A large closed upper atmospheric area of low pressure remained quasi-stationary across New England and Quebec from December 5th through December 8th. A relatively strong surface storm located across New Brunswick on December 6th retrograded across Quebec on December 7th.
A broad, deep layered and moisture laden north to northeast flow delivered snow across much of Vermont and portions of northern New York on the 6th and 7th. Local north-northwest facing mountain upslope regions provided local enhancement that accounted for wide variety in snowfall amounts.
