Hickory Hill golf course offers picturesque views after a snowfall.
History didn’t exactly repeat itself.
Last year, on Saturday, Jan. 19, there was snow, sleet and freezing rain late that night into Sunday with strong winds and 10 inches accumulation of snow and sleet.
This year, the first snowstorm also arrived around the same time, Saturday, Jan. 18, but by late that night, only a few inches of fresh snow had accumulated in Warwick.
Nevertheless there were hazardous road conditions but, according to the Warwick Police, only a few fender benders and no serious accidents.
However, the storm did usher in very low temperatures in what had previously been a mild January with even some unusual spring like days.
