Weekend Storm Update--Saturday Edition

Weekend Storm Update--Saturday Edition

Jan 29, 2022

It's a frigid 6° at the GSD Home Office in Williamstown, and as of 2:00 PM, the snow has stopped. 

The snow, though, will continue to fall in parts of the Berkshires throughout the afternoon and early evening, and it should all wrap up before midnight. While it is sad to be missing out on all the fun they're having over in the eastern sections of New England (although power outages are decidedly not fun), we aren't getting completely shut out, and for that we are thankful.

We'll probably end up with 2 inches in Williamstown and close to 6 inches in the southeast corner of the county. Sandisfield had almost 5 inches as of noon today. These totals are more in line with the snowfall predictions we were seeing emerge from the models on Wednesday.

The key weather concern this afternoon and evening will be a bitter wind chill and blowing snow. We're expecting to see gusts up around 30 mph, which will lead to wind chill values in the negative high teens and low twenties.

Even though this storm is more or less a bust, there's always the next one. Here's a model for Friday, February 4:

Temps will be in the mid-40s on Thursday, so this map is likely unrealistic. But we still have a lot of winter left, and at this point forward the law of averages should be working in our favor.
