PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Students and city workers stayed home on Monday after the school district and City Hall declared a snow day.  Much of the city followed. 

"Due to the anticipated snow accumulation and difficult travel conditions expected later today and into tomorrow, all municipal buildings in the City of Pittsfield will be closed to the public on Monday, January 26," the city announced on Sunday. 

"We anticipate opening for normal business hours on Tuesday, January 27. Emergency and storm crews remain in full operation." 

More than a foot of snow was dumped on the region throughout the day on Sunday, and picked up again before 11 a.m. on Monday. The weekend also saw below-zero temperatures, and an Extreme Cold Warning was in effect from Friday on. 

The Pittsfield Public Schools called off Monday classes on Sunday, and closed the Mercer Administration Building.  A message that pops up on the district website reminds families to stay safe. 

Berkshire Community College also closed its campus on Sunday and Monday because of the weather. 

On Monday morning, the city reported 16 to 40 inches across Pittsfield, with totals varying by elevation, location and drifting. Additional inches of snow were expected throughout the day. 

"As expected, our crews have had better success maintaining main roads compared to neighborhood streets," a 7:30 a.m. update from the city reads.
