Greylock Snow Day presents "GSD Selects"

Miss your GSD? Well, we certainly miss you. Need to pass the time until the first blockbuster storm of the 2011-12 winter season? Then just click on over to "GSD Selects" and see what the GSD Staff has to offer you for your off-season listening, viewing, and reading enjoyment.

Each week (at least), the GSD Staff will select songs, movies, tv shows, websites--you name it--that you just might find interesting. Does this have anything to do with weather? Not really. But it should help you wile away the hours until the original GSD gets cranked up again in November.

See You Next Fall!

The record-setting 80 degrees we hit yesterday (April 11, 2011) is the final indication that the snow season is officially over for 2010-2011. What an amazing winter it was:

*Around 100 inches of snow in the Berkshires
*Three snow days and three two-hour delays for the GSD district
*Two 18"+ storms
*Countless, edge-of-our-seat near misses
*Snow cover from December right on through March
*Over 50,000 visits to GSD

The GSD staff is now officially on vacation. We'll drop a post every once in a while if we hear any good news about the 2011-12 snow season, and we've had snow as late as May 10th around here so you just never know. For next year, the early word is that we'll be in the La Nina pattern again, which bodes extremely well for us snow lovers.

Don't hesitate to offer up a suggestion for ways to improve GSD by leaving us a comment.

Chance of a Delay for 4.4

Even though Friday's huge miss by all weather folks could have been the symbolic Death of Winter for 2010-11, GSD would be remiss if we did not report that there is an outside shot at a delay for Monday April 4th.

The storm will come in from the west and should start around 2 am. It will start as snow, and the Northern Berkshires could get three inches of snow. The problem with these early springs snows is that often the roads are too warm to allow the snow to accumulate. What is likely to occur is that we'll have 2 inches on grassy surfaces but not much to get excited about on the roads.

The snow will change to rain in the morning, so there is no chance of a snow day. As long as there's snow, GSD is committed to keeping you in the know.
