Rain & Snow Mix this Weekend in the Berkshires

No major snow accumulation in the forecast this weekend in the Berkshires but we will get enough of a rain/snow mix all both Saturday and Sunday to give the sun the weekend off. Temps may reach 40 degrees on Saturday and we could experience wind gusts up to 30 mph. Sunday has the better chance of actual snow accumulation of a couple of inches by the end of the day.

The weather outside will be a great excuse to kickback, pull out the crockpot and enjoy a weekend filled with great sports action. The NFL playoffs continue with the Rams/Packers and Ravens/Bills on Saturday and the Browns/Chiefs and Tom Brady and the Buccaneers/Saints on Sunday. Don’t forget about the B’s and C’s! The Bruins second game of the season is Saturday at 1pm and the Celtics host the Knicks Sunday afternoon at 1pm. Below is the long-range forecast for the Berkshires this weekend…
