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.

North Adams Clothing Store Moving to Larger Space

Staff Reports
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Label Shopper is moving across the parking lot to the former Peebles location in April.
 
The discount clothing store has been located in the downtown's L-shaped mall downtown since 2009. It replaced Fashion Bug, which had been in that spot for 24 years before closing in 2007; the company liquidated in 2013. 
 
Label Shopper is part of Peter Harris Clothes, established in 1970 by Peter Elitzer. Starting as a single store in Latham, N.Y., offering brand-name apparel at discount prices, the company operates more than 70 stores throughout the Northeast and Midwest.
 
The store is set to close on April 6 for the move and reopen on April 9 in the former Gordmans, according to signage. 
 
Gordmans briefly replaced Peebles in the former Kmart until the parent company of the two brands declared bankruptcy and closed its stores in 2020. 
 
At 17,250 square feet, the Gordman's space is at least double the size of Label Shopper's current location.
