A low pressure system developed over the lower Mississippi Valley on Tuesday February 13th, and then tracked northeast, reaching the mid Atlantic coast by Wednesday morning on February 14th, while intensifying. The storm continued to strengthen during the day on February 14th, before moving off the New England coast by Wednesday night.
The storm spread a swath of very heavy snowfall across eastern New York and western New England, which started during the late evening hours of Tuesday, and tapered off late Wednesday night.
Snowfall amounts ranged from 1 to 3 feet across the hardest hit areas of New York State, which included the Schoharie Valley, western Mohawk Valley, and southern Adirondacks.  Amounts as high as 40 to 42 inches occurred in portions of western Montgomery County and southern Herkimer County. Slightly lower amounts occurred across the lower mid Hudson Valley, where sleet mixed in with the snow.
This storm significantly impacted travel and commerce across the region from Wednesday through Thursday, as many schools and businesses were closed.  Many roadways became impassable by Wednesday afternoon.
In addition, in Wappingers Falls in western Dutchess County, a roof collapse occurred due to the weight of heavy sleet and snow accumulation on a structure.  Although 20 people were displaced, there were no reports of injuries.
Strong winds also created near blizzard conditions at times during Wednesday afternoon and evening.
