A low pressure system tracked northeast from the Tennessee Valley late Tuesday night December 16th, to Lake Ontario by Wednesday afternoon December 17th, while another low pressure system developed off the Delmarva Peninsula and tracked northeast, passing just east of Cape Cod late Wednesday. This combination of systems brought a swath of light to moderate snowfall to much of east central New York and western New England, beginning late Tuesday evening, and ending by midday Wednesday. In addition, sleet and freezing rain also occurred, especially across portions of the southeast Catskills into the mid Hudson Valley region.
Total snow and sleet amounts ranged from an inch or less across the mid Hudson Valley, to 1 to 3 inches across the Capital District and southeast Catskills, with generally 3 to 6 inches occurring across the Mohawk Valley, the Lake George Saratoga region, and southern Adirondacks.
In addition, ice accretion of up to one tenth of an inch occurred across portions of the mid Hudson Valley.
This wintry mix led to treacherous travel conditions for the Wednesday morning commute across much of eastern New York.
