Winter Storm

Low pressure tracked northeast from the southern Plains into the Ohio Valley Thursday February 24th, then from the Ohio Valley across Pennsylvania to Long Island during Friday February 25th, before tracking rapidly northeast off the New England coast Friday night.

This storm system produced a widespread swath of heavy wet snow across the greater Capital District and surrounding area, the Lake George Saratoga region, the Mohawk River Valley, Schoharie Valley, southern Adirondacks and southern Vermont during the day Friday. Snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour occurred, beginning during the early morning hours, and persisting until late afternoon.
