My hometown, although I haven't lived there since 1982 and my parents moved full-time to Rhode Island in the late 1990s. It will, however, always hold a place in the heart. Sorry for being off topic.

Does this mean that RI gets Jim Cantore on the thundersnow beat?

South Kingstown/Peace Dale here. My shoulders and back will trade you QPF. :-)

Snow started here in coastal Rhode Island just before 10:00 AM. The generator has been run, the birds were fed early, the various shovels are propositioned, 2M/440Mhz handhelds charged, battery for HF ham radio charged. Hopefully everyone's efforts keep the power on but the snow falling. Enjoy the snow but be careful. I forgot to add that it is 11 degrees with a dew point of 7.5 degrees.

You can almost put a pin on my house on the line between 2-4" and 4-7" at the top of Point Judith Pond in South Kingstown, RI.

I'll sign a release allowing the heavier snow to move north.

Yikes! Is the Ocean Mist still standing?

And trees off of the house.

Hopefully no one has tulip trees.

While taking every at-bat to a 3-2 count.

When I was a Director of Administrative Services for an area school department, winds were a big issue when you had kids waiting at bus stops and a good possibility a school would lose power during the day. You'd rather cancel up front than have an early dismissal, especially with elementary school kids.

No, but I'm honored!

My generator is still in the shop. Any power outages in the South Kingstown-Narragansett area are clearly my fault. I do have the Coleman stove and lantern fueled up and a full tank of propane for the grill. I hope that supplicates the weather gods.

To anyone who is superstitious, the pull cable on my generator broke when doing a test start earlier today and my ongoing repair efforts have failed. The odds of losing power in South Kingstown, RI just increased 200%. At least my mother's generator started right up.
