Greylock Snow Day concurs that there is the potential of 7 plus inches of snow in Northern Berkshire County
Greylock Snow Day does add that warm air could spoil the party for those hoping for a snow day. Warm air could downgrade the snowstorm into a rain event. This could mean a delay instead of a snow day depending on when everything starts to happen.
According to Accuweather, only 3 to 6 inches is expected in Pittsfield. Less is expected in south county.
In a post Wednesday, Greylock Snow Day predicted that at the very least South County schools will have delays. At this point in North County, they expect a full-on snow day for Northern Berkshire schools.
