episode_narrativeA strong low pressure system moved from Tennessee to the Virginia coast and then northeast off the New Jersey coast, passing southeast of Cape Cod. This system produced heavy snow across the central and northern part of the state. Some snowfall totals, which included light snow which fell into the early morning hours on the 4th included: Woonsocket, 12.0 inches; Johnston, 11.0 inches; Coventry, 9.5 inches; Warwick, 7.3 inches; Middletown, 3.0 inches; and Block Island, 2.0 inches. Most schools and some businesses were closed on the 3rd. The morning commute on the 3rd was a difficult one when snow fell at the rate of 0.5 to 2.0 inches per hour.
