A QUICK WHAT’S-UPDATE… FOG THIS EVENING, ESPECIALLY EARLY GIVES WAY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, CLEARING LATE… NICE WEDNESDAY… MORE ACCUMULATING SNOW EARLY THURSDAY MORNING TURNING TO ICE AND RAIN… (6:25am Tues)

Good evening everybody, just a quick update to, well, keep you up to date!

For tonight, some fog has already formed, some may be dense for a while. Eventually, it will dissipate as temps fall into the low to mid 20s for lows. Mostly cloudy skies will clear late.

Tomorrow turns into a mostly sunny day, highs mid to upper 30s, a hell of a day for mid-February to be sure.

Clouds return tomorrow night as yet another storm gets hurled out of the south northeast through the Ohio Valley and right over us to just to our west.

Snow begins in the Berkshires/Litchfields by late at night, maybe even before midnight, then around/just after midnight everywhere else.

We start to mix with and change to rain in northern CT well before dawn, but it might snow north of the Pike up until about 4-5am, or a touch later (especially north of Northampton).

Broadbrush amounts are coating to 1″ of snow south of the Pike, 1-3″ Pike to Rt. 2 corridor, and 3-6″ north of Rt. 2, with some 6″+ amounts in southern VT.

Snow turns to sleet/freezing rain north of the Pike and rain south of there by dawn, changing to rain up to Rt. 2 corridor by early/mid morning, with ice north of there, possibly until it quits by noon or so.

Another slippery morning for many in the high terrain is coming up Thursday morning, so heads up peeps!

After the storm leaves, the front passes through, and we crash the temps into the teens Thursday night with northwest cold breezes.

Friday and Saturday is cold, sunny, and relatively calm with highs in the 20-25 range, teens north into SVT and SWNH, lows in the single digits, and below zero in SVT Friday night, brutally cold.

Sunday we get milder and see some mixed precip later in the day into Sunday night, more on that as we get closer.

Have a great night folks!

Good morning everybody, here we still are in this dream we call Life where we get to tell our bodies what we want them to do (if we’re lucky), we get to react to the world how we choose with our magical minds, and then these things called emotions/feelings at the interface between the two, and boy aren’t those a bundle of fun!

Well, sometimes they are, and sometimes they’re extremely wacky, but onward we go into this amazing thing called “another day” that we’ve been given. Forward!

SUMMARY
–We’ve got areas of freezing drizzle this morning in the Berkshires, western hills, SVT, SWNH and parts of Franklin and northern Worcester Counties this AM
–Some roads will be slick so pay attention, peeps
–There may even be some mixed light snow or sleet and a few light coatings are possible
–Otherwise, as temps warm up into the upper 30s for highs today, any frozen precip should turn to drizzle or showers as the morning wears on
–Most of the steadier showers will remain over CT today, but a swath of showers should develop between late morning and mid afternoon in WMass/CMass
–That storm ships east of us, and we dry out tonight under mostly cloudy skies with lows in the mid to upper 20s and clearing late
–For Wednesday, high pressure builds in for a mostly sunny lovely day with highs in the mid to upper 30s
–Clouds will build Wednesday night, and either side of midnight snow should push back into the region with lows bottoming out in the mid 20s to the north and west and low 30s south and east
–Snow may be short-lived overnight, changing to sleet and freezing rain by or before dawn with generally a coating to 2″ possible, but we’ll watch for any surprises like yesterday’s event
–Any snow/ice should change to rain as Thursday morning develops, and all precip should quit by noon or so
–Highs will crest to around 40 degrees before a cold front crashes the party and causes temps to plummet down into the teens for Thursday night with northwest winds gusting to 20mph or so
–Friday and Saturday are fair and cold with highs in the teens to 20s both days with a quick shot of modified Arctic air
–We see mild temps return again Sunday and Monday with another chance of light mixed precip

Have a great day!
