The North Berkshires and Southern Vermont could see some snow overnight but probably not enough to take a sleigh to grandmother's house. 
 
A winter weather advisory has been issued through 10 a.m. on Wednesday by the National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., for North Berkshire and the Vermont counties of Bennington and Windham. 
 
Snow will move in later Tuesday evening and mix with sleet and freezing rain prior to midnight. The snow, sleet and freezing rain will change to plain rain during the late-night hours and diminish prior to noontime on Wednesday.
 
The forecast is for gusts of up to 40 mph and 2 to 5 inches of snow, with the higher accumulations in the southern Green Mountains. And it could leave icy roads across the region. 
 
It could mean slippery and hazardous roads in the morning so motorists are advised to use caution. 
 
Thanksgiving is expected to dawn cool and breezy with temperatures in the 40s.

Berkshire Reign's 1791 Classic Gets Underway

By Ben McDonoughiBerkshires.com Sports
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. -- The Berkshire Reign White 14-and-under baseball team opened the 1791 Classic with a 13-4, come-from-behind win over Rip City in a game shortened to five innings by the tournament's time limit.
 
The Reign got a triple and four runs batted in from Fernando Vasconcelos and a triple from Ryder Raifstanger in the win.
 
After trailing, 4-3, after three innings, the Reign took the lead with a three-run fourth and broke the game open with a seven-run fifth.
 
Rip City struck first in the bottom of the opening inning. After a leadoff single from Jeremiah Bullett and a walk to Ryder Froio, a wild throw allowed Froio to advance and eventually come around to score. Sebastian Ricchi followed with an infield single, giving Rip City an early advantage.
 
Berkshire answered in the second. After Raifstanger's triple put a runner in scoring position, a wild pitch brought him home to tie the game. Mikey Ireland later singled and moved a runner to third before Shayne Clairmont grounded out to bring another run home, putting Reign ahead 2-1.
 
Rip City threatened in the bottom half of the inning, but the Reign escaped the inning without allowing another run.
 
The game continued to swing back and forth in the third. Berkshire added to its lead after a single by John Naventi and an infield single from Fernando Vasconcelos put runners in scoring position. A walk to Camden Sievers brought another run across, extending the Reign lead to 3-1.
