| Event narrativeevent_narrative | On March 31 and April 1, a classic late season nor'easter tracked from the Chesapeake Bay area northeast to central coastal New Jersey then slowly out to sea. This system produced rain across Berkshire County during the morning hours of March 31. The rain changed to heavy wet snow by early afternoon. Snowfall amounts were highly elevation dependent with up to 30 inches in the highest peaks of the Berkshires. Some specific snowfall totals included: 8 inches at Great Barrington, 12 inches at North Adams, 23 inches at Dalton, 21 inches at Monterey and 20 inches at Lenoxdale. The wet snow brought down many trees and power lines causing widespread power outages and road closures. Some areas remained without power for several days. See the March 1997 Storm Data report for damage amounts. |
