Significant Snowstorm to Usher in More Cold Temps| 11:47AM / Monday, January 28, 2019 | |
 First it snowed. Then it got warm. Then it rained a lot. Then it got cold. And now it's going to snow again — likely a significant amount, especially in the northern Berkshires.

The Weather Service is calling for 6 to 12 inches of total snow accumulations. AccuWeather is predicting a couple inches Tuesday afternoon and evening with an additional 3 to 6 inches

On Monday, there would only be one and there was a little apprehension about this new chapter for both of them. "It's a little scary," said City Clerk Marilyn Gomeau on Thursday as she wrapped up her career at City Hall. "I think it's going to be good. ...
