We’re number 8! We’re number 8!

You have heard the term “historic storm” a lot over the past few days. The blizzard of 2013 certainly was historic and will be remembered for a long time. For you snow geeks (like me), below is a graphic of how the snow numbers break down at TF Green airport. We made #8 of all time!
Obviously, this TF Green number is much less then what most of us picked up. However, that’s where the records are officially kept and there is not much we can do about it. Ha ha. I laugh because there are constant complaints that the airport is “stingy” with their snow measurements. I did not go out there and measure it myself so I will go by their word on this matter. I measured 16.0 inches here at the station in East Providence so the TF Green number doesn’t seem that unrealistic.
Stay safe and hopefully the power comes back on soon for those of you still stuck without power. -Pete Mangione
Attention Buddy Cianci, will you show Al Fung how to handle a snow storm…..
I live in Warwick and all of the side streets are poorly plowed, many with one lane. I would like to know how busses are going to pick up children at their bus stops safely. The students will be walking and standing in the middle of the road because there is not enough time for all residents to clear their side walks. The superintendent needs to make a safety call for the young children. Let’s not forget that the morning commute is suppose to be rain, sllet and snow, so floding is a possibility. many high school students drive to school and we are putting them at risk. Please do not say that the roads are passable for transportation in Warwick.
Gina it’s starting to become very clear these Mayors are just being bold face liars to the media, and hoping the average person will drink the kool-aid…… The streets are a mess …..
Mayor Fung, can you get to these streets before July….
