Snow is expected today across Rhode Island
To share your snow pictures, click here! Winter weather is on its way! Although some parts of Rhode Island are bracing for up to seven inches of snow Saturday, less than a half inch of accumulation is expected during the day in Middletown, according to the National Weather Service. Snow is expected after 4 p.m. and then it will probably mix with rain after 5 p.m. After midnight, however, the precipitation could change back to snow, which could leave the ground coated with two to four inches of fresh snow. Little or no snow accumulation expected tomorrow. How much accumulation will we get? Take a guess!
