Snow, Sleet, Ice in the Forecast

Print Story | Email Story
The North Berkshires and Southern Vermont could see some snow overnight but probably not enough to take a sleigh to grandmother's house. 
 
A winter weather advisory has been issued through 10 a.m. on Wednesday by the National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., for North Berkshire and the Vermont counties of Bennington and Windham. 
 
Snow will move in later Tuesday evening and mix with sleet and freezing rain prior to midnight. The snow, sleet and freezing rain will change to plain rain during the late-night hours and diminish prior to noontime on Wednesday.
 
The forecast is for gusts of up to 40 mph and 2 to 5 inches of snow, with the higher accumulations in the southern Green Mountains. And it could leave icy roads across the region. 
 
It could mean slippery and hazardous roads in the morning so motorists are advised to use caution. 
 
Thanksgiving is expected to dawn cool and breezy with temperatures in the 40s.

Q&A with State Representative Challenger Andrew Fitch

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — On Sept. 1, voters in the First Berkshire District will decide whether they want to send a new representative to Beacon Hill in Boston.
 
Andrew Fitch, currently a city councilor in the district's largest municipality — and the commonwealth's smallest city — is challenging former North Adams Mayor John Barrett III, who won the First Berkshire seat in a 2017 special election, in the Democratic Party primary.
 
There is no Republican on the primary ballot for the First Berkshire seat so the primary will effectively be the election for the seat. 
 
The two candidates met for their only debate on Aug. 13 at Williams College. iBerkshires.com reached out to both candidates to follow up on some of the points raised in the debate and get their thoughts on some other issues facing the district.
 
Below are excerpts from a conversation with challenger Andrew Fitch:
 
Question: From the very beginning, you talked about the campaign as a listening experience, and this week you're continuing that with the bike tour …
 
Andrew Fitch: Knocking on doors that have never been knocked on before. … I was riding through, I believe it was Hinsdale coming into Windsor, and they started to yell at me, 'No!' And then the guy was like, 'Wait a second. That's Andrew Fitch.' They actually knew who I was, and they were actually wanting to chat with me.
