37.9 inches of snow… and the1731 farmhouse didn’t flinch ❄️

The Blizzard of 2026 dropped 37.9 inches of snow, breaking the all-time single-storm record set during the legendary Blizzard of 1978 (28.6 inches).And through it all, one house stood strong — just as it has for nearly three centuries.🏡

The Cole Farmhouse, built in 1731, has weathered colonial winters, revolutions, and countless New England storms. Nearly 295 years later, it’s still standing proudly in Providence — proving that some things really are built to last.

From record-breaking blizzards to sunny summer days, history lives here every day.
