A fast moving low pressure system tracked northeast along the eastern seaboard on December 11. While the surface low was fairly weak, it brought a nasty winter mix of precipitation to much of eastern New York. Following on the heels of the surface storm, a compact upper air low brought a burst of heavy snow across the Catskills, Mohawk Valley and Greater Capital District, mainly on the west side of the Hudson River. Snowfall rates reached up to 3 inches per hour across much of the area and some thundersnow was reported. Storm total accumulations exceeded a foot across Western Greene County where East Jewitt and Windham both reported 15 inches. Other snowfall accumulations included 6.3 inches at Albany and 10.0 inches at Knox, both in Albany County,  10.0 inches in Conklingville, Saratoga County and 13 inches in Cobleskill, Schoharie County. The combination of the ice, sleet and heavy wet snow resulted in some spotty power outages and many school delays or closings.
