Snow Totals For Portsmouth: Feb. 13

PORTSMOUTH, RI — Just a day after springlike warmth broke temperature records in Rhode Island, a Super Bowl Sunday storm blanketed the state in close to a foot of snow in some areas.

While snow was in the forecast for much of the week, it was initially expected to only be a dusting. The forecast was raised to up to six inches Sunday morning, though most communities saw far more.

Portsmouth had the highest accumulation in Newport County at 8.5 inches. The snow, which tapered off early Monday morning, prompted a one-hour delay for Portsmouth schools.

Also in Newport County, Little Compton had some of the lowest totals in the state at just over four inches. Greenville had the highest in that state, just under 11 inches.
