Hudson in February
Not the best time
February is the cheapest month to visit Hudson, but for good reason. You'll have Warren Street practically to yourself, though half the shops might be closed.
Weather
February stays consistently cold with frequent snow showers. The Hudson River views are stark and beautiful, but wind off the water cuts right through you. Indoor weather dominates your plans.

All Months
May through June brings mild weather and blooming gardens without the summer crowds. September and October are peak season – the fall foliage along the Hudson River is spectacular, but expect higher prices and packed antique shops on weekends. Summer gets busy with city escapees, but the farmers market on Saturdays is worth braving the crowds. Winter can be harsh and many shops reduce their hours, though the town looks beautiful under snow. Avoid major holiday weekends unless you book months ahead – Hudson's limited hotel rooms fill up fast during peak times.
