Jeff Brody tries to keep dry as he watches his daughter, Maeve Brody, play field hockey for Barrington High School. Rain wasn’t the only precipitation in Rhode Island Thursday. The first snowflakes fell in the state’s highest elevations in the northwest corner. The National Weather Service received reports confirming a light snowfall in the Foster/Glocester and Burrillville areas, said a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Taunton, Mass. And Stacey G. Swift, a weather observer for the National Weather Service, measured two-tenths of an inch of wet snow accumulation at his Glocester home.
