On the morning hours of Thursday, Februrary 8th, an area of low pressure rapidly developed off the mid-Atlantic coast. The development of this storm was aided by the phasing with another strong upper level disturbance moving towards the coast from the Great Lakes region.  As this developing storm moved northeast off the Northeast coast from the afternoon of Thursday, February 8th and into the overnight hours, a large amount of Atlantic moisture was pulled westward, producing snowfall.
The track of the storm remained just far enough to the east to keep the heaviest snowfall east of the region across New England.  However, a widespread moderate snowfall occurred across much of eastern New York, with some pockets of heavier snow across the Taconics and Catskills. In addition, strong northeast winds allowing for some blowing and drifting of snowfall, especially across the high terrain.
The snow tapered off during the morning of Saturday, February 9th. Total snowfall amounts ranged from around 6 inches in the Lake George Region to around a foot in the Catskills, mid-Huson Valley and Taconics.
