A low pressure system originating over Texas moved northeast and across the central and eastern Great Lakes Wednesday, December 9th. A secondary low formed over the mid Atlantic region early Wednesday morning and strengthened as it moved northeast across Long Island and southern New England during the day.
Snow overspread east central New York between 3 AM and 5 AM LST Wednesday morning. The snow was heavy at times with snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches an hour
in some locations. Some warmer air worked in aloft causing sleet to mix with the snow during the day Wednesday.  The precipitation became light and tapered off by early Wednesday afternoon as it changed to rain below 1000 feet, and freezing rain above 1000 feet in elevation. Snowfall totals ranged from around 5 inches up to 12 inches.
