16 Breathtaking Photos of Freshly Fallen Snow in the Berkshires

There's no doubt it's been a long winter here in Berkshire County and many of us are welcoming spring with warmer times to come. Whether you are tired of the snowfall in the Berkshires or you love it, nobody can deny that the fresh powder adds a layer of elegance and beauty to our already breathtaking natural landscapes throughout Berkshire County.

As you're aware, Berkshire County received another few inches of snow this past Wednesday. As I was taking care of my early morning tasks at our south county radio station (WSBS) early Thursday morning, I found myself just staring out my office window for a brief moment as I admired the trees in our back property. The snow was positioned so perfectly that the view looked like something that would be captured in a Thomas Kinkade painting. I definitely had a feeling of serenity as I was gazing out the window.

Knowing how I felt about the view, I thought that it would be fun to throw my boots on and take a trek through the station's backyard and capture the beauty on camera. The snow isn't going to stick around forever so why not seize the moment.

These photos were taken on Thursday morning behind the WSBS studios in Great Barrington. Hopefully, they give you the same sense of relaxation that I felt when taking them.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.

Stacker used data from the 2020 County Health Rankings to rank every state's average life expectancy from lowest to highest. The 2020 County Health Rankings values were calculated using mortality counts from the 2016-2018 National Center for Health Statistics. The U.S. Census 2019 American Community Survey and America's Health Rankings Senior Report 2019 data were also used to provide demographics on the senior population of each state and the state's rank on senior health care, respectively.
