A powerful storm impacted the region, the second in just a couple of days bringing  heavy rainfall and a heavy wet snow to the local area. The heavy wet snow resulted in additional and continued widespread power outages across east central New York, downed trees and power lines, treacherous travel, road closures, train delays, building collapses and snow emergencies. In addition to the heavy precipitation, strong and gusty winds developed Thursday night into Friday morning along the east facing slopes of the Taconics with gusts up to 50 mph.
An area of low pressure developed south of Long Island Thursday, February 25th, and rapidly deepened Thursday night as it drifted northwestward into southern New England. The low began to weaken on Friday moving little, then moved gradually eastward Friday night and Saturday.
During the day Thursday precipitation overspread the area. The rain snow line set up just to the west of the Hudson River Valley with heavy wet snow occurring across  the eastern Catskills, Mohawk Valley and portions of the southern Adirondacks with snowfall rates of 2 to 3 inches an hour. Colder air began to filter into the mid Hudson Valley Thursday changing the rain to snow. Colder air eventually worked in across the rest of east central New York late Thursday night into Friday, changing the precipitation to all snow.
By the time the snow came to an end, snowfall totals of 1 to 4 feet were reported across the eastern Catskills, Mohawk Valley and portions of the southern Adirondacks on top of the 1 to 2 feet from February 23rd and 24th. The greatest totals occurred across the higher terrain, generally above 1000 feet. Lighter snow accumulations with as little as 2 to 4 inches occurred in areas were downsloping took place across portions of Washington County into the Capital District. The liquid equivalent totals from the storm where generally 1 to 2 inches, with higher values of 4 to 6 inches in portions of the eastern Catskills.
