| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A low pressure system developing off the Delaware coast moved to the northeast and intensified rapidly, passing southeast of Cape Cod. This storm brought a surprise heavy snowfall to northern Rhode Island. Heavy snowfall was a surprise to everyone including weather forecasters. Despite some slick driving and early school dismissals, there was little disruption to many local communities. However, in the Woonsocket-Cumberland area there were dozens of auto accidents. The maximum snowfall total was 14 inches at Burrillville in the northwest corner of the state. Other totals included: Cumberland, 7.8 inches; Woonsocket, 7.5 inches; and North Foster, 6 inches. The rest of the state had 1 to 4 inches, except less than an inch fell along the coast. |
