More Snow Headed to the Berkshires Including Next Week
If you're a fan of snow and outdoor winter activities, the past couple of weeks plus the next few days are glorious times for you. If you aren't, you'll have to learn to be patient very quickly and wait it out because more snow is headed to the Berkshires and surrounding areas.
The National Weather Service in Albany has called for a Winter Storm Watch which will be in effect from noon Thursday (Feb. 18) through 7 p.m. Friday (Feb. 19) for the Berkshires and surrounding areas which includes snow accumulations of six inches or more.
As always you'll want to give yourself plenty of time and use extra caution while driving as travel could be very difficult. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening commutes.
