Snowmelt from a late season snowpack combined with heavy rain produced widespread flooding across northern New York. Four to six inches of water was released from the snowpack over April 10 to 15 when daytime highs reached the 60s and 70s, and overnight lows remained well above freezing. Rivers were brought to near bankfull or minor flood levels from snowmelt alone. Rain developed along and ahead of a cold front on April 15, and forced rivers out of their banks. Freezing temperatures returned by the morning of April 16, which slowed or halted the runoff, and flooding gradually subsided.
