Snow on the Way; Preview for Southern Vermont on WednesdayStaff Reports,
07:41PM / Wednesday, January 15, 2020 | |

That looks to end this weekend as a major storm system leaves a mess across the nation and shifts into New England and temperature begin to dip. But before we get to Friday night we have to get through Wednesday. A storm moving to the north should miss most of the South Berkshire on Wednesday night but with a winter weather advisory posted 1 Comment
