Berkshire County is an interesting place in Massachusetts when it comes to weather. You may have heard the classic quote, "If you don't like the weather in the Berkshires, just wait 10 minutes." Of course, that quote derived from the fact that it can be warm, sunny, rainy, and cold all in a matter of hours in our beloved county.

One thing about the Berkshires we can usually count on is snow and cold temperatures. Surprisingly, we haven't received any Nor'easters at this point for this winter. So far, we have received some nuisance-type snowfall, a few inches here and there, as well as a little more significant snowfall a few weeks back, and of course, a recent ice storm. There have been several days and nights throughout the Berkshires during the 2025/2026 winter season when we have experienced some downright frigid temps. Some milder temperatures are welcome anytime.
