Saturday Night Storm Expected to Drop 1-3 Inches Over County

Print Story | Email Story
*Update for Sunday afternoon from NWS: Snowfall rates may reach between one half and three quarters of an inch per hour by early afternoon in this area. This will increase the potential for hazardous travel conditions through early this afternoon, including snow covered roadways and poor visibilities.

Motorists are urged to use extra caution if traveling over the next few hours, as snowfall intensity increases.*

There is snow in the forecast for this Sunday, but it won't be much more than a couple inches.
 
Accuweather is calling the precipitation one of two "mini-storms" moving east from the midwest. The first isn't going to touch us but the second, arriving over Saturday night, will bring some snow.
 
"A general 1-3 inches of snow is in store over part of the interior Northeast from the storm," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson said.
 
The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., has issued a winter weather advisory for areas southwest of the Capital District and a hazardous weather outlook for much of centrel New York, the Berkshires and Southern Vermont. 
 
Accumulating snow through Sunday night could create hazardous conditions in some areas and an updated winter weather advisory could be issued between Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. 
 
Our friends at Greylock Snow Day is predicting 3 to 4 inches for the Berkshires using the North American climate model, which could mean a few inches on the ground Monday morning. It could mean a messy commute and school delays, but GSD says don't bet on a snow day. 
 
Accuweather says higher elevations, including the Berkshire range, could get 3 to 6 inches by Monday morning. Meteorologists are keeping an eye on what Accuweather calls a "monster storm" in the Midwest this week that could bring rain, snow and ice to the Northeast.

Mass MoCA Commission Approves Mental Health Practices as Tenants

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Mass MoCA Commission on Thursday approved three new tenants for Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. 
 
Kimma Stark, project manager at the museum, gave the commission the rundown on each of the new tenants. 
 
Eric Beeman is a licensed mental health counselor who uses art in his therapy. He holds a master's degree in expressive arts and arts therapy from Lesley University, where he's also taught graduate-level practices and principles of expressive art therapy.
 
He integrates creative arts based interventions into his clinical work including drawing painting, poetry, writing, brief drama and roleplay, movement and sound. Beeman works one-on-one and with small groups and said he mostly works with adults. 
 
He will be operating as Berkshires Expressive Arts Therapy on the third floor of Building 1. 
 
Beeman said Stark has been very helpful. "It's different than just renting a space and she's been very helpful and personable and accessible," he said. 
 
Mary Wilkes, a licensed clinical social worker and therapist, works with individuals with severe mental illness, with attachment and relationship issues and needing support navigating major life transitions. She works with teenagers, college and students and adults.
