Berkshires Getting Snow, Icy Rain Overnight

04:17PM / Tuesday, February 10, 2026Print Story | Email Story

Just because the Tuesday reached a relatively balmy 30 degrees, don't think that winter is giving up.

The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., has issued a winter weather advisory from Tuesday afternoon through 6 a.m. Wednesday for up to 4 inches of snow and sleety ice.

Plan on slippery roads and hazardous conditions driving home. Snow will begin late this afternoon and then switch to a wintry mix including freezing rain, in the evening. This precipitation may linger into the morning, freezing roadways in the morning.

The state Department of Transportation is advising travelers that approximately 2-4 inches is forecast across most of the state, and up to 2 inches is expected on the Cape and Islands.

Highway Districts have pretreated state roadways in advance of the storm and will be deploying snow removal crews and equipment to clear state roadways as snow begins to accumulate. Drivers are encouraged to use caution and reduce speed, as snow may cause slippery roadway conditions.

"MassDOT is monitoring upcoming snowfall that is expected to impact today’s evening commute, with 2 to 4 inches possible across most of Massachusetts," said State Highway Administrator Jonathan Gulliver.?"For commuters and anyone else out on the roads this afternoon and evening, we encourage everyone to allow for extra time, reduce speeds, and to be mindful of our snow removal crews and snowplows."

MassDOT has more than 3,000 pieces of state and vendor equipment available.

Greylock Snow Day puts the chance of a school day off on Wednesday at zero but notes it could case delays, especially in South County.

McCann Tech Deems Social Media Threat 'Not Credible' After Police Investigation

Staff Reports 09:19AM / Thursday, March 12, 2026

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — McCann Technical School officials confirmed Thursday that a threatening social media post directed at the school was found to be a illagitaemt following an investigation by the North Adams Police Department (NAPD).

School administrators notified families that the NAPD determined the social media account responsible for the post was not legitimate and there is no credible threat to the campus.

"The post did contain threatening content to McCann Tech, but after investigation by NAPD it was found that the threat was NOT credible and that the social media account was NOT legitimate," the school stated in a message to the community.

While authorities have concluded that students and staff are not in any danger, McCann officials have requested an increased police presence at the school Thursday morning. The school emphasized that this measure is being taken out of an "extreme abundance of caution" to help students and families feel comfortable starting the day.

The NAPD is asking anyone with information regarding the origin of the post to contact the department directly.

Following the internal notification from McCann, North Adams Public Schools (NAPS) issued an "all-call" to its own district families Thursday morning.

"North Adams Public Schools will continue to operate using its standard safety procedures," the NAPS statement read, echoing the police department's conclusion that there is no active threat to local students.

McCann is part of the Northern Berkshire Regional Vocational Technical School District, not NAPS.
