Potentially 'Historic' Blizzard Expected to Dump 1-2 Feet of Snow
North Kingstown could see almost two feet of snow with Winter Storm Nemo.
If you've been talking about what a calm winter we've had, you've spoken too soon. Just a couple days after the 35th anniversary of the Blizzard of '78, New England is expected to get a blizzard this weekend.
The National Weather Service has issued a blizzard watch for Rhode Island, calling this a potentially "historic winter storm and blizzard." Forecasters are projecting Rhode Island to get anywhere between 18 to 24 inches of snow on Friday, starting in the morning.
We could see snow falling at 3-to-4 inches per hour and wind gusts of more than 20 miles per hour in the evening. Very strong winds are expected during the height of the storm, making travel "nearly impossible" with blowing and drifting snow. Whiteout conditions may be possible.
