Little snow in the Berkshires, still headaches

PITTSFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - Berkshire County didn't get as much snow as some of the other parts of the state, but it was still enough to cause a few headaches.

It was anything but a relaxing Saturday morning.

Pittsfield residents woke up having to dig out before they could think about doing anything else.

Robert Turoczy of Adams told 22News,”I'm not happy, especially knowing I had to come out here you know, but it's not too bad.”

Mother Nature dumped about a foot of snow on Pittsfield and even more in surrounding communities.

Even after the snow stopped falling, snow shovelers and snow blowers quickly learned they had more to contend with, the wind.

David Dinicola of Dalton told 22News,”All of us, we just meet here and we just go at it until its done. Then in the morning there will be snow drifts so we'll do it all again.”

As sidewalks were plowed, local restaurants started opening - giving many a much needed relief from the cold.

“We were discussing it because we really wanted food. We didn't know if it's be open, but we decided to call and then they were so it worked out for us!” Said Jerry McClellan of Pittsfield.

This February Nor'easter slowed a few people down and gave others something to wish for..

 “I hate it, I'm waiting for April. I want all this snow to melt and go away,” Ron Carter told 22News.
