Except for the fact that all of the Acela trains have been grounded indefinitely due to structural problems on the cars
That leaves you with regular Amtrak, and they don't run well during T-storms either---antiquated signals coming out of the east side tunnels into Sunnyside, complements of the Wrong Island Railroad.
And you definitely do not want to be driving there in any kind of bad weather
The most hassle-free way to get from Providence to NYC? Believe it or not---fly Southwest from TF Green into Islip-MacArthur, free shuttle bus to the Ronkonkoma LIRR station, and 45 minutes to midtown. Not sure what Southwest charges now, but when it was $49, you could get here cheaper and faster that way than by taking Amtrak.
