Monday/February/27/2023

Thursday/February/23/2023

Welcome: Good afternoon. My original thoughts a few days ago were correct. I did indeed receive more sleet than freezing rain or snow. I am unable to give specific amounts, as the sleet, small bit of snow, and freezing rain just merged together. It looks like snow, but feels like ice. I would advise you all to be extremely cautious today and tonight…

Wednesday/February/22/2023

Welcome: Good morning. We will have a mix of precipitation for this storm. In the end, if it does turn out to be an ice storm, totals will vary from house to house. I believe there is a good chance this will be mainly sleet and/or freezing rain. If it turns out to be all rain or all snow, I would be pretty shocked…

Alert: A Winter Weather Advisory will go into effect, for both Berkshire County and Bennington County, starting 4:00 PM today and going until 1:00 PM tomorrow.

Timing: Scattered snow during the day today will transition to widespread snow in the evening. At night a wintry mix will develop and will continue into Thursday night.

Welcome: Good morning. In my mind, the key question for our potential ice storm is, how warm do the temperatures rise to Thursday morning.
