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.

North County Welcomes New Veterans Agent
By Jack GuerinoiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The city has appointed Kurtis Durocher as its new veterans agent, and he hopes to connect with as many veterans as possible.
"I have been deployed five times, and so I can speak on that level. I can speak on the disability level. I can speak on many levels that these guys coming in here can relate to," he said. "Whether it's the vent or just to let somebody hear their voice. I definitely gravitate towards that, and I let them know that I have been in their shoes."
Durocher, a retired master sergeant with 20 years of military experience, assumed the role in February, succeeding former agent Mitchell Keil. He was most recently director of learning and employee development at BFAIR.
His military career includes multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan and his decorations include the Purple Heart and bronze star medals among others.
"I joined the Army in 2001. My first day was actually the day the towers fell," he said. "So I did 20 years as an infantryman and retired as a master sergeant in 2021."
Durocher, originally from Williamstown, said he has settled into the position but is still learning. He said he is familiar with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs system.
"I understand the VA portion of it really well, Chapter 115," he said. "So it's just kind of one of those muscle memory, repetitive things. I love it. It's great. It's kind of what I wanted to do when I got out so it's perfect."
