Does anything in winter compare to those first moments when we wake up on a snowy morning and glance out of the window to see how much snow fell overnight? Those few moments, before the reality of having to shovel out, are simply magical. If we’re lucky, we might even have the day to go outdoors and enjoy the snowy landscape. When you’ve got some free time on the next snowy day, make your way to the cozy town of Cumberland, Rhode Island.
