Here's When Berkshire Residents Can Expect the First Frost

Those of us that live or spend any time in the Berkshires know that Berkshire County weather can be very fickle. On a fall day for example it could be 70 degrees outside and then the next day it could be 50 or 40. You never really know when you should put your summer clothing away which also holds true for winter clothing during the spring season.

Berkshire County Tends to Get a Variety of Weather All on the Same Day

In addition to the changing temperatures, Berkshire County residents sometimes experience sun, rain, and snow all on the same day. Yeah, mother nature really knows how to play tricks on us and keep Berkshire residents and visitors on their toes. There are times you'll need boots, sunglasses, sunscreen, and an umbrella on the same day. This just sounds exhausting...lol.
