Posted at 9:30 am Wow, what a storm! I just measured 9″ of very fluffy snow at my house. High resolution models suggest another 6″ before the storm winds down this afternoon. So everyone should see a foot or more, with some spots in the elevated terrain to the east seeing as much as 18″. It should begin to taper off early afternoon and end by 2 or 3 pm. It then turns windy and cold with blowing and drifting snow late this afternoon through Friday ..read more

Posted at 3:00 pm Analysis: The polar front, at the leading edge of a trough in the upper-level wave pattern, will pass through this afternoon, represented at the surface by a cold front. As a result, our temperatures will plummet overnight as the front moves to our south and then stalls over the Mid-Atlantic states. Temperatures will fall to near 20 by morning. Meanwhile, an upper-level disturbance (vorticity maximum) moving into the base of this trough (over Missouri) is generating upward motion and thus an area of snow extending from Missouri and Iowa eastward through Ohio. An associated su ..read more

Posted at 4:00 pm Summary and Analysis: The models were running a little on the warm side yesterday. As a result, instead of freezing rain changing to rain during the afternoon in the valleys, we got a coating of snow and sleet early and now have a widespread freezing rain event throughout the county. As of 2:30 pm, freezing rain with some sleet mixed in was falling throughout the county, with temperatures between 29 – 32 degrees in the valleys and 24 – 28 degrees over the elevated terrain. Freezing rain and sleet should taper off late this afternoon (around 3-4 pm) then pick up again for a sh ..read more

Summary: It now appears that the precipitation event for Tuesday into Wednesday will be all in liquid form in Berkshire County. However, the real concern is for freezing rain (icy glaze) as the ground is cold and temperatures will be at or below freezing when the rain starts. In the main towns and lower elevations, this should only be during the morning. Temperatures in these locations should be right around 30 degrees early in the morning when some patchy light rain or showers are likely to develop early, between about 7 and 9 am. Unfortunately, this might cause some slippery roads right as f ..read more

Posted at 3:00 pm Summary and Analysis: Because classes at BCC were cancelled today I have time for a bit longer post than usual so, if you are not in the mood for a little lecture then feel free to skip down to the forecast….. Berkshire County is being impacted by a very strange “noreaster” for this time of year. This resulted in a prolonged period of sleet (ice pellets) for most of the county last night with 1 – 2″ of accumulation. There was some snow mixed in along the higher ridges in the northeastern portions of the county, but for the most part, there was no snow from a low pressure syst ..read more
