You just have to get used to the cold, dress appropriately, and go out walking anyway. If you stay near the coast (and actually for a lot of RI), you won't have to contend with snow all the time during the winter. We have some snow but often it only lasts for a period of time. I find each winter to be different in terms of snow- some times it's hardly a factor- other years it is. I like to visit the ocean in winter.
Of course, most people here spend more time indoors in winter in the same way people in hot climes spend more time indoors in the summer. When I lived in Texas, there were days I couldn't go out at all- way too hot for me. I find if it's in the teens or below here then it's too cold for me and I tend to hibernate a little more.
PS We're supposed to hit 60 degrees again this Wed Nov 27th
