Low pressure developed across the southeastern US on Monday January 24. This storm consolidated along the coast of Georgia, then began to rapidly deepen early on January 25 . The storm turned north, hugging the coastline as it moved just to the east of Cape Cod by early January 26. The storm brought a large swath of heavy snow, generally in the 6 to 12 inch range across most of eastern New York. A bit of sleet mixed in with the snow from the Mohawk Valley southward, but snow was the primary precipitation type. Specific snowfall amounts included 12.5 inches at Herkimer, Herkimer county, 12 inches at Tribes Hill, Montgomery county, 10.6 inches at Albany, and  17 inches at East Jewitt, Greene County. There was some blowing and drifting snow associated with the storm, but not enough to classify it as a blizzard. The snow forced the closure of many schools and businesses throughout the area. There were numerous delays at the Albany International Airport.
