REMEMBER... Ice is NEVER 100% safe!!!
Recommended ice thickness for fishing or skating is a minimum of 4 inches.

With the fluctuating temperatures we have been experiencing around our area, the water has not had a chance to freeze solid without periods of melting. Areas where someone may have drilled a hole to fish have not had a chance to freeze back to a safe thickness and can be hard to see when on the ice.

Check with your local authorities first before driving out on ice. Most of western mass ice is too thin to support vehicles with the recent warmer temperatures

The Pittsfield Fire Department arrived at Pontoosuc Lake after responding to reports of a motor vehicle falling through the ice.

Two weather alerts today.

Wind advisory - 3pm today to 1am Thursday

Sustained Winds of 15-30mph, gusts 55-+. Some models have wind gusts up near 80 but I think that will be more localized out towards the Cape.

Flood Watch - 1pm today through Thursday morning

2-3” of rain, localized 4+ likely.

Jist of the next 24 hours, wet and windy AND temperatures near 60!

Certainly not December weather but I’m ok with that!

Hold onto your hats!
