One of Rhode Island s biggest snow events of the season came on Dec. 16 and 17, bringing almost 8 inches. The same storm dropped two or more feet of snow from central New York through central New Hampshire, according to Leconto.
Rhode Island can thank the relatively warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Narragansett Bay for keeping the region on the mild side, especially early in the winter, according to Leconto.
Riding into December on a record run of 70-degree days, the winter started out mild, Loconto noted. December 1 was the warmest day of meteorological winter at 64 degrees. December, January and February were all warmer than normal.
