A low pressure system tracked across the Great Lakes late Saturday December 20th, into Sunday December 21st. As this low moved into the eastern Great Lakes, a second low pressure developed south of Long Island Sunday afternoon, and intensified rapidly, moving northeast off the northern New England coast by Monday morning December 22nd.
A swath of moderate to heavy snow fell across the southwest Adirondacks, the Lake George and Saratoga region, the Mohawk and Schoharie Valleys, beginning early Sunday morning, and tapering off by Sunday evening.
Snowfall accumulations generally ranged from 6 to 12 inches, with the greatest amounts occurring across the southern Adirondacks, where snowfall amounts reached or exceeded one foot.
Strong winds and Lake Effect snowbands persisted in the wake of this storm system for Sunday night and Monday.
