Weather forecast:
• RI property tax hikes this year were largest in a decade. Here's why (newportri.com) — Woonsocket homeowners and landlords face one of the state’s steepest property tax hikes this year, with the city approved to raise its levy about 5.5% above the usual 4% cap. A new report explains how expiring federal COVID aid and big school construction debts are driving increases statewide, and why more of the burden is falling on commercial properties and apartment buildings.
• The most extreme temperature ever recorded in every US state, based on data (fox21online.com) — Woonsocket holds Rhode Island’s record for the most snow in a single day, with 30 inches falling there during the legendary Blizzard of 1978. This national roundup of weather extremes lists each state’s hottest, coldest, wettest, and snowiest 24-hour records, putting Woonsocket alongside some of the most dramatic weather moments in U.S. history.
