Rhode Island Snow Facts
The Blizzard of '78 remains Rhode Island's most significant winter storm, dropping over 28 inches of snow in Providence
Rhode Island's small size means winter storms often affect the entire state simultaneously, leading to coordinated statewide school closures
The state's position on Narragansett Bay can turn coastal snowstorms into mixed precipitation events, making predictions challenging
Despite being the smallest state, Rhode Island has significant variations in snowfall between its northern and coastal regions
