The winter storm that was apparently hard for meteorologist to accurately predict was slated to bring several inches of snow, but this morning, Cranston had about a dusting to an inch of the white stuff.
Still, city officials are responding to the weather with the usual precautions. Cranston Police extended their parking ban to 3 p.m. And the forecast, according to the National Weather Service, calls for accumulation of less than one inch of snow today with skies clearing gradually tonight.
It looks like school is on as scheduled this morning. Some communities have delayed openings, but Cranston has not made any such call as of 5:50 a.m.
