Forecast Outlook - Friday 19 February
We're ending the holiday week with some powder through the day Friday. The Berkshires and Catskills will do a little better than their northern cousins but everyone will have a nice fresh coat of snow through the day and into the evening.
Bundle up on Saturday, it'll be pretty cold with a northwest wind not helping that cause. Sunday will be the better of the two days with more sunshine and less wind.
A little more snow shows up Monday but at least for now, no big storms are in the forecast.
**Always a good idea to call ahead to your mountain of choice to verify their conditions and status**
