NEWPORT, RI — Much of Rhode Island saw less snow accumulation that initially forecast Monday into Tuesday, though parts of the state saw a foot or more. The heavy, wet snow made for dangerous road conditions across the state, and many school districts opted to continue with all-distance learning on Tuesday.
The National Weather Service did not have any official snow totals for Newport County, though coastal areas of Rhode Island saw less accumulation than more central parts of the state. Warren had 5.5 inches as of Monday night, while South Kingstown had a similar 5.4 inches just before midnight.
