Kingston emerges as the unofficial leader in Rhode Island's snowfall, reporting 13 inches as of 6 a.m., per National Weather Service data. Narragansett trails closely with a foot of snow, while West Warwick and Portsmouth register 8 and 7 inches, respectively. These measurements, updated hourly, reflect early storm impacts but may shift before the Nor’easter concludes.

Glocster and Pawtucket both report 11 inches, with Glocester’s data timestamped at 5:30 a.m. and Pawtucket’s at 6:10 a.m., highlighting the variability in reporting times. Central Falls records 6.3 inches, and Richmond holds 9 inches as of 3:50 a.m. The weather service cautions that final totals will depend on the storm’s duration and intensity, urging residents to monitor updates.

The Nor’easter, which has already disrupted travel and commerce, is expected to deliver 12–18 inches statewide, according to meteorologists. This aligns with historical averages for the region, though localized variations—like Kingston’s lead—underscore the unpredictability of coastal snowfall patterns. Businesses and schools in affected areas remain on alert for closures.

Snow jackpot competition intensifies as towns track accumulations, with Narragansett’s 12.5 inches and Pawtucket’s 11 inches keeping the race tight. Officials warn of icy roads and power outages, emphasizing preparedness. The storm’s economic ripple effects—from delayed shipments to increased heating demand—will likely dominate headlines in the coming days.
