Snow for Winterfest 2014!

Computer models continue to converge around a significant snowstorm Tuesday night through Wednesday, just in time for Amherst's annual celebration of the season, Winterfest, on Saturday Feb. 8! The event goes on with or without nature-made snow, but this way makes life easier all around. Over the past week, Head in the Clouds Amherst has been updating event organizers on potential snow and - thanks to the impending storm - we've become pretty popular in the process. Right now, it looks like our area, including most of Western Massachusetts north of the Mass Pike, will be in an all-snow zone, with significant (6-12 inch) snowfall amounts. Track is everything and things could change, but at this point it looks more like a question of how much snow we will get rather than whether or not it will snow. Snow IS in our future. (And if we turn out to be wrong on that count, we'll  just have to live with becoming the least popular weather bloggers around, at least until the next storm!)
