    Relocation to Providence, Rhode Island?
    Question:
    My husband and I are currently considering a possibley relocation to the Providence, Rhode Island area. Anyone, who can shed some light on the following would be greatly appreciated: What areas around Providence would afford 1.) The quintisential New England village environment. 2.) Close to some good dining 3.) Close to the water. 4) Close to Providence - we are considering the Barrington area but looks pretty pricey. Also, can someone please confirm or dispell what we are being told about winters in Providence. That being "snowfall is not as bad as being inland, Two to three inches at time. Doesn't stay on the ground that long because of the close proximity to the ocean. Snowfall doesn't really get bad until the end of December. Janary and February are the worst." All of this with the caveat of "You can occaisionally get slammed with a horrible Noreastern from time to tome." We are trying to get an honest answer to these questions. Many Thanks, Deborah

    Answer:
    Rumford is part of East Providence and has some nice neighborhoods. There's a great bike trail that goes from Rumford all the way to Bristol. Rumford has easy access to Providence. You're right about the snow. You don't need to go too far inland to get more snow...everybody knows the common refrain on the school closing announcements..."no school Foster-Gloucester"...means that those towns always get a lot more snow than those who live close to the water.
