It now appears that the surface low pressure system developing along the arctic front that was mentioned in yesterday’s forecast is developing more rapidly and closer to the coast. Therefore, it now looks like a fairly continuous period of, mostly light, snow will develop this evening around 8pm and continue til around 2am. Temperatures will, initially be above freezing in the lower elevations, so it will have trouble “sticking” at first. However, the southern track of the storm means locations in South County will get a greater liquid equivalent. The most likely snow accumulations should be 1-2″ in South County, with the higher amounts over the elevated terrain, where as much as 3″ could fall in some of the favored locations, such as Becket and Otis. In central Berkshire, 1/2″-2″ is likely, with the higher amounts over the elevated terrain. In North County, a coating to 1″ is most likely, with as much as 2″ in some spots over the elevated terrain to the east (e.g. Savoy, Florida).
