More Sleet, Snow on the Way

Staff ReportsPrint Story | Email Story
It's starting to feel like the cold and snow will never leave. Get ready for another blast of snow Thursday and again on the weekend across the Berkshire region. 
 
The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., has issued a winter weather advisory for Western Mass, Southern Vermont and eastern New York beginning at 7 a.m. on Thursday through 6 p.m. 
 
It will start out with snow but later turn to a sleety mix of rain and ice in the afternoon. Be prepared for slippery roads. 
 
There's a chance for up to 2 to 4 inches of snow but ice seems more likely. Our friends at Greylock Snow Day are only giving a 10 percent chance of a snow day largely because the storm will hit the Berkshires after everyone's in school, and end by afternoon. 
 
"Your only real chance for a snow day tomorrow is if your superintendent is in a very generous mood," GSD writes.
 
Temperatures will continue to hover around freezing — dipping into the single digits again on Wednesday night.
 
It may warm up slightly this weekend, enough for another round of snow and sleet on Sunday. Last year, according to Accuweather, the temperatures were in the 50s. The temperatures have hit 32 degrees or higher about a dozen times in the past 36 days, with a high of 41 on Monday. The year ended with highs in the 40s and 50s in the days leading up to New Year's Eve and on New Year's Day.
 

More snow is coming to New England on Thursday. Here are the forecast maps.
