More Nasty Weather Headed Toward the Berkshires

Although many areas in the region were slammed with the last winter storm, it was pretty much a dud here in the Berkshires. We did get some ice accumulations, but really nothing in terms of snowfall. Well, Mother Nature has decided to take another crack at the Berkshires, as a new storm system moves in and is expected to deliver a significant amount of snow.  

Forecasters with the National Weather Service in Albany, New York have issued a Winter Storm Watch for Northern Berkshire-Southern Berkshire-Bennington-Western Windham- 

Eastern Windham- including the cities of Dalton, Hancock, Pittsfield, Florida, North Adams, Sandisfield, Great Barrington, South Egremont, here is the Berkshires – and also in Stamford, Bennington, Woodford State Park, Pownal, Stratton, Londonderry, Brattleboro, Guilford Center, West Brattleboro, and Bellows Falls. 

The Winter Storm Watch goes into effect Thursday afternoon through Friday evening.
