Another storm moving through the region could mean up to a foot of snow over North Berkshire and the hilltowns through Monday.
The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., is forecasting anywhere from 2 to 8 inches across Berkshire County, eastern New York and Southern Vermont. Heavy bands of snow beginning around 4 p.m. are expected to drop 6 to 12 inches over Northern Berkshire.
Snowfall rates may reach a half inch up to one inch per hour at times this evening and tonight.
The NWS has issued a winter storm warning for Northern Berkshire and Southern Vermont and an advisory for Pittsfield south through Monday at 1 p.m.
Pittsfield declared a snow emergency Sunday morning: park on the even side of the street through Monday at 7 a.m. and the odd side from then through Tuesday at 7 a.m. McKay Street Parking Garage will be open for overnight parking.
Dalton has declared a snow emergency beginning at 5 p.m. Sunday and North Adams is reminding residents that there is no overnight parking on the street.
Greylock Snow Day is predicting a snow day Monday "highly likely" for school districts in North and Central Berkshire and a 50/50 chance of cancelation to likely delay for south of Pittsfield.
iBerkshires will post any delays and cancellations on the front page and in this article as they come in.
National Grid said its primary concerns are the mix of sleet and snow along with gusty winds. The wind gusts and accumulation of heavy snow have the potential to damage trees and knock down power
wires, causing power outages across the region.
The utility has positioned 491 field-based crews and more than 1,200 personnel to respond to outages or other damage.
Locations from Indiana, Michigan and Ohio to northwestern Pennsylvania, New York state and Maine stand the best chance of receiving all snow with this event: https://t.co/Gf6lTSwAqLpic.twitter.com/zV7MC7sruL

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.
