April Storm Could Bring Snow, High Winds and Power Outages

Print Story | Email Story
We were hoping it was just an April fool or that it would go away if we ignored it. But it looks like we really are getting snow, sleet and rain over the next few days. 
 
The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., has issued a winter storm watch beginning Wednesday morning through Thursday night. 
 
North Berkshire and Southern Vermont could see up to 7 inches of snow and sleet and high winds gusting up to 60 mph. 
 
The NWS has "low to moderate" confidence in the snow accumulations but says travel could be difficult and strong winds and the heavy wet snow could mean downed tree branches and power lines. 
 
Accuweather says the nor'easter will bring 3 to 6 inches of snow for North Berkshire and 1 to 3 for Western Mass, but upwards of 2 feet for points north.
 
AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Joe Lundberg said this storm will have a harsher impact than the one in mid-March in terms of tree and power line damage because of the wet and heavy snow. 
 
The storm system will enter the region today with rain and precipitation isn't expected to end until Friday. The snow is expected to start overnight on Wednesday and through Thursday as the temperatures drop. Some predictions have the worst of the weather to our north but even so, expect at least rain and sleet and a cold spell into the weekend. 
 
Greylock Snow Day is predicting 2 to 6 inches of snow and a 45 percent chance of a snow day on Thursday.

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.
