Berkshire County is Getting Snow This Weekend? How Much?
Berkshire County received a fairly big snowstorm a couple of weekends ago. It took some towns and cities across the county, including Pittsfield, Great Barrington, and others, a few days to completely dig out of the big blast of snow. Last weekend, the Berkshires luckily dodged another storm that was mainly a coastal one in Massachusetts. Did we really want or need two weekends of digging out?
