A strengthening low pressure system tracked east from the Ohio Valley into southeast New York State during Tuesday February 26th, and into the Gulf of Maine by Wednesday morning on February 27th.
This storm system brought a large swath of moderate to heavy snow across east central New York and adjacent western New England, beginning Tuesday evening, and ending Wednesday morning.
Total snowfall accumulations ranged from 8 to 14 inches within the Mohawk Valley, extending into the Lake George and Saratoga region, and upper Hudson Valley, as well as across higher elevations of the Schoharie Valley and eastern Catskills, with 3 to 7 inches further south and east into the Capital Region and central Taconics.
Intense snowfall rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour occurred Tuesday evening, which severely hampered the Tuesday evening commute. Numerous roads were closed or became impassable Tuesday evening, along with numerous accidents within the Capital Region.
In addition, this heavy snowfall resulted in the closings, or delayed openings of numerous schools and businesses Wednesday morning.
