The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend. |

We are looking forward to another great year!”
The 2009 Figure Skating competition will take place at the Lansing Chapman Rink on the campus of Williams College in Williamstown, MA, and features both ISI and UFSF competition for males and females. In order to allow more athletes to participate in the USFS portion of the competition, the Bay State Games will be including both restricted and unrestricted events in most levels this year.
