On Monday, we woke up to a beautiful sunny morning, then clouds took over in the afternoon. No big deal, if you ask me, but hours later the first flakes of snow came down as I went home in the nick of time after I left home base before the impending storm ramped up. We have seen worse here in the Berkshires and throughout western Massachusetts, but there has been a lack of the white stuff and Mother Nature is trying to play catch-up before spring sets in. Keep in mind, we can STILL get a significant snowfall during the month of March, but lets keep our fingers crossed this does not happen.

The jackpot was rewarded to the Hampshire County town of Plainfield which recorded the highest amount of snow in the western portion of Massachusetts (8 inches to be exact) according to reports submitted from across the state, but we're not done yet as some areas in the Worcester Hills and Berkshires may receive more accumulation by days end.
