How Much Snow East Providence Got During Sunday's Winter Storm

EAST PROVIDENCE, RI — While we were all inside watching the Super Bowl Sunday night, a winter storm hit East Providence and the rest of Rhode Island. It ended up being surprisingly potent, dumping much more snow than initially projected.

Most forecasts called for 6 inches of snow at most, but most Rhode Island communities, including East Providence, far exceeded that.

The snow also forced East Providence Public Schools to cancel school Monday.

Although the National Weather Service, did not show a measurement for the city, it did provide data for other Providence County Communities.

Here's how much snow different communities across the county got:

• Greenville — 10.8 inches
• Cranston — 10.5 inches
• North Smithfield — 10.4 inches
• Harrisville — 10.4 inches
• Providence — 10.1 inches
• Burrillville — 10 inches
• Smithfield — 10 inches
• Central Falls — 9.3 inches
• East Cumberland — 9 inches
• Lincoln — 9 inches
• North Pawtucket — 8 inches

Greenville got the most snow in Rhode Island with 10.8 inches.

Unless there's a drastic change, this could be the last significant snowfall for a while. The weekly forecast from the National Weather Service shows a gradual warming trend toward Presidents' Day Weekend — with a return to a high of 55 degrees on Thursday, and temperatures staying well above freezing after.
