A long lasting snowstorm occurring across all of eastern upstate New York between the evening of New Years Day and the morning of January 3rd, 2014.
A slow moving frontal boundary situated over the mid-Atlantic Region was in place on Wednesday, January 1st.  An area of high pressure situated over southern Quebec allowed Arctic air to move down into the region.  As a weak wave of low pressure developed along the front, moisture moved up and over the frontal boundary into the region. As a result, light snow broke out and gradually spread from south to north between the evening on Wednesday, January 1st and the early morning hours on Thursday, January 2nd. The snow evolved into a moderate snow over portions of the Mohawk Valley, Schoharie Valley and Capital Region during the morning hours on January 2nd and continued through much of the day.  Further south, there was a brief break in the steady snowfall during the daytime on January 2nd, but it remained quite cold, with temperatures only in the single digits over much of the region.
On the evening of Thursday, January 2nd, a new area of low pressure began to form of the mid-Atlantic coast.  This brought some moisture from the Atlantic Ocean into the region, and a moderate snowfall developed over the entire area.  The snow gradually tapered off to light snow and snow showers from west to east overnight as the low pressure area tracked east northeast away from the region.  By the morning hours of Friday, January 3rd, a general 6 to 12 inches of snow fell over much of the region, with lighter amounts across the far western Adirondacks and the mid-Hudson valley region.  A few spots in the high terrain of the northern Catskills and Helderbergs saw close to 15 inches.  In addition, temperatures remained very cold and with a cold northwest wind, wind chill values were zero to minus 20 degrees.
