| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A low pressure system moved from North Carolina northeastward to just southeast of New England and brought yet another heavy snowstorm to northern and central Rhode Island. Only a few inches accumulated across the south, where the precipitation was mostly rain and sleet. Light freezing rain and drizzle occurred on March 6th and early on March 7th before significant snow accumulation began. A thin coating of glaze resulted in very icy roads. Numerous minor skidding accidents occurred. Some snowfall totals from this storm included: North Foster, 7.6 inches; Cumberland, 7.5 inches. There was also a total of 7.5 inches in West Warwick, where the seasonal total reached a record 98 inches. |
