The Natural Phenomenon In Massachusetts That Happens During Winter

The winters in Massachusetts typically bring heavy snow, bone-chilling winds, and fierce temperatures that can make you want to bundle up and never leave the house. However, if you’re brave enough to venture outdoors, you might have the chance to see an enchanting natural phenomenon that only happens during the winter.

Massachusetts has plenty of waterfalls that make for great destinations any time of year.
