More Snow
The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend.
We have reports that the roads are very slippery to take care in the evening commute. |

Democratic Primary Election Slated TuesdayStaff reports - September 15, 2008
iBerkshires
There's an election Tuesday. No, really! It's the state Democratic primary.
Berkshire County voters will be able help decide which Democrat will go on to face Republican challengers in the November election for U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.
Nine-term incumbent U.S. Rep. John W. Olver is being challenged for the Democrat nomination by Stockbridge attorney Robert Feuer.
The winner will face Republican Nathan Bech of West Springfield, an Army veteran who runs his family's property management business, in November.
Four-term incumbent U.S. Sen. John Kerry is being challenged by Gloucester attorney Edward O'Reilly. The winner will face Republican Jeff Beatty, founder of an anti-terrorism consulting firm, in November.
Kerry and O'Reilly participated in one debate; Olver and Feuer have not met.
The names of candidates for Senate, House, councillor, state senator and representative, register of probate and county commissioners and treasurer will all be on the ballot but the only primary races are for the congressional seats.
For more information on the candidates and their positions: Olver, Feuer, Kerry and O'Reilly.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
