Euro's snow prediction for Sunday (Feb. 1) night.

We will be monitoring to see if the models come into alignment later in the week. Another snow day for Monday is a possibility.
