What is there to do in Rhode Island in winter?

Nobody for Classical music at the VETS? Also, have heard there is decent chamber music about town, but haven't experienced it myself.

Another option: How about...Performing Arts! Trinity Repertory Theater. Gamm Theater. Stuff showing up at PPAC.

My wintertime activity right now? Dreaming about going outside for more than 15 minutes at a time, and not lifting a snow shovel! I can't imagine being in Boston this year. They got hit much worse than us!

Wow, I was just telling someone how 9-10 months out of the year it is great here -- we have one month of snow and now it is doom and gloom and nothing goes on in RI?
Get some snowshoes and go for a hike, go to a rock climbing place and get ready for the summer, go to the RISD art museum, go snow tubing at Yawgoo - the hill is too flat for skiing, but snow tubing there is a blast!
Whatever you decide, remember, it is only for a month or two - then get your muk luks ready to get outside this spring when everything blooms again!

Rock climbing is a good, new suggestion. Where?

As for the "doom and gloom": this year seems to be a bit of an outlier, being colder and snowier than normal. My previous post was motivated by a need to warm up my frozen fingers after shoveling my sidewalk for the umpteenth time.
