Wintry Mix Into Monday, Then Warmer Temps on Tap

Print Story | Email Story
Mother Nature couldn't quite decide what to gift us with this weekend, so she decided to give us a little bit of everything: freezing rain, sleet, snow. 
 
The National Weather Service has posted a winter weather advisory for Sunday and into Monday morning. 
 
This mixed precipitation will be coming down over the Berkshires on Sunday afternoon and then switching over to snow, mainly in the upper regions. Total snow and sleet accumulations of one to two inches are expected, except 2 to 4 inches are possible over the Berkshires, Northern Taconics, and eastern Catskills. Ice accumulations of a coating to around one-10th of an inch. Some slightly higher ice accumulations are possible at elevations greater than 1,500 feet such as the eastern Catskills.
 
When will it end? Right now, it's looking to finish up by 4 a.m. on Monday but that could still mean a slippery drive in the morning. Roads may be hazardous, especially early in the morning. 
 
Accuweather is predicting temperatures will remain in the 30s, though they may hover around freezing, into Monday. We could see a few snow showers on Monday and then a dip into the 20s on Tuesday. 


Then it looks like we're on track for another week of relative quiet weather. We had a white Thanksgiving, but as Christmas approaches, it doesn't look good for a white one of those. Weather.com defines a "white Christmas" as "1 inch of snow on the ground on the morning of Dec. 25" and they think our chances are in the "possible" range. 

The long-range forecast? Snow showers from Dec. 23-27. We shall see!

Clarksburg FinCom, Select Board Agree on $1.9M Town Operating Budget

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
CLARKSBURG, Mass. — The town is looking at an operating budget of $1,859,413 for fiscal 2025, down a percent from this year largely because of debt falling off.
 
Town officials are projecting a total budget at about $5.1 million, however, the School Committee is not expected to approve a school budget for two more weeks so no final number has been determined.
 
Town officials said they've asked the school budget to come in at a 2 percent increase. Finance Committee member Carla Fosser asked what would happen if it was more than that. 
 
"Then we would need to make cuts," said Town Administrator Carl McKinney, adding, "I'm a product of that school. But at the same time, we have a town to run to and, you know, we're facing uncertain weather events. And our culverts are old, the roads are falling apart. ... ." 
 
The assessment to McCann Technical School is $363,220, down about $20,000 from this year.
 
The major increases on the town side are step and cost-of-living raises for employees (with the exception of the town clerk at her request), the addition of a highway laborer, an increase in hours from 16 to 24 for the town accountant, and insurance and benefits that are about $70,000. There is a slight increase for employee training and supplies such as postage.
 
Select Board Chair Robert Norcross at Wednesday's joint meeting with the Finance Committee, said the town's employees are hard-working and that wages aren't keeping up with inflaction.
