Several areas of low pressure converged over the Atlantic coast. The result over the region was a prolonged snow event that began during the evening hours of the 1st and persisted through the morning of the 3rd.  Snowfall rates were generally about a half- to one-inch per hour though the snow briefly intensified on the afternoon and evening of the 2nd. Snow totals downwind of Lakes Erie and Ontario were enhanced by the lake moisture. The storm caused limited interruptions to post-holiday travel. Specific snowfall amounts included:  19 inches at Fulton; 18 inches at Northern Rochester; 13 inches at Dansville and Palermo; 12 inches at Ripley; 11 inches at Rochester Airport, Youngstown, Macedon, Perrysburg and Warsaw; 10 inches at Almond, Elma, Colden, Wales, Boston, and Niagara Falls Airport; 9 inches at Alma, Randolph, Dunkirk, Jamestown, Lowville, and Avon; 8 inches at Wellsville, Whitesville, Franklinville, West Seneca, Williamsville, Pavilion  and Stafford; 7 inches at Montezuma, Buffalo Airport, Constableville, Geneva, and Honeoye.
