13 reasons why you should NOT move to the Berkshires, Western Massachusetts 

I grew up in Lenox and I always thought about retiring to the Berkshires but my wife and I travel a lot in retirement and not having access to a major airport was a big factor in deciding against the Berkshires. As to harsh winters, since I’m much older than you I can tell you that the winters are very much milder now than 50 years ago. To me the biggest downside now is that there’s a lot less snow which means the skiing is worse and less cold so it’s harder to make snow.

Very well done!

Born and bred in Western Massachusetts. I have spent much time in this beautiful area. Great hiking! If Massachusetts wasn't so woke, I'd move back.

I live in the pioneer Valley so know the Berkshires well. In regard to number 11, the weather, I would say even in the summer you can experience periods of rather cool rainy weather.
