Providence Buried Under Historic Snowstorm: City Fights Back
A powerful winter storm dumped over 3 feet of snow in Providence, Rhode Island, paralyzing the city. Crews work around the clock to clear roads and restore power as residents brace for more harsh weather.
Providence, Rhode Island was brought to a standstill this week as a massive winter storm blanketed the city with over 3 feet of snow, shattering local records and overwhelming the city's infrastructure. The historic snowfall brought Providence to a near-complete halt, with roads impassable, public transportation suspended, and thousands left without power.
Crews from the Rhode Island Department of Transportation and local public works departments have been working around the clock to clear the snow-clogged streets, but the sheer volume has proven to be an immense challenge. Plows and shovels have been in constant use, but the snow continues to accumulate faster than it can be removed.
