Storm Causes Few ProblemsStaff reports - December 03, 2007
NORTH ADAMS - The first major snowstorm of the season dropped 6 inches or more on the Berkshires and Southern Vermont overnight Sunday, canceling schools and creating treacherous driving conditions.
Despite the icy slush around Northern Berkshire, there were few accidents as residents made their way to work.
In the city, a motor vehicle accident on Barbour Street at about 10:30 a.m. sent at least one person to the hospital. A second accident occurred around noon on State Street but no injuries were reported.
Cars parked along several city streets impeded the work of snowplow drivers as the tried to clear the roadways. Several had to be tagged or towed away. During a snow emergency, parking is not allowed overnight on the city's streets.
State police reported a tractor-trailer jackknifed earlier Monday in the town of Florida on Route 2 near the Whitcomb Summit. The highway had to be closed until the vehicle, from New Jersey, was removed; the driver reportedly had minor injuries and was transported to North Adams Regional Hospital.
There were no reported accidents in Williamstown, although Adams had a flurry of minor fender-benders.
As the snow tapered off shortly after noon, the wind picked up as temperatures began dropping into the 20s. A dusting of snow, up to an inch or more in some regions, was expected during the night.
Temperatures are expected to stay in the 20s through Tuesday, with winds of 25 to 30 mph making it seem even colder.
Cold and light snow are forecast through the weekend. |
