More Snow, Sleet Expected Wednesday Night

Print Story | Email Story
Here we go again. 
 
This winter's constant onslaught of cold and precipitation continues with more sleet and snow expected overnight on Wednesday. 
 
The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., has issued a winter storm advisory beginning at 7 p.m. on Wednesday through 1 p.m. on Thursday. 
 
The forecast is for mixed precipitation with total snow and sleet accumulations between 1 and 4 inches, the higher end likely in Southern Vermont,  and ice accumulations up to 2/10 of an inch. Winds will be gusting as high as 35 mph.
 
This effects all of the Berkshires, Southern Vermont, eastern New York and northwest Connecticut. So plan on slippery road conditions for Thursday's commute. 
 
Our friends at Greylock Snow Day are predicting greater confidence in a delay rather than a snow day for schools. 
 
Some school districts are already scheduling extra days in June so are hesitant to cancel school altogether. Delays had been expected for last Thursday's storm but forecast had superintendents canceling the evening before as a precaution. 
 
A "train of storms" will run cross country over the next week or so, bringing snow to New England every two to three days. 
 
Friday is expected to be bright and sunny and cold but more snow flurries are expected over the weekend, and more frigid temperatures will return for Presidents Day.
 

The pattern across the United States that began this train of storms last week will remain in place for much of this week. This will continue to support storms being near New England every 2-3 days. Details: #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx #NHwx #MEwx #VTwx www.newenglandstormcenter.com/post/pattern...

SteepleCats Swept at Home

By Ben McDonoughFor iBerkshires.com Sports
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. -- The North Adams SteepleCats matched the North Shore Navigators through the opening three innings Sunday evening, but a four-run fourth inning proved to be the difference as the Navigators earned a 6-2 victory and a double-header sweep at Joe Wolfe Field.
 
North Shore won Game One of the double-header, 4-2, following a shutout win over the 'Cats on Saturday night.
 
In Sunday's nightcap, North Adams received a strong start from Garrett Gates and solid relief work throughout the evening, but the SteepleCats were unable to overcome North Shore’s decisive offensive outburst in the middle innings.
 
Gates set the tone from the outset, retiring the Navigators in order in the first inning on a pair of groundouts and a pop out. The right-hander continued to keep North Shore off the scoreboard over the next two frames, working efficiently while allowing his defense to make plays behind him.
 
The SteepleCats had opportunities to strike first.
 
Jake Butler drew a walk in the opening inning before Sebastian Rhoades reached base and advanced into scoring position with a stolen base. North Adams again threatened in the second when Colsen Loughren lined a one-out double, but North Shore starter John Milewski worked out of trouble to keep the game scoreless.
 
Neither team found much offensive rhythm through the first three innings as both pitching staffs controlled the pace. Gates retired the side in order in the third, while the SteepleCats continued searching for the timely hit that could break the deadlock.
