The Blizzard known as Juno is bearing down on Rhode Island and Southern New England as we speak. Governor Raimondo has instituted a travel ban in the state, as have Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy and Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker. 

There will be no mail delivery today, and all public and private schools have cancelled classes.  All of Rhode Island’s colleges and universities have cancelled classes and activities today as well. RIPTA and the MBTA are not running.

Over 7000 flights have been cancelled along the east coast, and although TF Green Airport hasn’t officially closed, all flights since last night at 5:25pm have been cancelled.
