Mark Twain once said of our weather, "Yes, one of the brightest gems in the New England weather is the dazzling uncertainty of it. There is only one thing certain about it: you are certain there is going to be plenty of it..."
Massachusetts, where NMH is located, has weather that varies with its four seasons. Summer is hot and humid, with temperatures reaching 80 or 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and this weather may last into August or early September.
In spring and fall the temperature averages between 50 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and you will need sweaters, sweatshirts, fleece jackets, and rainwear during these two seasons.
Winters can be very cold and snowy, averaging 28 degrees Fahrenheit, so jackets that can withstand temperatures below zero are necessary, as are snow boots, warm socks, gloves, and hats. Because they take up so much space in suitcases, these items can be purchased once students are here. The school offers buses and vans to local shopping areas.
