Print Story | Email Story
Sunday's downpours could well turn to snow before dawn on Monday. 
 
The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., has issued a winter weather advisory for most of Berkshire County through 1 p.m. on Monday. 
 
The higher elevations could get 3 to 8 inches and wind gusts of up to 40 mph — with the possibility of a thunderstorm before 4 a.m.!
 
The morning commute could be a slushy and slippery mess with reduced visibility. Precipitation Monday morning could be heavy with rain or wet snow. 
 
Heavy wet snow could also mean downed tree limbs and power lines causing power outages. 
 
The conditions will be worse to the north. Parts of Southern Vermont — including Bennington, Pownal, Readsboro and Stamford are under a winter storm warning. The region could get up to 10 inches of heavy wet snow overnight leading to hazardous conditions in the morning. 
 
Greylock Snow Day was predicting "the full gamut tomorrow — snow days, delays, and full school days" with the highest probability of a full snow day for Berkshire schools on the west side of the county. It expected to update later on Sunday.

Two-Car Crash Closes Church Street

Staff Reports
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A collision between two vehicles shut down a section of Church Street on Wednesday afternoon, followed shortly afterward by a three-car accident near Specialty Minerals in Adams. 
 
The North Adams crash occurred shortly after 3:30 p.m. when a GMC Denali pickup apparently collided with a Subaru Crosstrek attempting to exit from south driveway at Southview Cemetery. 
 
The truck incurred extensive front end damage and the Crosstrek damage on the front driver's side. Scanner reports initially referred to someone having a broken arm but no one was taken to the hospital. 
 
Church Street was closed between Drury High School's entrance and the skating rink for nearly an hour until tow trucks could take the vehicles away. Drivers either turned around or cut through Southview Cemetery and the skating rink parking lot. 
 
Traffic was also disrupted by the accident on the railroad tracks in Adams. No one was apparently injured in that collision either.
