An area of low pressure developed over the Texas Panhandle on Feburary 17. The low deepened and tapped  into Gulf of Mexico moisture as it tracked northeast through the Mississippi, Tennessee and Ohio valleys early on Feburary 18. The storm then tracked across the Mason Dixon line early on Feburary 19  before heading out to sea. 	Eastern New York remained in the cold portion of the system. Snow, mixed with a little sleet fell from the Mohawk Valley northward, while snow changed to sleet and freezing rain further south. Eight to 14 inches of snow acumulated across the area where all snow fell. Four to 8 inches accumulated where the mix took place. Specific accumulation amounts included 10.2 inches at Albany, 11.2 inches at Round Lake in southern Saratoga county, 8.8 inches at Stuyvesant, Columbia county, and 8 inches at Cairo, Greene county. 	The storm resulted in many school and business closures. Fifty of the 110 flights were cancelled on Friday at the Albany International Airport.  There were numerous traffic accidents and unfortunately, one of them claimed two lives in Washington County.
