Welcome: Good morning. This Nor’easter is still going to produce widespread heavy snow across our area. I want to remind you all, predicted snow totals are if the storm track stays as it is predicted. If the track shifts during the event, snow totals will be different than expected…
Alert: A Winter Storm Watch will go into effect, for Berkshire County and Bennington County, from 2:00 PM Monday going until 8:00 AM Wednesday.
Timing: Scattered morning snow tomorrow will develop into steady rain and/or snow tomorrow afternoon. Everyone should see a full transition to just heavy snow tomorrow night. This heavy snow will continue into Tuesday night. Scattered snow showers are here on Wednesday. Everything is done Wednesday night.
Snow: Widespread wet snow is likely. I expect 1 to 2 feet of wet snow in total. Some in the highest terrain could reach near 3 feet of wet snow.
Sleet: Not expected.
Freezing Rain: Not expected.
Rain: Scattered rain is likely. Rainfall amounts will depend on how much mixes into the snow.

Low Temperatures During the Event: (Monday night) The lower 30s.
High Temperatures During the Event: (Tuesday) The lower to mid 30s.
Blowing/Drifting Snow: Not expected.
Snow Day Calculator: 80% chance of a snow day for Tuesday. Early dismissals could be possible Monday, with delays being possible Wednesday.
Hazards Summary: Roads will be dangerous to impossible to drive on. Heavy snow and strong winds will likely cause numerous power outages and tree damage. Visibility will be limited at times. As this is wet snow, and high snowfall amounts are expected, be extra cautious while shoveling, so you do not strain your body. Start preparing today.
Anything Else: I hope you all stay safe. Please comment and like. Thank you. Have an amazing day. I hope all goes your way. So let today be your very best day. Cheers everyone!
