Icy Rain, Snow for North Berkshire Today; More Snow Forecast

10:59AM / Wednesday, February 18, 2026

The never-ending winter gave us a few warmish, clear days — a tease of spring — but that's apparently over.

The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., has issued a winter storm advisory to North Berkshire, Southern Vermont and the New York Capital District.

The advisory begins at noon Wednesday and runs through 4 a.m. on Thursday.

Be prepared for one to 4 inches of precipitation — a sleety rain that will turn to snow later in the day.

There were predictions of up to 6 inches but meteorologist Steve Caporizzo at ABC News10 on Wednesday morning has an updated forecast of 3 to 5 inches across North Berkshire and one to 3 inches to the south.

There's no worry on school closures or delays in Massachusetts as it's winter break. Vermont schools, however, are still in session with their break beginning next week.

The snowfall is expected to taper off early Thursday morning but the accumulation and a likely icy glaze could make both evening and morning commutes hazardous.
