An intensifying area of low pressure moved across Pennsylvania then headed northeast across New England. The system brought a significant snowfall of six to twelve inches of snow to the entire area. A brisk northerly flow also resulted in a significant amount of blowing and drifting snow. Winds gusted to 40 mph along the Lake Erie Shore. A 30-mile stretch of the New York State Thruway between Hamburg and Dunkirk was closed due to multiple accidents.  There were several reports of building collapses throughout the region from the weight of the snow which had built up throughout the snowy winter.
