If you are in Newport, you will see a lot less snow overall year to year. Near the water, you can expect warmer temps into fall (and later leaf changes) due to the relatively warmer water. In the spring, inland will see far warmer temps in early spring than Newport due to the cold (relatively) water.

Towns like Newport and Narragansett typically are affected more by what storms they get. We are in Northern RI and our town has 3 or 4 highway snow plows. I think the south coast of RI towns have a few pickups with a plow. Big difference. The Worcester MA "snow belt" extends down to Smithfield RI or so...this is where the big snow is in Southern NE.

West PVD is the crappy part...basically everything surrounding Classical High down to Olneyville (Excluding Federal Hill). I didn't make the rules so please don't shoot the messenger.

Crap, I think this implies that not all of PVD is crappy. I didn't mean to do that. Like cell phone companies, they all suck, just some suck less.

True story today...driving 95 North by Roger Williams.

My wife: "Wow, look at all the beautiful lights at the zoo"

Me: "we should go before Christmas"

My wife: "wait, look at the line of cars in the parking lot"

Me: "fuck that, people ruin all the good stuff"

My wife: "guess we aren't going"

My neighbor is the single reason I want all Harley owners to die. Likes to start it at 2am to move it 5 feet into the garage. LOVES to rev it up his driveway after midnight as well.

I do thank you u/jimmygreen717 for your courtesy...some of us appreciate it!

Best pizza in the state? Fellini's

Best bakery made pizza? Depetrillo's

Newport Restaurant Group - any of their places are a consistently great experience for both food and service.

Lucky Dog Tavern is my current favorite if you can score reservations

Had dinner this evening at CAV in Providence. Amazing food, service, and a very unique atmosphere!

Hot wieners? NY System but Olneyville NYS is still tops.
