CRANSTON, RI — Much of Rhode Island saw less snow accumulation that initially forecast Monday into Tuesday, though parts of the state saw a foot or more. The heavy, wet snow made for dangerous road conditions across the state, and many school districts opted to continue with all-distance learning on Tuesday.

The National Weather Service did not have a snow report for Cranston, but Providence County generally saw lower accumulations than other areas of the state. In Providence, 7.3 inches of snow was reported just before midnight Monday night.

Cranston's parking ban is still in place until further notice, and all students are learning from home Tuesday. Trash pickup is continuing on a regular schedule, with no weather-related delay.
