Winter Storm Watch, Tuesday through Thursday (really!)

After The Great Fizzle, it may be hard to believe anything is really coming in our direction, but sure enough, we're under a Winter Storm Watch right now, from late Tuesday night through Thursday morning. While heavy snow is predicted for the east slopes of the Berkshires and northern Massachusetts (as much as 10 inches will fall in the higher elevations), we will likely see only about 2-4 inches of snow here in Amherst. Expect to wake up to snow on Wednesday morning, wonder whether the schools will call a snow day, and watch as the snow continues to fall during the day and into Wednesday night. Whatever does fall as snow will be heavy and wet, so especially at those higher elevations, there may be some power outages. Something is brewing for the weekend as well, but we'll cross that particular bridge to knowledge a few days from now. Tomorrow should be pretty nice out, a great day for running the errands you won't want to run on Thursday.
