CLARKSBURG, Mass. — The town saw a tepid turnout for Tuesday's annual election despite races for Select Board and School Committee. 
 
Town Clerk Marilyn Gomeau said about 22 percent of the town's registered voters, or 273 out of 1,254, cast ballots. 
 
Colton Andrews, a union executive, took first place with 137 votes in the three-way race for Select Board; Bryana Malloy garnered 70 votes and Seth Alexander 64. 
 
Alexander also lost his challenge to School Committee incumbent Cynthia Brule, 191-78. However, he earned 199 votes unopposed for a one-year term as moderator and 198 for a five-year seat on the Planning Board. 
 
Re-elected unopposed were Norman Rolnick for Board of Health and Bonnie Cunningham for library trustee. There were no candidates for tree warden and War Memorial, which received write-ins of 39 and 27, respectively.

Snow, or More Snow? Depends on Your State

The Berkshires could get 2 to 4 inches of snow on Friday. Or it could get 6 to 9 inches.
 
Which are you hoping for? 
 
The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., has issued a winter storm warning for Southern Vermont and a winter storm advisory for the Berkshires — but any snow isn't likely to stop at the imaginary border. 
 
The warning was issued early Thursday afternoon for communities including Bennington, Pownal and Stamford, Vt., beginning Friday at 10 a.m. through Saturday at 1 p.m.
 
The day will start off with a wintry mixed precipitation of snow, sleet and freezing rain. The forecast for total snow accumulations are 6 to 9 inches and up at a 10th of an inch of ice. Snowfall rates may reach up to an inch an hour in the evening. 
 
In the Berkshires, the prediction is 2 to 4 inches of snow with the advisory also in effect from 10 a.m. on Friday to 1 a.m. on Saturday. The higher elevations could see up to 7 inches; the region could see up to 2/10th of an inch of ice. 
 
Snow during the day on Friday will likely be wet and heavier before becoming lighter and drier in the evening.
