NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Northern Berkshire Community Coalition's annual September Community Assessment Forum will focus on not only identifying emerging and urgent issues in the community, but hearing about what projects or initiatives participants want to learn more about. 
 
The forum will be held on Friday, Sept. 13, from 10 to noon at Terra Nova located at 85 Main St.
 
Children are welcome.
 
Everyone in Northern Berkshire can attend with topics for discussion.  
 
"Our monthly forums are designed to get residents talking and learning about the issues and concerns that affect the quality of life in our community. Please join us and be a part of the change you want to see in North Berkshire," said Amber Besaw, NBCC's executive director.
 
The forum will begin with a round of introductions, followed by brief announcements of upcoming events or new projects.

Winter Storm Warning Issued for Berkshires

Another snowstorm is expected to move through the region overnight on Friday, bringing 5 to 8 inches of snow. This is updated from Thursday's winter weather advisory. 
 
The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., has posted a winter storm warning for all of Berkshire County and parts of eastern New York State beginning Friday at 4 p.m. through Saturday at 1 p.m. 
 
The region could see heavy to moderate snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour overnight, tapering off Saturday morning to flurries.
 
Drivers should exercise caution on Friday night and Saturday morning, as travel conditions may be hazardous.
 
Saturday night should be clear and calm, but warming temperatures means freezing rain Sunday night and rain through Monday with highs in the 40s. The forecast isn't much better through the week as temperatures dip back into the teens with New Year's Eve looking cloudy and frigid.
