Welcome: Good morning. Happy Martin Luther King Junior Day. Today will be a briefing-type post. I am finally much better. Thank you for all the well wishes. So far I have gotten 6.8 inches of snow. How much have you gotten? Please comment on the answer, thank you…
Alert: Winter Storm Warning in effect for all of Berkshire County until 10:00 PM tonight.
Timing: Right now it should be windy with snow or a wintry mix for high elevations. However for lower elevations it should be breezy with a wintey mix or plain rain. This afternoon and tonight should turn back to snow and it may fall steadily at times before ending tomorrow morning.
Snow: Widespread snow is expected. You can generally expect 4 to 12 inches in all, maybe less or more depending on your elevation and location.

Freezing Rain: Scattered freezing rain is expected, I see up to a few hundredths of an inch possible in all.
