Charles Shaw Sr., with Rambone Brothers, mixes salt with sand at the Rhode Island Department of Transportation salt barn, off Route 37 in Warwick, where trucks load up before heading out to treat the roads during today's predicted storm.

The first few bands of snow have begun to arrive on local radar, and by the 2 o'clock hour the flakes could come, too. Temperatures are right around 31, with northeast winds around 10 mph with gusts up to 25 mph.

The storm is expected to dump about a foot of snow, with the heaviest coming around 6 p.m.
