Snow removal in Providence, RI
Book local snow removal in Providence
Providence neighborhoods like College Hill and Federal Hill have steep streets, front steps and narrow sidewalks that are hard to keep clear after a wet storm. Many homes are multi-family houses with shared walks and limited off-street parking, so snow piles up fast along the curb. The city's 8-hour window means clearing the same day the snow stops.

What winter looks like in Providence
Providence's big snows usually come from nor'easters, and being close to Narragansett Bay means the line between rain and snow often runs right through the area. Coastal snow tends to be wet and heavy, while towns to the north and west often get more.
Typical snowfall. The official Providence-area station at T. F. Green Airport in Warwick averages about 37 inches of snow a season (36.6 inches, 1991-2020 normals). Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020 (annual/seasonal).
