Low pressure developed along the mid Atlantic coast Tuesday, February 23rd, then gradually moved northward toward southern New England Tuesday night and Wednesday. This system blanketed the area in a heavy wet snow resulting in treacherous travel conditions, widespread power outages and even some building collapses. Generally, 1 to 2 feet of snow accumulated across much of east central New York with the highest amounts above 1500 feet.
The heavy wet snow resulted in widespread power outages across east central New York including impacts to six of Central Hudson Gas and Electric major transmission lines. Numerous trains were delayed and or canceled on Amtrak between Albany-Rensselaer and Poughkeepsie due to power outages. At times crossing gates had to be manually activated due to the power outages.  In addition, eight of Amtrak's 26 weekdays trains between Albany-Rensselaer and New York City's Penn Station had to be canceled Thursday, February 25th, to conduct repair work to tracks and systems that were damaged from the storm. There were a number of flights canceled at the Albany International Airport. Many cities declared snow emergencies.
