After the Slush: Warmer Weather Arrives

Staff Reports12:15PM / Thursday, March 05, 2026

Yuck. After Tuesday's surprise snowstorm (1 to 2 inches??), which sent kids home early and canceled activities, there's another mess headed our way.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for all of Western Massachusetts, Southern Vermont, northern Connecticut and most of Upstate New York and the Capital Region.

The warning runs from 5 p.m. on Thursday to noon Friday, with a forecast of snow and sleet and icy rain.

The region can expect total accumulations of one to 2 inches, with greater expectations of ice totals in the higher elevations.

This will start as rain on Thursday afternoon, before changing over to sleet and freezing rain, and then snow across the northern region. This is expected to taper off on Friday morning.

The evening and morning commutes will be messy with black ice and slippery roads.

Greylock Snow Day's confidence meter is at 45 percent for school delays on Friday morning.
