Welcome: Good morning. Today will be a briefing-type post. We have a lot to discuss. This storm is going to be a widespread heavy snow event. So it is not going to be fun to be driving in later this morning or throughout today and tonight. Here are the details…

Alert: A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for all of Berkshire County until 1:00 AM tomorrow (Sunday.)

Timing: Right now it should be a rain/snow mix or plain snow. We should all be fully snow by later this morning. It will get very heavy at times. By very very late tonight it should all be done.

Snow: Generally 6 to 12 inches of snow is expected.

Sleet: Not expected.

Freezing Rain: Not expected.

Peak Wind: 15 to 25 mph, with gusts to 50 mph, coming from the Northwest.

Blowing/Drifting Snow: Widespread blowing and drifting snow is expected.

Snow Day Calculator: Not available.

Hazards Summary: It will be very dangerous to travel. Please bring emergency supplies if you are traveling during the storm. It will be snowing very heavy, so white out conditions are possible. Do not strain your back shoveling wet snow, take breaks, and stay hydrated. This heavy snow and wind may cause power outages and/or tree damage.

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!

Welcome: Good evening. This will be a briefing-type post. A lot has changed in a few hours. This storm is really ramping up to be a big one for most if not all of the county. Now lets get into it…

Alert: A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for all of Berkshire County from 4:00 AM tomorrow (Saturday) to 1:00 AM the day after tomorrow (Sunday.)

Timing: The storm track is expected to be farther south and east. This means more cold air. So now I think it really depends on where you live. It looks like some will start as snow very late tonight and not turn to a rain/snow mix. While others may start as a rain/snow mix and turn into snow tomorrow morning. All ends late tomorrow night.

Snow: Generally 5 to 10 inches of snow is expected, with a few places possibly reaching a foot. I want to note that there is still a potential the storm under performs or even over performs in snow totals.

Sleet: Not expected.

Freezing Rain: Not expected.

Peak Wind: 15 to 25 mph, with gusts up to 50 mph, coming from the West Northwest.

Blowing/Drifting Snow: Widespread blowing and drifting snow is expected.

Snow Day Calculator: Not available.

Hazards Summary: It will be very dangerous to travel. Please bring emergency supplies if you are traveling during the storm. Also snow will be heavy and wet at first so be careful with your back if you shovel. Finally snowfall rates may reach over 1 inch per hour in some spots, this heavy snow and wind may cause power outages and/or tree damage.

Anything Else: I hope you all stay safe. Please comment and like, thank you. Have an amazing night. I hope you are alright. So let tonight be your very best night. Cheers everyone!

Welcome: Good morning. Today will be a briefing-type post. Our storm late tonight and through tomorrow poses some questions like how cold will it be, how far east will the storm go, and how much moisture will be in the atmosphere? As always these are good questions, now here’s the show…

Alert: A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for Northern Berkshire County (Pittsfield and northward.) This is from 4:00 AM tomorrow (Saturday) to 1:00 AM the day after (Sunday.) A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Southern Berkshire County (Lenox and southward.) This is from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM tomorrow (Saturday.)

Timing: Depending on where you live and elevaton snow or rain should start late tonight. Some may stay all snow the whole event. Though more likely most of us may start as snow. Next change to rain and/or snow. Finally we should all end as snow. This will all happen depending on varying conditions probably sometime very late tonight it will start, while it will end very late tomorrow night.

Snow: Generally between 2 and 5 inches for South County, though amounts may be higher or lower. While I am generally expecting 5 to 8 inches for North County, though amounts may be higher or lower.

Sleet: Not expected.

Freezing Rain: Not expected.

Peak Wind: 15 to 25 mph, with gusts to 45 mph, coming from the Northwest.

Blowing/Drifting Snow: Scattered to widespread blowing and drifting snow is expected.

Snow Day Calculator: Not available.

Hazards Summary: It will be very dangerous to travel. Please bring emergency supplies if you are traveling during the storm. Also snow will be heavy and wet at first so be careful with your back if you shovel. Finally snowfall rates may reach 2 inches per hour in some spots, this heavy snow and wind may cause power outages and/or tree damage.

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!
