Fingers crossed!!!!

We're issuing a Storm Watch for Northeast ski areas starting Thursday the 21st and lasting approximately through Sunday the 24th with back end snow potentially lasting longer. Snowology Storm Watches are issued when we believe there is strong potential of 6" or more of snow across more than 5 Northeast ski areas.
‎
There is blocking near Greenland which is expected to cause this storm to stall out and meander in the Northeast for days which could cause focused snow on some areas as well as some lake effect snow, though that doesn't currently look to be an exceptional event. The expected meandering makes the impacts impossible to even reasonably pinpoint at this range but it is likely that this will be primarily an elevation storm impacting mostly higher terrain with the heaviest snow expected in parts of NY, VT, and maybe W-MA.
‎
The deterministic GFS model presently shows the potential of 3' of snow around Southern Vermont and the Berkshires, however we have our doubts about both focus and intensity so be wary of those sharing snowfall maps at this range as they will change. The ECMWF sees much lower accumulations currently. We however expect that many mountains from West Virginia through Maine are likely to receive 6" or more from this system, and there is potential for a prolific back end lasting many days in parts of the ADK's and Northern Greens.
‎
We of course realize that few ski areas and very little terrain will be open, and it will take at least 15" of snow at 10:1 ratios to open natural trails for rock skis. That is possible with this system in some limited cases, but in the very least it should give a much needed boost to snowpack as ski areas work to try to open sufficient terrain for the Thanksgiving weekend. Cold air should follow behind this storm allowing snowmaking to come back online just before Thanksgiving. It's going to be tight for those looking to open for the holiday weekend no doubt.
‎
We'll start tracking this storm Monday morning with daily Storm Updates so remember to follow Snowology to the pow!

A little about our home:

Newly listed as a rental in Spring 2018! Bright and airy, cathedral ceiling, Post & Beam home situated in the heart of the Berkshires, minutes from Tanglewood, Berkshire Theatre, The Appalachian Trail, Butternut, Great Barrington, antiquing and shopping, and the world’s best muffins at Cakewalk Café. 3 minutes to Lee town center, 7 minutes to the Lee outlets, and 7 minutes to both Stockbridge and Lenox. With 4 bedrooms and a Bunk Room, the house can sleep 12 people in beds, and 14 including a pullout sofa bed.

Description

From the moment you walk in to a wall of westerly facing windows full of afternoon sun and a great room with a 32ft ceiling, it is relax time. Comfortably furnished and well appointed with all the touches of home, you have multiple ways to relax indoors or out. You can flop down on either of the overstuffed club chairs or couch and put your feet up on an ottoman, go upstairs to the balcony and curl up with a book, retreat to your bedroom and take a nap on a firm but plush mattress, sit on the deck and watch as the sun dips into the trees, or clip wildflowers for the kitchen table or bedroom.

First floor:

The entire 1st floor is an open floor plan designed for family living and annual friend getaways, entertaining and free flow of movement. There is streaming natural light with a West-facing great room and dining area, hardwood floors in all the common areas and hallways, a floor-to-ceiling fireplace in the great room, and a walk thru kitchen with stainless steel LG, Bosch and Frigidaire appliances, gas range and granite countertops. The dining area has a large maple table that seats 8 (with 12 total spindle-back chairs for extra guests and an additional drop leaf table for big groups) and a breakfast bar that has three swivel stools. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor: a bunk room with 2 solid-wood, sturdy, twin bunk beds that sleep 4 (kids much more comfortably but absolutely can fit adults); and a queen room with a sleigh bed and a dressing table made by my grandfather. These bedrooms share a large full bathroom and there is a powder room down the hall. All of the bedrooms are carpeted.

Second floor:

When you climb the extra-wide staircase to the 2nd floor, you are treated to an overlook view of the great room, the soaring timber ceilings and a loft-style common area. You can relax on the sofa or in an overstuffed beanbag, challenge your housemate to a game of foosball on our full size table, listen to music via Alexa on Harmon Kardon speakers, or choose from any variety of puzzles and boardgames. On the north side of the house are two spacious bedrooms with a full bath between them. One bedroom has a queen sleigh bed with a west facing view over the large deck and backyard, and a true old-fashioned wicker rocking chair. The second bedroom has two twin beds with an easterly exposure looking out over the wildflower garden. On the entire South side of the house on the second floor is the master suite. This is a breathtaking room with a cathedral ceiling, a cozy sitting area furnished with club chairs and settee, an ensuite bathroom with double sinks and a gorgeous claw foot tub and a walk in closet with plenty of space.

Property:

2+ acres, well set back from the road, huge yard and back deck to play, grill, or sit around a fire pit
