Berkshire County Was Spared from What Was Originally Supposed to Be a Bigger Storm

While Berkshire County received a decent amount of snow on Monday, the snow totals turned out to be less than expected. That’s because the center of the storm was on a track farther east and south than forecasters, including the National Weather Service, initially predicted.

Still, residents had to spend time digging out while others are currently getting their driveways cleaned up. Parking restrictions were enacted in many areas throughout the Berkshires so plow trucks could get the streets cleaned up for safe travel.
