What the National Weather Service wrote

Snowfall amounts were generally 7 to 9 inches. Winds gusted to 30 to 40 mph.

The wider storm

A mid level trough over the Appalachians produced a secondary surface low pressure near the mid-Atlantic coast. High pressure over Hudson Bay allowed low level cold air to stay in place initially. Western parts of the state received 8 to 12 inches of snow, but a coastal front kept accumulations down in eastern Rhode Island. This storm also produced strong winds.
