Area Introduction

The one constant with the weather in Massachusetts is that it’s always changing. The snow and cold of winter (December-February) comes as a shock to many of our students, especially those from warmer climates. However, there is a certain charm that wintry days bring. Skiing, hot chocolate and a warm fire are just a few. Spring weather with a mix of warm sunshine and rain ensures a colourful garden and makes people look forward to the outdoor activities in the summer. By late summer and early autumn, the sun is shining, the leaves are still on the trees and the temperature could not be more comfortable.
