INTRO: Greetings everybody. I am so excited for the snow, I just can‘t hold it in. I want to share with all you my personal opinion on this storm. I still face my concussion symptoms, but feel it is my duty to report to you all about our incoming storm. It is honor to forecast for you all. Enjoy and please excuse any/all grammar issues. Thank you…

ALERT: A Winter Storm Warning will go into effect, for Northern and Southern Berkshire County, beginning at 4:00 PM this afternoon (Saturday January 6th) and going until 7:00 PM tomorrow evening (Sunday January 7th).

A separate Winter Storm Warning will for into effect, for Bennington County, beginning 7:00 PM this evening (Saturday January 6th) and going until 7:00 PM tomorrow evening (Sunday January 7th).

TIMING: Some snow could start falling today across the area during the day today. The further south you live means the earlier the snow will start for you. Southern Berkshire County will likely face it first, while some spots in Bennington County might not begin until this evening.

It is looking like a steady snow will continue between tonight and into tomorrow morning. This snow might even fall heavily at 1-inch per hour intensities. Snow should begin to lighten up throughout tomorrow. All snow should end by Monday morning.

Totals: This is going to be a big snowstorm. Actually, the first snowstorm for us this new year! I feel confident a solid 6 inches will fall throughout the entire region. The average amounts should be 8 to 12 inches. The low end is looking like 6 to 8 inches. The lower totals will likely be for the Western parts of the Berkshires and Bennington County. The highest amounts seem to be 12 to 15 inches, probably in the Eastern parts of the area.

Extra Details: It is important to note, the snow will likely be somewhat fluffier, though, with my concussion, I am not sure what to think. That being said, for this forecast, truly take it with a grain of salt, my mind is not perfect, so the low end and high end amounts are each possible.

Hazards: It is definitely going to be dangerous and likely difficult to drive during this. Roads will likely be covered in snow, as temperatures should stay below freezing for most of us. Some gusty winds are also possible, so visibility could also be limited. If the snow decides to be fluffier, then blowing and drifting snow might also be a concern.

Closing Statement: Please be safe everyone. I wish you all the best, and hope for the most snow possible. I won‘t be posting regularly. I just felt this is an occasion where I had luckily some more energy and felt it is a matter of public safety over personal health. Thank you all for reading. Have a great weekend. Cheers everyone!

Monday/January/1/2024

Happy New Year! I hope the holidays went well for everyone. I apologize for not posting. This is due to my continued concussion. Until I am much better, I still won’t be posting daily. However, I want to open the New Year with this post. It must have been quite the hit, as I am not sure if I recalls telling all of you, I have a double concussion. The front of my brain and the back both got injured.

I have some big news. First, we got a dog. Her name is Emmie and she is two. She is a black lab mix. The mix might be from Pit Bull. The dog really helps. When I fall, she runs over to help me up, or get attention of my parents. She is the sweetest dog I recall meeting.

Second, my great-grand uncle has reconnected with the family. He is so kind. I thank him for helping with family research, sharing photos, and being so very kind. Thank you Uncle Bill.

Third, I have only been going to school for two hours. This week, we hope to try a full half day. A slow recovery, but I continue to be optimistic. I thank you all for your support and understanding.

Fourth and last but not least, I want to wish all my family members a happy birthday. Many, many, many have birthdays from December to February, with the peak in January. One special one, is, if I am correct, my great-grandma June’s. As we call her, Nana, her birthday is this Friday, January 5th. She turns 102! Happy Birthday.

I hope winter is going well for all of you and continues to. Maybe some snow will come. As I am the Weather Warlock, my concussion is limiting my abilities to control the snow. This weekend might have a surprise. Let’s see.

Cheers everyone!

Process

Greetings Berkshire Weather fans, followers, friends, and family. I am slowly healing, time is still needed before I get back to reporting the weather. I just wanted to let you all know. Thank you all for your support. Cheers everyone!

Update 5

Greetings. Still no Berkshire Weather. I am not giving a date for a possible return, as it is unknown. I will try to update weekly, if I can remember. No one knows the time my recovery will take. Thank you all for your understanding. Cheers.

UPDATE 4

So, it seems I have a double concussion, as my brain hit the front of my head and then hit the back. It will take time to heal, but each week I slowly feel better. No Berkshire Weather between today Saturday November 4th and Sunday November 12th. Cheers.

UPDATE 3

Greetings. I am again having to cancel all Berkshire Weather forecasts for the days of today Friday October 27th through Friday November 3rd. We will reevaluate the situation then. This is as the severity of my concussion becomes a larger concern. I thank you all for your well wishes. Cheers.

Concussion Update

I have to keep this short, as the screens are not good for me, and if I think, my head begins to hurts. There will be no Berkshire Weather forecasts from today Friday October 20th until at least Friday October 27th. I have a serious concussion and will reevaluate what to do Friday October 27th. Thank you all for your understanding. Cheers.

URGENT UPDATE

I am sorry to you all, but I have a concussion, so I will not be able to post for Thursday (October 19) and Friday (October 20). I will reevaluate the situation for the weekend. Thank you all for your understanding. Cheers!
